I'm gonna fast forward, a lot.
I learned that one thing I blogged about against a person about was completely misinformed and off. So, sweet. She's still cool. :-)
After the Christmas season was over, and mine and Amber's birthday parties (for gifts as i've not properly thanked for yet), i've been jumping into music again.
Adam, Andrew, Wes, and I had an awesome practice on Thursday. I didn't originally think I would have so much playing cover songs in a band, but it's like a different game. There's a lot of things that aren't issues in a cover band that it's nice to play with, even though we haven't played out yet. Plus it's a good way to jam with Andrew, :-). I can't wait until we play more...
I've been hunting for people on Craigslist a little less, and been keeping in contact with people I used to play music with. Today I hung out with Kyle (ex-Farefis) because we were originally gonna have a sit down with Dustin and Sid about maybe getting back together in Farefis, now that we're older and more mature. But it was just me and Kyle, lol. So I got high, and we went behind a bowling alley near Wes's house to talk about what everyone's been up to and where they're at now. I wonder how well Farefis would function under the circumstances of everyone's past with everybody. But maybe the next time I see Kyle, everyone will be there and I can get a handle on how we function together just being in the same room.
I'm keeping my options open for music, cuz I don't know what I wanna do. I just know I need to do something. Once you lose your footing, i'm noticing it's harder to get it back. I did finally realize that I should push so hard to play guitar in a band. I was playing guitar the other night over at Wes's place, and out of nowhere I just thought "You know what? Fuck this.. I'm playing some drums." And set the guitar down, I started the song over on my iPod, and sat down behind the drums. Something I didn't notice before was that I get truly lost in what i'm hearing when i'm on the drums. I remembered that when i'm playing to music, especially when there are varying dynamic of songs, I experience a slew of emotions depending on what i'm thinking about when I hear that song. Sometimes the old tricks are the best ones, so i'll probably stick with drums.
Something else I realized is how much I love the fact that Blogger will autosave drafts in case you get high and lose track of windows your looking at. Good job team.
Asta.

Wednesday night.
I forgot how much drumming can take over me.
Usually when I play to something (with my iPod) I get into

How To Install Software -- A 12-Step Program
by Dave Barry from his new book "Dave Barry In Cyberspace"
1. Examine the software packaging until you find
a little printed box that explains what kind of
computer system you need to run the software.
It should look something like this:
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2386 PROCESSOR OR HIGHER
628.8 MEGAHERTZ MODEM
719.7 MB FREE DISK SPACE
3546 MB RAM
432323 MB ROM
05948737 MB RPM
ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
2 TURTLE DOVES
NOTE: This software will not work on your computer.
2. Open the software packaging and remove the manual.
This will contain detailed instructions on
installing, operating, and troubleshooting the
software. Throw it away.
3. Find the actual software, which should be in
the form of either a 3.5-inch floppy diskette or
CD-ROM, located inside a sealed envelope that says:
LICENSING AGREEMENT:
By breaking this seal, the user hereinafter agrees to abide by
all the terms and conditions of the following agreement that
nobody ever reads, as well as the Geneva Convention and the U.N.
Charter and the Secret Membership Oath of the Benevolent
Protective Order of the Elks and such other terms & conditions,
real and imaginary, as the Software Company shall deem necessary
and appropriate, including theright to come to the user's home
and examine the user's hard drive, as well as the user's
underwear drawer if we feel like it, take it or leave it, until
death do us part, one nation indivisible, by the dawn's early light,
...finders keepers, losers weepers, thanks you've been a great
crowd, and don't forget to tip your servers.
4. Hand the software to a child aged 3 through 12 and say,
"(Name of child), please install this on my computer."
5. If you have no child age 3 through 12, insert the software
in the appropriate drive, type "SETUP" and press the Enter key.
6. Turn the computer on, you idiot.
7. Once again type "SETUP" and press the Enter key.
8. You will hear grinding and whirring noises for a while,
after which the following message should appear on your screen:
The Installation Program will now examine
your system to see what would be the best way to render it
inoperable. Is it OK with you? Choose one, and be honest:
+-------+ +-------+
| YES | | SURE |
+-------+ +-------+
9. After you make your selection, you will hear grinding
and whirring for a very long time while the installation
program does God knows what in there. Some installation
programs can actually alter molecular structures, so
that when they're done, your computer has been
transformed into an entirely new device, such as
a food processor.
At the very least, the installation program will create many new
directories, sub-directories, sub-sub-directories, on your hard
drive and fill them with thousands of mysterious files with names
like "puree.exe," "fester.dat," and "doo.wha."
10. When the installation program is finished, your screen
should display the following message:
CONGRATULATIONS
The installation program cannot think of anything else
to do to your computer and has grown bored. You may now
attempt to run your software. If you experience any
problems, electrical shocks, insomnia, shortness of breath,
nasal discharge, or intestinal parasites, you should
immediately *!@!$)$%@&*^^)$*!#$_$*^^&
11. At this point your computer system should become less
functional than the federal government, refusing to
respond even when struck with furniture.
12. Call the toll-free Technical Support Hotline number
listed on the package and wait on the line for a
representative, who will explain to you, in a clear,
step-by-step manner, how to adopt a child aged 3
through 12.

I'm starting up another Dr. Seuss Collection.
Quick side note: I house the tendencies and attention of a young child. I like mad libs, Dr. Seuss, video games, and some toys. Lol.
I don't even know what happened with all my Dr. Seuss books, but it doesn't matter cuz Amber GOT ME MORE! WOO! She got me a hefty stack of Dr. Seuss for Christmas and i've got them on the top shelf of my portion of the desk next to my new toy:
Thanks Stacie!
But the real hype is Dr. Seuss books. Gimme. All of your Dr. Seuss are belong to me.

Post Holiday Wrapup.
We got more games! And a bunch of Microsoft points to blow on XBOX Live. With the DDR Universe 3, we can both play at the same time! And with Tiger Woods '09, we can relax and be lazy.
To add to my collections of keychains, wallet, shirts, systems, I now have a reversible beanie too:
Original Gamer, and a collage of NES controllers. I likey. Blah blah finkles types for extra text contentual items to inhabit space on the internet Gomer Poooooooooooool nutsack face.
Who can't use some more storage space? And to find out how much more you are like your dad than you thought! The internet has a way of making text sound angry and cynical, and the last sentence was not. :-) I'm gonna be youthful for a long time.
New Year's was pretty sweet. We had originally planned on playing a couple songs as a band, but the attention went up when Monica took over the mic and we played some old Bob Marley songs with Tim and then some slow vocal jazz. It was refreshing to play some different music. But amidst the jamming, I found my new love for jeans. I don't know what kind they are. But I like jeans now.
I'm sick, i'm going to bed.
