I Could Be Mean...I Could Be Angry...

Early post tonight...just wanted to mention how amazing it is that some cancelled plans I hadn't even remembered until this afternoon and a little time around my family can put me in an absolutely terrible mood.

Nothing else to mention though...today was exactly how I thought it would. See y'all late tomorrow night or Friday morning.

And The Bass Keep Runnin' Runnin', And Runnin' Runnin', And Runnin' Runnin'...

Hola!

Another busy day for me yesterday...I got very little sleep before I had to get up for my doctor's appointment which turned out to be a waste of my time. I pretty much went in there, got my blood pressure taken, was told all my bloodwork from last time looked good and I was outta there within about 20 minutes. Ah well...what can ya do? Could've been much worse, I guess...coulda told me I was pregnant or something. :D

Anyway...shortly after that, I met up with some buddies of mine and we headed up to another friend's house for a little "band practice." Surprisingly, since I've owned my bass for approximately 3 years and only started playing it recently, I'm gettin' pretty decent. We've got a couple songs down well enough to play full speed and, compared to the actual song, we don't sound half bad! Maybe there's hope for my guitar-playing skills after all...

I'm hoping today is fairly relaxing...I'm planning on working out and doing a lot of sitting around. If this is the case, you probably won't hear from me until after tomorrow...if something comes up (as life tends to do to me), I'll be sure to let all of you in on the incredibly, amazingly juicy* details!

*"incredibly, amazingly juicy" details are likely to include "Went to ____'s house. Played video games. Had a good dinner. Went to bed much later than planned."

Not much else to report...considering I called the last 2 days "busy," it's not so much to write about as a few things that took up a large part of my day.

Happy Hump Day!

The Way It Was...

Hey everyone!

Today was fairly interesting...went ice skating/played ice hockey for the first time in my life!  Surprisingly, it wasn't as horrible as it always seems to be in movies....constant falling down and blisters the size of an orange by the end of the day.  I do have one decent-sized blister, but I rarely fell and, though I'm slow and not much good with a hockey stick, I think I did alright for my first time!  Makes me wonder what other things on TV seem really difficult but aren't....hmmm....

Also today, played a little bass for the first time in months, and, in another first for me, first time actually playing with other people and a song! (not counting GuitarPro).  Worked a little on Ten Ton Brick (Hurt), but the majority of the time we watched Ryan attempt to tune his guitar and then worked out a bit of Remedy (Seether). Doin' the same thing tomorrow, and it will probably be similar...heading up to David's house so we can put the songs through a stereo and add David on drums and Taylor on vocals...get a real setup goin'.

On a less fun note...doctor appointment tomorrow morning.  Which probably means I should get headin' to bed...I feel it's going to be rather difficult getting up tomorrow after today's adventures!

Hope y'all had a great day!
