I just tuned my guitar to open g so I can play rocks off by the rolling stones. When I pluck strings, they produce a tone for a few seconds and then it cuts out. What is the deal here? I’m at a loss but don’t want to bring it in to Guitar Center because the employees there scare me. halp
And then

I saith unto ye, I hate the way thou ordain thine love. Oh my, I’ve lost a lot of blood. I’ve lost a lot of cool, cool.
I have all my recording equipment and a new amp… and a drum machine. Bye for now! :DDD

Yeah for coasting! My sleep schedule doesn’t work anymore. My eating schedule don’ work no mo’. I found the commune house; I found the dream girl.
I’ve swapped amps with my friend Joe, my time spent playing guitar has increased quite a bit recently as a result. The party house is also a great congregation of musical motivaaation. I happened upon my other quarter inch cable too, opening up the possibility that I might be able to record with this temporary Marshall. Anyway, I’ve got a bunch of errands to take care of before I can learn some tunes for tonight’s party.

I’m gonna to play some guitar, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna drag myself through the mud, yeah, gonna throw it on you. I’m gonna make some sense, by the time I’m through. I’m gonna… no I can’t lose!
I am very excited about music these days. I’ve cleared up a lot of conflicts in my mind recently which has really helped my motivation level. As things slip into place I feel a greater desire to perfect my ability and apply it in a more recognizable way. I just stopped giving a fuck about what I’m supposed to be doing – conceptions of normalcy in someone else’s brain – somewhere along the path, which has calmed me considerably. As I relax more it becomes easier to be creative and to reflect upon that creativity positively. That’s important to me; it’s too easy to constantly criticize one’s creations to the point of counter-productivity.
I definitely care more about my reflections on my creations more than I care about those of anyone else. After all, it’s supposed to represent something to me, and the fun for everyone else comes from looking at it from their lens.
Oh yeah, and Neil Young is the shit! Keep on rockin in the free world!

I’ve got a big weekend planned and a lot of planning yet to do for the hiking trip that commences this coming Wednesday. Tomorrow I will be attending Billy’s graduation party, an event I’m excited for. I haven’t seen my friend in a while and it will be good to touch base with him, especially now my head is a little clearer! :)
Saturday is a musical celebration, as the gSPOT is practicing once more. We will share our love-sweat with youuuuu.
Sunday is KYssie’s burfaday. I hope she doesn’t barf on me.
After this weekend and the trip, I’m going to be taking on the role of enforcer. This is going to be great for my guitar playing. I have several fun but un-creative pursuits I’m working on as we speak (in break-mode right now). Here’s to not chalking this up as another abandoned endeavor (we’ve had enough of that, haven’t we blarg fish??!!??). :D
These pursuits haven’t gone undocumented and I do believe even the semi-clever soul can make educated guesses.

I’m fucking cranky and it’s because I haven’t had a cigarette in a long time (relative to how addicted I am to them – the 12th of August was the last time you curious motherfuckers).
This experience has taught me there is no guarantee that you can control everything in your life. Also, it has taught me that I want to control everything in my life. I’m going to listen to Helter Skelter now. Peace.

I just wrote more honest lyrics in ten minutes than I have my entire life previous to fifteen minutes ago. Once the songs are done, I think I will share them with everyone who reads this thang.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Can lately. Can can can everywhere, hide it from the man – Oh Yeah and the Paperhouse jam.
I also went to a really interesting bar in Dinkytown last night. The place is called the Kitty Kat Club, and is located underneath Annie’s on 14th. The decor is random but coordinated, if that makes any sense. We saw a few bands play that were alright. All in all it was a good night. Oh, and the chaptain n chokes are very strong there.
