The internet, and in a sense, everything around me has seemed so slow lately. Today I thought, "Why not take up blogging?" It's worth a try, right? Well, we all know how this works. I write useless details of my daily life, you read it, and comment from time to time. Got it? Good.
I suppose separating this into my different interest would be the set up, for now at least, so let's see how this goes.
Video Games:
Slowly working towards my goal of getting the world record in Super Mario 64. I was a bit too tired to focus on it too long. I got the first four stars in Bob-omb Battlefield very quickly, before ultimately falling to my death on my fifth star (the first in Cool, Cool Mountain). I'm still failing horribly on the Lakitu skip, but progress is progress. I'm happy with what I've done with it today. It seem like I've almost found a place to walk underwater in Tall, Tall Mountain, but it's starting to look impossible. Something seems to be drawing me to Tiny Huge Island today for some reason.
In other news, the first two Pokemon have been revealed with more to come next week. I hopefully we'll get a lot info. Seeing as how they basically made God in the fourth gen, I'm wondering (along with millions of other Pokemon fans out there) what legendaries they could possibly have this time.
Music:
After listening to nothing but The Beatles for almost two weeks, I feel the steam is slowly beginning to run out. I feel in another week or so I'll be off them entirely. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't one of the best musical phases I've ever been through though. Spending countless hours reading about them, getting a conclusive box set of one of the greatest bands in history, learning the name to almost every song in less than a week. It has been amazing. I believe everyone should have a Beatles phase at some point in their life. They're one of those bands that simply cannot be run into the ground. No matter how many times I listen to these songs, it's impossible to get tired any of them. It takes a truly incredible band to be able to create an experience such as this that almost anyone can share. I'm thinking the next band I'll get into will be Foreigner. I've been lacking of their music for far too long.
Band was decent to day considering the interruptions, but the real news today was in choir. I didn't feel that I did as well as I normally would. I'm really going to have to step it up in tomorrow though. With half of our bass section missing, looks like I'll be filling in for three people. Oh well, shouldn't be too bad. I still have Blake, and I seem to do better when less people are there. I guess I'm a little full of myself when it comes to my singing ability.
Personal life:
Gladly, February has brought about a stabalization in my mood. Maybe the moodiness I've been fighting the past two months involving school and self discovery is finally clearing up. Things aren't entirely perfect yet though. Everything around me seems to be telling me I'm repressing my feelings, and I'm beginning to realize that it's true. I think I know exactly what I'm repressing, but it's just to inopportune to just let it all out right now. It's beginning to eat at me though. I thought I could simply wait it out, but that's not working in the least.
So, this is my first blog post! Surprisingly filled with more content than I expected. Maybe this blogging thing is going to work out after all.

hoorah for first blog post! :D
ReplyDeletei agree with you on the beatles stuff, although (and pleaaaaase don't shoot me when i say this) i don't think they are the holy grail of musicians (aka they are a little overrated... like nirvana, for instance). i still enjoy them, though, greatly! i've never heard of foreigner -- i'll have to look into them.
"i guess I'm a little full of myself when it comes to my singing ability." i'm the exact same way. xD
mmkay, novel of a comment is over. i enjoyed, so you'd best keep blogging! :D
I do agree that The Beatles are far overrated, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Their constant resurgence of popularity has kept them alive, and it will for many years to come. They may not be the holy grail, but they've come closer than anyone else. They had the ability to make music that could be so widely appealing decades after they were gone, and it takes something special to be able to do that. Their connection as a band was simply rubbish, especially in their later years though. Paul's ego has always got the best of him, John could never pass up a chance to argue a point, and George and Ringo never tried to have a dominant point in the band, thus putting them in the background most of the time. That's just not how a band should be.
ReplyDeleteI think most people should know something by Foreigner. Do "Hot Blooded", "Cold as Ice", "Head Games", or "I Want to Know What Love Is" sound familiar?
Also, you keep reading, I'll keep posting.
There's my even more novel-like comment. XD
