Swirling Consciousness

Hey guys! I just got home from getting my wisdom teeth removed. I feel a little dizzy, but that's about it. I've been thinking a lot about feelings lately (mainly love), and wondering about its intricacies, and ended up starting to write a song about it. It's not done yet, and I haven't yet even decided on a key, but I do know that's it's gonna be a blues song. Not sure if I'll do standard 12-bar blues though. Anyways, here's what I've got so far:
~
Sitting alone in your quiet hour
Wond'ring what it takes to make love flower

Maybe you wonder if it's just for the pleasure
Or it's something deeper,something science can't measure

I'm trying to tell you it's a worthy decision
But don't try too much; It'll be your religion


Sitting alone in your quiet hour
Wond'ring what it takes to make love flower

Maybe the rebound is your saving grace
It's really just you trying not to lose face
~
That's all I've got so far guys. I'll get around to finishing it and making my riffs in a few days. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you take the words to heart, because every word in it is true.

Strung Out

I'm still deciding on what I want the new layout to look like for the blog. And what the new title should be. But I'm not so sure yet. So this is the temp. layout. I've also been wondering (again) about how the narrative of my book should be, because right now I have to jump through hoops just to explain stuff, whereas with other styles of narration it would be so much easier. That, and I need to sit down and write out a whole storyline, because while I like just writing and letting the story flow, I also would like to leave those subtle plot hints that when someone re-reads a book makes them enjoy the book that much more. I hope I can do it.

Anywho, I picked up some new CD's the other day. They're all good, and I thought I'd make mention of them here. My Paper Heart by Francesca Battistelli, which has a rather unique sound that I like, The Invitation by Meredith Andrews, a Chicago artist that puts out some good stuff, and even though I don't listen to Paramore, I picked up the Paramore Piano Tribute CD by the Piano Tribute Players and the Strung Out On Paramore tribute CD by the Vitamin String Quartet. It's a good bit of acoustic rock, and you should check it out.

There's a bit more, but if I post it now then I won't have anything to talk about later! And who knows what I may be crazy enough to post when I come back home Friday tripped out on twelve shots of Novocaine and a few lung-fulls of Nitrous Oxide?

Fun Stuff

Once again, I have to say I LOVE my Harajuku stripes arm warmers. They're awesome. So, anyways, yesterday I went to a Chicago Rush football game. The Rush won. Yay. Today I went to a White Sox Game. The Sox Won. Even bigger yay. Then, I went to Medieval Times, sat front and center for the black and white knight, and he won. I may just have lost some of my voice after the yay that ensued. All in all, it was a very fun two days. Yay!

Sorry!

So I apologize for not having posted lately. Things have been a little busy. I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed next week Friday, and so I'm not sure how well I'll be to post for that Arts Friday. I should get around to posting that Thursday or possibly Saturday though. Wish me luck!

Edit: just picked up my prescription mouthwash  for the surgery, and I also got my Harajuku stripes arm warmers today! *cue cheering like a five year old*. Now that that cheering is over, I wanted to mention how awesome/cute these things are. Plus, the packaging was awesome, where the warmers told you that they were super kawaii (seeing as they're made in Japan, this wasn't surprising). But still! Yay!

Boredom

So I've been really bored lately. I should probably fill that time with writing, but I HATE it when my mom bugs/interrupts me while I'm writing (mostly over how to spell stuff and telling me I should be doing something besides whatever I'm doing), and so I prefer to write when she's not around. Not much interesting happened today, but I did finish up learning how to play kiss from a rose by seal. Just the one guitar by itself sounds a little empty at certain points though. Oh well. That's it for today. Hope I find something better to post tomorrow.
