a day full of awesome

listening to: Burden of a Day - Pt.2 Sometimes They Do

today, i wanted to be productive, and i totally was.
i thought i was off to a bad start when i finally got myself out of bed at 11.
but after some breakfast i got to work and finished the JCS video. i'm not sure if they'll want me to put more in it or not. the video has to be under 5 minutes, and it's about 3 and a half. i felt like it was pretty complete though, and it would have been hard to get more in i believe. oh well. it's uploading to youtube right now and tomorrow morning i'm dropping off CDs with the file on it.

so, i finished that, awesome. then i went on to play with LSDJ a bit. made some cool stuff, which i posted as a facebook video. the program is cool and has tons of possibility, i need to work with it more though. i would really *really* like to get it so i can play it on my actual gameboy. that would be so much more convenient. i think i would carry that giant gameboy around with me everywhere if i had the lsdj cartridge.

before my summer started i decided that i wanted to try to go through the early thrice CDs and learn how to play every song. so far i'm at track 3 on the first cd. i'm not really trying hard to memorize everything, i'm just going through and finding that i'm able to play all the parts and so i move on. i started playing around with the beginning of one song though and i made something of my own. then i decided that i could fit it with some lyrics that i wrote out just before bed last night. i actually like what i came up with quite a bit. i've got more of the music worked out than the words, but i don't find lyrics that terribly hard to write. it's easier to write music before words though I think, i like having a melody to work with. i even started making a guitar solo-ish part :) maybe tomorrow i'll work on the words more.

after all that, i went and played Ultimate on recommendation of Bill. i'm glad i went, it was good fun. came home, talked to giannii about work stuff a bit, then nick called and asked if i wanted to watch another chick flick. so he picked me up and we went and did. good times.

nick may be right about what we talked about on the way home. really, am i waiting for something? well yes, something, but in specific? if i am, in specific, then i know that it's highly unlikely and... is it? see, i don't know. i hate to intrude, i don't want to affect anything. stupid obsessing over consequences. maybe that's keeping me from... whatever. well, if i think about it, it's simple really, i'm making this more difficult than it is. hm...... why didn't i think of this before? boy, sometimes i write things and even i don't know what i was talking about when i look back at it. if it's raining then i'll know for sure.

and so here i am. i'm liking the Burden of a Day CD more. good guys, them. i'm getting sleepy and i gotta wake up early so this is all. i'll leave you with one of my favorite songs from the CD so far, it's got the lyrics in the video so i won't write them out. goodnight.
