Why?

Why do people like Drama and sob stories? Why do people crave to create their own fantasy world and force it upon others? So many people on Earth live in a fantasy world, whether that be a good thing or a bad thing. In my opinion, Republicans are living a fantasy world that they force upon everyone, while Democrats just have a fantasy world that they try and suppress when I know they live it. There’s kids at my high school that live in fantasy worlds. They each have their own grasp of reality, and sometimes that grasp is so totally off that they become a nuisance to others. The majority of these people that have fantasy worlds use these imaginative mindsets to create drama and annoying outcries of nonsense. The mosque issue? Just drama created by far right nutjobs that live in a perfect American fantasy world. No matter how large or small the drama is, it is most likely caused by someone living in a fantasy world.  Why do we do this? Why must we create our own reality to live by and sometimes force upon others? I will admit I have some sort of a fantasy view of things, but at least I realize it and am willing to admit to it.

Humans are strange and complex creatures.

On another note, I hate this thing thats going on where all these politicians are calling themselves and their supporters ‘Patriots’. These hypocrites aren’t patriots. Patriots support their country, no matter WHO runs it, which means they can’t go around calling their leaders ”muslim/communist terrorists”.Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin aren’t fucking patriots. Anyone who calls themselves ”A patriot” in such a grand and classy manner is not a patriot, only someone living their own fantasy world.

iPod, Album, and Summer

Before I begin the main points of this post I would like to point out that I have indeed deleted The Rubber Band “album” and “page”. This is because I plan to redo the album by fixing and adding over dubs to songs, and re-release it in a better, more compact form, with less songs (unneeded songs) and actual track listings. Now, on to the main point of the post 😛

My Mono Project is finally finished! Whenever I finish uploading the videos to Youtube, and finish making the necessary pages, I will post a pretty picture for you all to click that will direct you to the “Liner Notes and Album”, also if you havent checked out my other “album” The Rocky Mountain Orchestra, please do. 😀 Also, Apple has finally had an update on iTouches and iPhones! It’s awesome!!! You can read about it here:

I enjoy the background a lot! Its a great feature! My background is of a Shy Guy from Nintendo’s Mario Bros. field. 😛 The multitasking is cool, but I think I’ll hardly ever use it. They also included a better playlist view of every album, with info and album duration on the top with the album artwork 😀 Do you have an iTouch or iPhone? What do you think of the update? Please comment below your opinion!

Well, so far summer has been pretty boring for me. I have been busy with songs and cleaning, and trying to push myself to start running regularly 😆 (i slack off when non of my friends are here to run with me). I don’t have anywhere to swim 😦 I want to go swimming realllyyy bad, but don’t wanna go to the public pool (:sick:). I think we’re going to my dad’s friends house this 4th of july, and he has an awesome pool! So I can go swimming there. 😛 Speaking of July, my Birthday is in two weeks! 😀 I so far have 1 thing I want for my Birthday:

1. Beatles Mono Box.

Yeah, thats it. lol I really don’t want anything else. I don’t know if I will get it though, my mother refuses to get it, and I haven’t heard from my Father. So I hope they get it! D: It will be okay if they don’t, i suppose, if I get a lot of $$$ for my B-day (i got $165 last year, and am proud to say i blew it all within the month) I can buy it myself. I think my list will drop to nothing next year. I am starting to get where I just don’t want anything lol. I’ll buy something if I want it. 😀

I have gotten into two new albums lately! One is Are You Experienced? by The Jimi Hendrix Experience,  my favorite track is “Seventh Stone From The Sun” :D, and Electric Arguments by The Fireman (Paul McCartney and Youth!). Both are very Psychedelic and great! I am using Electric Arguments as an example for my future works! 😀 You should check those albums out!

So, go check out that “album” and I’ll be back with more later! 😀

Flying/In The Life

Here’s two brand new songs to show you whats coming up on my next “Album”! I have finally completed my Mono Project, and have made these two Stereo versions of two songs from the “Album”. I guess you could call them “singles” lol seeing as these versions won’t appear on the Mono Album. :p I chose these two because they are one of my best ones, and that they are both complete opposites.

The first one, “Flying”, was done completely  without my Synthesizer. The only Instruments on it are my Acoustic Guitar and Bass Guitar, with backtrackings of the Bass and some additions of Acoustic. The second is all synthesizer, with no outside instruments.  I am happy with the first one, but the second one I could have done better on. lol

There is a regular Mono version of “In The Life” on the upcoming “album”, but “Flying” has a completely different version in Mono, which you will soon find out about. 😉

Enjoy! 😀

It seems that youtube is Bi-Polar, and after uploading, decided to then ruin the quality of selected bits EVEN though I gave into it’s wishes of leaving hiss in! Youtube sucks.

Metroid and Creativity Boom!

Seeing as Summer is starting for me, and I live NO WHERE near any of my friends, or any town for that matter, I have had and will have a lot of time on my hands. I have so far used this time to create another album! Its only 12 tracks long, but it is the longest album I’ve ever made, and the most complex. It includes 3 mono tracks, and 9 other stereo songs, 1 stereo you’ve already heard, and 1 mono you have already heard, but their all in better quality! I have added a hiss track to make it less crappy, although I cannot guarantee that it will be perfect. Anyways, this album is 47:40 long, 10 minutes longer than my Grayscale album, although Grayscale is 2 tracks longer. Most of my newer tracks on the album are less complex stereo mixing wise, and this is due to the fact I am currently recording through a mono cord, and I have to do more work to mix the stereo, which I can’t be bothered to do 😆 So my more advanced ones are in Mono, but some of the stereo is really good too! This album is kinda like Sgt.Peppers, it has a fictional band, an orchestra i thought up to fit the picture I wasn’t willing to throw away. 😆 I think all of you will enjoy this album when i get it all set up on here. I hope. 😀 lol This is like the hey Jude of my works so far (although Hey Jude was a single, and not an album) but it’s a big advancement like Hey Jude, and its a more emotional album than any others I have made, so that makes it also like Hey Jude. :p

( 2:56- Missed a chord! 2:58- Oh, F***ing Hell! heh. I never hear that before until I was told about it 😆 they kept it in there ”for the lulz”(john’s idea))

Enough of my ramblings, here is something you all can understand better. As of late, I have been getting into the old 8-bit Metroid game. I have it for Gameboy Advanced, and have gotten as for as Mother Brain, but its very very hard to beat her. lol I enjoy that game, but it pisses me off a lot.  xP

We had a car wash today for XC (cross country) and I got sunburned on my feet. Strange. lol
