directorial debuts?

haha.
i'm such a dreamer.

idea number one:
a subway,
kind of turns cartoonish,
kind of trippy
various band members seem to be following.
do you know what i'm seeing?

idea number two:
inside a television set,
product placement
almost every second of the video
but possibly extremely cheap.

i have yet to come up with a good song that would go well with this video...

g'night to all.
g'night july 2008.

In continuation of my last two posts.

One band almost did rescue me.

It was pretty fucking incredible.

Alex Gaskarth you are too kind.

Have my babies?

Certainly not my parents.

I'm not going to fucking Warped Tour.

Any bands feel like rescuing me?  I'll still pay full ticket price!

Haha.   I wish.  :[

Who's afraid of the big, bad Warped?

Things that need to get done before Warped Tour:

-Get cameras/cell phones/what ever ready.

-Finish TAI... sketches.

-Decorate drumsticks for The Butcher.

-Decorate bag or t-shirt for self.

-Buy things for bands.

What to buy for bands:

-Buy stuff off of Gabe's shopping list, including chummus.

-Buy Vitamin Water for All Time Low.

-Buy flowers and chocolates for Jack Barakat.

Last Night.

Last night, me and my friend went to see Teddy Geiger in concert.  I really enjoyed it.  A lot of the time he was hidden behind his piano, but the music was always good.  He's a really talented musicians.

And a lot of really talented musicians have tortured souls.

So my friend and I decided to wait to see if we could meet him.  There was this huge line, so we decided to wait on the side until the line was gone.  As we're watching him, we notice things.  Like the way he was always tapping his fingers impatiently.  The way he was tapping his feet.  The way every time he would "smile" it wasn't.  He looked miserable.  He looked like he didn't want to be there.

I managed giving some guy to give him one of my hand made guitar picks.  If he ever decides to do anything with it, that's fine.  If he doesn't that's also fine.

He's got such a pretty face and the sadness really takes away from it.

I seriously wish there was something I could do to make him feel better.  But the best thing we figured we could do, was just give him some space.

It really upset me to see him like that.

Pictures from the actual music part will be up on my Flickr soon.  But not from the meet-and-greet-ish thing.  I was too heartbroken to take any pictures at that time.

Can you hear humping on your stereo?

Such a good song.
And the video is muy fun.

All Worked Out

Comment Away, little chickadees!

All fixed!

Really loving GCH's sound right now.

New Format.

Attn Guys and Dolls:

I got a new format for my comments.

I like it better.

I'd like it even better if I could get it to work.

I'm tired now. I'll fix it in the morning. :]

Thanks to those bloggers that opened my eyes to this format.

I hope maybe they'll check this blog out, sometime, too. :D

(Probably not, though. We shall see...)

Hehe. A lovely picture, until next time. I am amused. And you? You should be. And if you're not. That is your problem not mine. Adios. :]

i only drum neked.

Definitely go see this movie.  It is hysterical.  Plus, it's got Teddy Geiger.

I've seen it twice.  They have a whole bunch of free viewings across the country, so keep your eyes peeled.  :D

I actually met Rainn Wilson at this viewing and got to ask him a question.  He complemented my sweater.  I was shaking so much because I was nervous.  I don't think it was him that I was nervous of, either.  I think it was the fact that everyone was looking at me as I asked the question.  By the way(in case it wasn't already obvious), this guy is hilarious.

Happy Birthday.

Persistence
I thought it was really good.
Check it out, some time.

i'm moving

not really.

I got a flickr account.
I'll be posting all my photos on there.
This is the link. Click on it.

If you wanna check it out, feel free to at any time, I suppose.

I'll be posting stuff like this:

Unavailable Light

So, I recently got the best present ever. A macbook.

And now that I have it, I have garage band.
I've been practicing guitar everyday for the past couple of months and figured I'd try recording something.

Day 1:
too quiet
voice sounds like crap
brother is talking non stop in the other room
this is just to see how the program works

Day 2:
if i plug my amp in, you can hear it
can't keep a consistent volume
stop calling me mom!
ooh, my voice isn't as bad as i thought it was
what?! i didn't get a chance to fully record ANYTHING.

