The Month of March

Hey! How about that sun that shines! Nonetheless, I'm thankful for that 19 to 20" of rain. The sun and all the green-ness is more of my style. I mowed me down some grass, washed a few cars, and caught a movie with no clouds in the sky and also (YES) a bright full moon hangin' above them Oregon Mountains! Sometimes I wish I'd do more than run a lot of miles and discover forestry. Sounds spendy! Right? So, mabye I'll take the scenic route to work.


Hope all is well with you! Where ever you are! P.s. What should I do on rainy days?

Practice of a Musician

Here's the delema: How much practice is enough? I practiced my guitar for ruffly 80 hours this year. That's about an 1hour a day average. My only goal is to learn. I don't want to waste away "noodling," or recording. I've been diving into the books of Ted Greene, William Leavitt's, and am trying to memorize the harmonic and melodic minor scales. . . I don't think that's enough! You serious musicians out there let me know what you think! Non-musicians tell me what you want to be coming out of my guitar in 5 to 10 years from now!

Big Screen

I always enjoy seeing a movie with my friends. The reason I like it so much is the jokes afterword. So, with my five friends I can say, missletoe and they will automatically know what I'm talking about. Another really important factor about going to the movies that I enjoy is the diffrent reactions my friends I have towards the film. However, hearing the entire group of people laugh at certain things is the best. Personality traits come out. Going to the movies really can put things in perspective on the morality level as well. I'm sure if you wanted to learn what kind of morality a person upholds you could take them to any kind of movie to find out.

United States

How can we be in Iraq and Afganastan fighting a "war" that is not our own? It doesn't make sense. It seems as if we are trying to fix so many other problems when we have our own. Debt. I've heard a roomer about two months ago that said: If every other country asked for the money that the US would owe, each American would owe about $32,000.00. Give me some feed back.

Finals

Why is it so damn crippling for 18 to (alive) ? to complete college homework? It seems like kids have the upper hand being disciplined by their parents. So crack open the juice box and study!

Classical Music

I learned today that in some piece improvosation was used. Especially in the Baroque period. 5 to 10 minute pieces. Also, that's kind of funny too. Why? Well, because those guys weren't supposed to noodle! Noodling is for 21st century guitar players. Anyway, Shred away!

$250,000

What would you do with it? I'm quiet sure I wouldn't invest it! 401 k plans are lookin on the darkside. So, the question is: If you were given $250,000.00 on January 1, 2009 what would you do with it? Here's what I would do with it: I would hire some random guy that lives in the woods to teach me his ways(namely, killing what you eat, starting fires with brush, and how to live in the woods). Then, after that price tag I'd proabably have $150,000 that I'd put in the bank to think on while I'm enjoying my new log cabin in a random specified location of my choice in wilderness land. . .
