Hey! Getting CLOSER to doing music. I think I have to buy software. The crappy freeware version of the expensive software that came with the Pre-Amp I bought really isn’t enough for what I’m trying to accomplish! Might have to spend Oh I Don’t Know $440 dollars on software moving forward if I wanna start writing songs again. You shouldn’t need to spend money on a computer program to be able to Write A Song. You’d think so but WRONG. Anyway I figured out how to use the basics so far I think so I’m on track to make some music before the year is over. I’m getting a good sound out of my guitar just using my old distortion pedal from high school. Talk about A BLAST from the past. No amp needed! Anyway. I realized recently there’s a song I wrote freshman year of college that is Exactly A Nirvana Song that I definitely had never heard at the time. I mean, not the entire song word for word, note for note. Just Chord progression! But ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME RHYTM AND BEAT AND PACING AND STRUM PATTERN. Sounds exactly the same as him playing the chords as me playing it and it’s an unintuitive chord progression. And the fact that we took that unintuitive chord progression and Made The Exact Same Thing Out Of It… feels cool! Probably same Key as I would normally play it. Anyway it’s Nirvana- Opinion. My singing style went differently but that’s cool! Different voc’s for different folks! Also he sticks with only those chords the entire song. My song had MORE. Cause I’m a better artist I guess, I dunno.
Christmas! I celebrated by not having explicit nightmares last night. The dreams I had were kind of pleasant this past nightmorn! Anyway. I got up a few times over the night this past night to eat a snack or use the bathroom and I thought If I were someone else, in a different situation, me getting up at this time could be up to no good Getting Up Out Of Bed And Doing Stuff And Getting Things in the middle of This Night. What makes this night different than other nights. Because it’s the night we partake of presents. Well it’s the night the presents show up. We partake the next day! How come there’s not more people who try to capture Santa. Why sleep while Santa delivers you your presents when you can ensnare Santa and get EVERYONE’S presents! I’m not endorsing that kind of behavior I’m just acknowledging that’s how some people might think or act. Most people who believe in Santa are little children and thus unable to pull something like that off. Ah okay. What’s the motive for telling your kids that Santa exists. No, we your parents didn’t give you presents. SANTA DID IT. WE DON’T LOVE YOU. SANTA LOVES YOU. I don’t understand this religion! I guess I get it. In theory Santa is FUN and MAGIC and CAPTIVATING and he gets children EXCITED. Parents are OLD and BORING and WE GET IT, WHO CARES.
HMM. I’ll only see one movie this weekend. It’ll probably be Anaconda! Not totally completely looking forward to it but I like the people in it. So what if it won’t be the best it possibly could be. Who among us is! Jesus. That’s LITERALLY the meaning of Christmas. Huh. Anyway. When was the last time I opened up a gift-wrapped present box. A nice container that was covered in wrapping paper and even ribbons and had something of worth inside that presumably even I valued and wanted and in the end made use of or got joy from. Hmm. I dunno. OH I KNOW Books! Probably last Christmas I showed up for whenever that was, 2-3 years ago or more. I got presents like that that turned out to be books that I read one-and-done that were okay. Pop-History books. Not the best but I read em so that’s an endorsement that I got something out of ‘em. Anyway. Good Gifts can’t be books. Try telling yourself as a child that a BOOK is a good gift. Unless you were a NERD then You-As-Child would slap that book out of your hand and demand You-As-Adult DEMAND A NEW GIFT. Try telling yourself as a child anything! You can’t do it! They exist in the past and you exist in the present and potentially future! MAYBE time goes both ways, I dunno, not for me to say!!!
Huh. If I could tell myself as a child anything it’d be Don’t Touch The Stove! I dunno what that means. Hmm. I did burn myself taking food out of the oven once. THAT must be what I’m referring to. Makes sense. I think I still have the burn mark somewhere on my wrist or hand or arm but I forget where it is and now I don’t know where to look and I’m starting to doubt if this even happened at all! What else is going on. Five paragraphs isn’t enough to get into a groove. Also this font isn’t a good one to get into a groove. ALSO I’m not so sure about this domain name. ALSO the planet we live on? Not happy about it! I like the word groove. One of those words that Is What It Means. You get into a groove right in the middle of it. The two, “O’”’s. GROOVE right in the center of the word REAL GROOVY. Makes sense. Remember president Gerbert Groover. No. Fair enough. $440 Software for Music is only just as expensive as School Of Rock for one month. Not even counting transportation! IT’S worth ONE MONTH of School! Sure! Let’s do it. Make that purchase today. Why not. It’s a Christmas miracle. Anyway. The year is winding down. I should do a top ten list. Of what. I’m not sure. For David Letterman Top Ten lists, is it completely in Ascending Funniest Order? Does it go Ten is least Funny and One is Most Funny? That was always my baseline subconscious assumption but it’s gotta be a LOT more complicated than that! Gotta be an entire SCIENCE devoted to DL Top Ten List. That science is obsolete. Huh.
Alright. Whenever I turn on my TV I see David Letterman. For some reason that’s what my TV decided to show me. The David Letterman Streaming Channel. Random DL clips. I could complain but I won’t! Anyway. I started watching David Letterman and then sometimes Conan afterwards really young. Possibly when I was 6-7. I would go into my brother’s room and we’d watch it on his TV. I was reminded of that recently. Something SET ME OFF. Huh. It’s sad to think in a generation we might not have Late Night TV. What are kids and their brothers supposed to do late at night? It’s too late to play Sega Genesis! Mom and Dad won’t allow it! Late Night Talk Show is a special carve out of the rules! Anyway. I dunno. Gotta imagine some form of the format will live on! I’ll imagine it for ya! Anyway. When I was in high school I binged Late Night Talk Shows like a fiend. It was the dawn of DVR/TIVO. And I made good use of that to watch All The Good Shows at my leisure. So I watched four hours Of Late Night four nights a week! WHAT FUN. What? FUN? I GUESS. IN A WAY. OFTEN IT WAS. In many ways it was a golden age with lots of peak comedy and laughs. But also I felt something MISSING if I didn’t watch each and every episode of all the shows I liked so it was an unhealthy obsession almost in a way! So there were pros and cons! Well, anyway. That’s all for today! Happy HOLIDAYS you fools.
