lalala. So, i should be practicing my new songs more; I brought my electric guitar to the apartment. I am still undecided on whether i’m going to include any older songs like Bridge or Afterglow on my next disc … i think i’ll just record some old ones for posterity, and if they work, they work. The trouble with tracking an album in advance is that you might not record some of the songs to your liking. But it’s a guideline. That guideline is a progression right now, a progression of emotion from “Never Say Goodbye” to “Goodbye,” which is obviously a progression in itself. But, in “Goodbye” i even say “don’t you ever say goodbye” … so i reversed my purpose; in the first song i tell the subject that i won’t say goodbye, but in the last song i ask them if they ever could. That’s been a concept that’s stayed with me for a few months now – other than that and the fact that “Under My Skin,” will be dead center, i’m not sure how it will turn out.

One of my co-workers had a near death experience with alcohol the other day. And, when i say near death, my meaning is that her heart stopped at some point. By the grace of god (or someone) she was with a very responsible friend who got her to a hospital immediately, but she’s mired in trouble that runs deeper than a radical detoxification can cure. It’s just a shame when good intelligent people get wrapped up in other people’s problems, and worse when they can’t get untangled from their own.

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 am very displeased that Torrez took down his blog without much warning at all (after a week or three of writer’s block) and has not yet replaced it. He’s reassured me that he won’t be disappearing from the face of the internet, but i still miss being able to browse back through his excellent commentary. I don’t know what’s worse, the lack of new posts or the lack of all posts!

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.
