surprise!

September 30th, 2007 | Category: blogging, colour, image, internet

new layout again. i’m too lazy and hungry to format everything to my tastes, but this will be by far the most customized of them all when i get around to it. i just have to find the right image. i have to do colours and all that nonsense as well. i hate deciding on colour schemes.

update – this will be the layout for the interim while i find an image and fix the code with the other.

an experiment of sorts

September 17th, 2007 | Category: blogging, concert, crazy, fun, gaming, happy, incubus, life, light grenades, me, music, singing, thoughts

does anyone know if google ads are worth it? i’ve been thinking about it just because.

i could probably sing all of morning view (ouch it only got 2 1/2 stars from rolling stone. they suck anyway), including all the harmonies and embellishments (even the ones that have only been done a few times in live performances), in my sleep. how’s that for a run-on sentence?

to say he only ever had two lessons, b’s a pretty good singer, technically i mean. he’s only gotten better too. most people get gradually worse, but his technique’s improved. his diction and phrasing has always been above par in the ‘pop’ world. i suppose that comes with being a poet. hehe, he’s a poet. that sounds so funny. he’s really settled into what he can do. he’s only thirty-one. that’s quite a feat. a lot of people can’t be taught that kind of control, let alone grasp it naturally. gee whitney, do you really need to be singing (pun unintended) his praises anymore? we all know he’s perfectly perfect in every way. it would be really bad if he somehow read this one day. it’s not entirely impossible.

it still blows my mind. it seriously feels like some wonderful dream that happened. of course there’s little secrets that i keep which make the night even more special, but i’ll never tell. Read more

note to self

September 17th, 2007 | Category: blogging, drugs, internet, note, thoughts

never change my site when tired and after missing a pill. everything is too small and i can’t see colours properly.

needless to say, i changed my site. this is the bare minimum of change because i’m far too tired/undrugged to be writing any sort of code. what’s the verdict? yes, no? too sparse? too cold? i have quite a few options left that won’t irritate me to no end with code changes in order to make them tolerable, but this one’s it for now. leave one if you have an opinion. hell, leave one if you don’t.

ask me how it feels to vie

September 16th, 2007 | Category: concert, crazy, incubus, job, life, me, music, plans, thoughts

i still haven’t read the iov board. i’m killing myself. i did however have a lengthy *ahem* discussion on the incubus group on facebook. needless to say, i won. of course the other side didn’t think so, but that’s because his head was so far up his ass . . . fill in own comparison here.

i’m having so much incubus withdrawal it’s not funny. luckily there’s news that they may start working on new album material right after the european tour. unfortunately, i still think they won’t be touring for another three to four years. gee, b’ll be thirty-five. i’ll be twenty-five. ugh, how depressing.

i still look at their pictures and can’t believe that night. it’s kind of weird how i feel right now. i’m right on the line between hysterical hope and belief that it was all meant to be and shockingly depressing realism of my inconsequential existence.

i really need to start fueling my creativity again. why do i lack so much initiative? my vocabulary is so poor right now. i can’t remember anything. i couldn’t remember vocabulary for crying out loud. i can practically feel my intelligence/life draining away. i’m meant for so much more than this. i know nothing will happen if i don’t try but trying is so hard. plus, i’ve pretty much gotten what i’ve wanted until now with minimal effort. i suppose i have to start putting in more if i want more. i know all this already, the trouble is in the doing. so often i’ve put in effort and got back minimal improvements in results. bah. on that note, i desperately need to take vocal lessons again.

now it’s headphone time, because everything sounds better on headphones unless it’s live and being blasted on twenty or so incredibly loud speakers. *sigh* it’ll be a long while until i get that again. unless . . . is it time for another crazy scheme? hey, this is how the last one started and that turned out amazingly surreal. i say i give it a shot. it all starts tomorrow when i go out for job interviews. here’s to it.