Day 3:
stupid plug makes too much noise
amp is much better
consistent volume one this recording. nice
aw man, you can hear mom in the background
oh well, it's faint
record voice, it's early
oh my goodness, you're going to bed? i wanna freaking record!

i skipped some days.
they weren't as important.

moral of the story is:
now i know what kids playing in garages have to deal with.
i feel your pain.

EEP!

I AM THE VERY HAPPIEST I'VE BEEN IN AGES!
I AM SHAKING LIKE A SON OF A BITCH DUE TO EXHAUSTION, I THINK, BUT I AM THRILLED TO LITTLE ITTY BITTY TINY PIECES!

I think I had a conversation with someone I look up to highly but never thought I'd ever had the chance to talk to.
It's all complicated and weird, and I'm not going to go into details but I am so happy right now. And, that's what matters. Now if only I could cheer up my friend some how. You know who you are. I will figure out a way to make you happy. The gift that keeps on giving.

A. "T.B." M.

i had a dream
that i was touring with a band.
what band? i do not know.
but i was touring.

and along with the band i was touring with
was another band
that are fairly well known.

and i was chilling,
while this band was sound checking
just kind of watching what was going on
what went where
who did what

and sitting at the drums was the drummer
for this well known band
so he called me over

he was bored
he kind of wanted someone to talk to
i was there
and wasn't busy
so he talked to me

we talked about things
i can't remember what they were
and then
we talked about our aspirations
for the future

i told him that i'm working on playing guitar
and piano
but if i had access to it
i'd be workig on playing
bass and drums
as well

he paused
"what?" i asked
he looked at the drum kit
he was seated in front of
"i play drums,you know."
"i know, what's your point?"
"i could teach you."

i was shocked and thrilled
but i didn't show it at first

"get up!" i commanded him
"why?" he asked, standing up
"so i can give you this"
i jumped at him with a hug
the biggest hug i can ever remember giving
despite the fact that it wasn't real

he smiled
and my dream faded away.

-----

weird, huh?
oh, by the way, this guy saved my birthday
i was dreading it up until i found out he shared the same one
it's silly of me, i know
but he made it okay to have my birthday :D

OH MY GOSH!

I just looked at the air guitar picture.
As much as it's a fun picture, it's kind of gross.
But funny, but still kind of gross.

I'm not the kid on the right, if there was any question in anyone's mind.
I'm the kid on the left. Minding his/her business and being totally oblivious to whatever is happening around him/her.
I mean, if I wasn't totally oblivious, you think maybe I would have seen that sooner.

Peace.

First Youtube Vid.

Happy Fourth of July and Happy Birthday, The Butcher!

Well, one of them, at least...

*muffled laughter*

I searched "guitar" on photobucket and this came up, a few pages in.

I always thought so. That is why I, to this day, continue to play air guitar. The difference with me is a lot of the stuff I air guitar to is stuff that most people would not deem worthy of the sport.

Are we not men?(No, actually I'm a girl)

I saw Devo on Saturday along with a bunch of Paul Green's School of Rock kids who were playing as well. I wish I could play half as well as most of the people that played. I'm working on it. I've actually been able to tab out the introduction for "When the Day Met the Night" and "Honey." Now, if only I could learn how to play all of the introduction to "Honey" without screwing up. Just because I have it written down does not mean I have it memorized. Oh wells.

Back to the concert, I learned a bunch of things there:
a) People mosh to Devo. Who would have guessed? (DON'T. ANSWER. THAT.) I ended up in a few of the mosh pits. I've never moshed before (I'm such a wimp) so I didn't know what the hell was going on or what the hell I should be doing. I just tried to avoid them (back to the "wimp" theory...)
b) Devo fans are scary. Really scary. I have my obsessions(and trust me, they are OBSESSIONS), but if you're obsessed with Devo, the way some of the fans at the concert are/were, it's frightening.
c) If you wait in the parking lot you might meet the band. Okay, so I didn't meet the entire band, but I met *please hold, while I look up his name (shows how much I know about them...Grr, now I feel bad that I didn't know it)* Mark Mothersbaugh.
d) Mark Mothersbaugh wrote The Rugrats' theme song. How cool is that? (My dad told me that when he picked me up from the concert.)

Speaking of concerts, I went to two concerts this past month. That's a new record for me. I normally go to one or two concerts per year. It is a nice change of pace.
