Let The Future Pass, and Don't Let Go

K guys

I have some bad news.

So, as I wrote long long ago, I have wanted to write a song for a very long time

So, I busted out my guitar today and started to play around a little. So far that part is actually going better than I had expected. Im not good at guitar, I can play a few chords, but that’s about it. So, to make it a little more interesting I am veering away from standard tuning and changing it with an alternate tuning, dadf#ad. An open d tuning. So, its all cool, ‘cept in that tuning I only know 2 chords, but no worries. Im not too good at strumming and such so im gonna be picking(I think) and that im semi good at and gives me more options….so I kinda have the beginning of what I think wont suck too bad.

But heres the deal

I have never had a hard time writing lyrical things, like poems. Ever. I have always just been able to spew out a pretty good piece of poetry at random, without any sort of reason or inspiration.

But of course, when I finally have even just a little bit on the guitar, I cant thing of even a single word.

Boo

I don’t know why this is happening, but its upsetting me

So, my plan is to just finish up the guitar part, and then record it. So that way I have the entire musical part done. Then maybe by then I will be able to come up with some hopefully mediocre lyrics? I dunno. Ill keep y’all updated though.

I have heard it gets easier to write songs the more you do it, but I think my biggest problem is I have very little instrumental talent, so its hard to make something with the 5 chords I know.

Anyways, as I said ill keep ya updated, maybe put a little clip of the begginging on here or something. All I can say is if I do that I would really appreciate some feedback (I know, I HATE when people complain that no one ever comments on their blog and such, but If I do something where I honestly would like some feedback, please give me some J haha )

Anywho, I don’t really have much else to say

Im crabby because my internet has not worked for 3 days, im currently typing this in word so I can paste it to my blog whenever it decides to work again….

Selena Gomez is so freakin attractive. Just incase you forgot.

And twitter is being freakin lame today. Im not getting anything and it wont send any of mine

Bugger.

well, sorry this has been a really lame post. but alas, im am currently writing a pretty dope one. so dont even worry

unil next time!

Man Talk

wow

it has been a long time since i have really blogged!

dont worry guys, im still breathing!

but ya know, annie is the only one who has updated really

props to you annie

props to you.

but ok, so i was going to bed last night, but instead watched nearly every single one of Selena Gomez's video blogs and interviews on youtube?

why you may ask?

well, i wasnt tired, so i had watched "the princess protection program" on my computer and had a sudden relization

i am sad to say, and never though i would say

it hurts my heart so,

but

i am not going to marry taylor swift.

im going to marry selena gomez

haha

ok, so hear me out

as we all know, there is a HUGE difference in the these words:

hot

beautiful

cute

pretty

attractive

HUGE

if you are a guy, you know

if you are a girl, you might *kinda* get it

but prolly not

so, let me explain

i am physically attracted to cute girls

why?

i dunno

but ok

here are the best definitions i can muster

pretty-

ok, this is one girls use alot to describe other girls.

guys know that this is not a good thing

if a girl says her friend is really pretty, a guy will immediatly think

"oh ok so she isnt hot but i wont be scared to look at her"

pretty usually means they are much less than spectacular.

but, only if a girl says it

if a guy says it, its still on the lesser scale, but not nearly as much

we men trust the judgement of our fellow men

next

cute-

ok, i have no idea how i am going to explain this one

ill explain the others first, that will help

hot-

ok, hot is where they are just smokin!

as in, they INSTANTLY grab your attention at how good lookin they are

often times, hot is very barbie-ish and fake

hot is extreamly superficial

if i guy calls you hot, its for sure a complement but with a hint of "you look toooooooo good"

mostly

again, these are hard to explain. ask me questions to clarify if you have them

beautiful-

one of my faves

so to me, a beautiful person is attractive from the get go, but more so with time

and they dont look fake or barbie-ish, they are just all around extreamly good looking.

not saying you cant be beautiful from the start

its just....i dunno

if a guy calls you beautiful, you should take it as a serious compliment, because that is some awesome praise! good good good good.

honestly the highest you can get.

beautiful also encompasses the personality of the person to a degree, but doesnt have to.

cute-

in a way like you would say a kitty or puppy is cute.

man, i really have no idea how to describe this.

lemme give some examples

hot -- megan fox, hayden panettierre (ya i cant spell her name...), emma watson, demi lovato

pretty -- miley cyrus

beautiful -- bekah davis, julia dahdah, this one is more *personal* to the beholder...haha

cute -- selena gomez

attractive-

forgot to explain this one.

it is kinda all of them

not so much hot though. i would NEVER call taylor swift hot, but oh my goodness she is soooo attractive!

but still, all the above people are attractive. again, this one is a little more dependent on the beholder, but to me if i call you attractive that is pretty much the highest praise you could get from me, even though i made it look easy to be attractive, i dont use it lightly.

girls, just think like us men and you will understand all of this....

haha

but back to my original thoughs, selena gomez.

i always have been waaaay more attracted to the "cute" look than anything.

like, if you look at selena gomez she is so freakin cute. and sooooo attractive.

taylor swift, while so attractive and quite beautiful, is not so much cute.

and selena gomez has always been close second to taylor swift (sorry cassadee pope(who is hot))

but now, selena has taken up 1st place.

ok, so ya, this has been an uber superficial blog, but its something i just felt that i needed to share!

So, The Codex Alera Series.

SO AMAZING!

i am requireing all of my blog readers to head over to the nearest book store or library and get the first book, "Furies of Calderon"

so so good.

yes, its a fantasy book

and the magic is super cool

ahhh

im in love

but, the books dont have a map in them...which SUCKS. because there is a ton of stuff that you need a map for, and its hard to keep track of things without one. so, i googled for a map and found this dude on flickr who made all these maps


i could kiss him.

ok, no i couldent, but i was just overjoyed to have a map! so i am sharing it with you.

so, again, go NOW to get Furies of Calderon.

and just ignore the cover of the book, i thought it was cool-ish, but after reading the book, what is depicted on the cover of the book never actually happens, and even if it did its a small part of the book....

and if you are still reading this, i am mad at you because you havent left yet to go get the book....

Happy Camper?! Yes, Yes I Do Belive I Am!

so

im updating again, in like...the same week!
