Music theory is I've been trying to figger out how chords are built on my own before I went to the web looking for info, and I really liked my idea better'n anything that I've found there. But... I've also found a few things that I was completely wrong about. O'well, that's how I learn stuff. Synapse dump, then start all over. Karen and I went out to the mall today and bought me some really nice shirts at 66 to 75% off, and I got a hundred dollars worth. She held one up, proclaiming, "That's an eighty-dollar shirt!" and my reply was, of course, that no shirt is worth eighty bucks. And it really wasn't worth the twenty bucks that I paid for it, either, but you just can't buy a good five-dollar shirt any more. So now I've got enough long-sleeved shirts to last me about ten years. Other than that, the day was pretty much taken up with music-playing and research. On the political side, that jackass Nader has enter the presidential race. There are a lot of people that are bitter about his participation in the last one, because he *was* the spoiler, and it took me quite a while to figger that out, I'm kinda slow. But the only way to get BabyBush out is to vote someone else in, this time there's no room for lost votes on the democratic side, and let's face it, he ain't gonna get any votes from the loyal republicans, and probably none from the swing either. I am less than enthusiastic about Kerry, his saving grace in my eyes is that he isn't BabyBush. I am feeling better today, I got a good sleep last night, about twelve hours, in fact. And I'm starting to lose the calluses on my fingertips, I really need to spend some time with my guitar, it's being sadly neglected lately. After I get the keyboard thing figgered out, I need to start on drums... I know nothing at all about drums. Or rhythm. And then I've got lyrics for about fifteen songs that I need to figger out the music for. Learning the keyboard is key (heh) to doing that. All of the songs that I've written in the past that I put music to... well, the music wasn't very good, mostly because I didn't know what I was doing. And now I half-way do, but I'm afraid that's kinda like being half-witted?
Hard on old heads, but it is
Fun in a weird way...
