I have a life now. How scary is that… i have internet friends complaining that i’m not online enough! Me! The boy who was on IM for a week straight last spring. The fact is, i’ve just made more of a home for myself at Drexel, which means i have less of a home on my computer and in my apartment. By ditching my involvement in theatre (yeah, it’s ditched, more on that later) i’ve been able to increase involvement in things like PiNuEpsilon and the newspaper, things i actually wanted to do last year. And guitar ensemble, which is just about my only practice playing with other people these days. Plus, i actually go out with friends on Friday’s and Saturdays now, and i work twice a week. So… maybe this just sounds like me bitching, but in reality it’s just me telling you that i’m happy now that i’m busy, and i’m sorry that the thing that has to suffer is this. Sorry.

I can’t play guitar for shit. Well, actually, it’s becoming increasingly evident that i think much more like a rhythm guitarist than like a soloist or lead guitarist. For one thing, a solo infers having some sort of rhythm to solo to, of which i have none other than my own. Essentially, i’m all about being able to strip a song down to a solo version, and so i have no use for solo-ing tricks Furthermore, i don’t really know how to construct a good solo; i know how to do it with music theory and with scales, but i can’t write anything worthwhile past a four bar fill. While this revelation at first upset me a bit, i then realized that hardly any of my favourite albums are solo-laden, just riff laden. And, riffs are cool. Yeah… so, don’t expect any big guitar solos on my next disc. Just thought i’d warn you.

I’d like to add that Bush currently leads by under .7million popular votes, and that Philadelphia voted for Gore by a margin of over .3million. Which means, Philly is pretty damned responsible for both the PA win and the current popular vote totals. It just goes to show how tight this race is – if Gore could have won another large city he’d be ahead on popular vote; and i think there could be a very severe public backlash bordering on civil war if one candidate wins by popular vote and another takes the election by electoral vote.
