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.
