| yeah..so on Saturday (the 4th) i got in a car accident..and a really weak one at that. I just went off the road into a ditch because i was looking down at the floor. That wouldn't have been so bad but i slammed into this concrete culvert (those are the tube things that let the water from the ditch run under your driveway) and really really fucked the whole tire/wheel assembly on the front left portion of my car. But its cool..it was too expensive too fix so my dad and i started looking around for another car. he told me that he had seen another tempo on pine island for sale for 600 dollars, so he went and talked to the guy and it turns out that its actually his daughters and its been sitting there forever and if the didn't sell it in a week they were going to have it towed..and since he wanted it gone so bad he sold it to my dad for 100 bucks..500 fucking dollars cheaper for all of you that can't do elementary math (like me..i had to bust out my calculator for that one), so yeah, it was a good deal. And not only that, if we don't get rid of my other car (also a tempo, just three years older) we will have a plethora of free parts in case anything else goes wrong with the one we just bought. I'm going to miss the Blue Racer though..not that anything memroble (spelling?) ever happened in it..although there are those knuckle shaped dents in the hood from where i punched it one night when my mind was all over the place..yeah..i guess thats the only significant memory i have in that car, but im still going to miss it just because it was my first car. Its been replaced though, this new one my dad bought is red so its now known as "The Big Red Rocket of Love"..thats a song by The Reverend Horton Heat, download it. Thats sarcasm for you..its a '93 two door tempo so its not very big, and its sure as hell not a rocket..i remember Ryan saying something to the efftect of "We got it up to 93 and half mph..going downhill..with a chasing wind." about his brothers tempo..good times. Another good thing about it is that i don't have to throw away that 18 fucking dollar wiring harness i bought so that i could hook my cd deck in it...yeah, Ford cars have these special plugs for the radio and shit so you need to buy this adapter..they had them at Meijers for 6 dollars, but they didn't have any that would fit my car so we had to go to Circuit City and bend over and take it so that i could have a cd player. Anyways. I put my deck in the new car about an hour ago...it took me awhile to get it out of the blue racer because even though Chuck told me what to do, i really had no idea what i was doing..but other than that it went perfect. Even though Chuck and I have had close to zero exposure to the Cedar Springs music scene- (note the extreme sracasm..if you were to divide the majority of people in Cedar Springs by what they listen to you would end up with two catagories: white trash rednecks that listen to either B-93 or 101.3 The Fox (it rocks), and white trash rednecks who don't know they are rednecks that don't know they are white trash rednecks and instead think they are African American urbanites..they listen to 104.5 or 1680 am)- and we also have yet to release any recorded material, though that will soon change as we plan on recording next sunday in his parents living room..we'll take the songs we recorded, burn them onto a cd, and hand them out to anyone and everyone for free. Anyways, back to the point. Even though no one knows about us i have decided on doing a "solo project" already. I'm doing a solo acoustic thing..I've got 4 and 1/16th songs already (the 1/16th of a song is incomplete obviously..i don't know how accurate that fraction is though)..I've been practicing them into the ground seeing as Charlie doesn't live up here so we only practice on weekends and i usually have nothing to do during the days after school. I plan on writing 12-13 songs and maybe do a cover or two.. (i think i've decided on Ben Kweller's version of My Drug Buddy, originally by the Lemonheads..and Nirvana's version of Where Did You Sleep Last Night, originally by Leadbelly)..and record them onto my computer because i have a pretty nice microphone that i never use as far as computer microphones are concerned (it set me back 50 bucks)..yeah..so I'll record them and burn them onto some cd's for anyone that wants them..and since The Bean closed i really don't have any place to preform, so if you know of any coffee shops or places like that that would let me play, leave a comment about it and i'll look into it. Well, thats enough abbling on..im really speeding right now because i took 100mg of Adderall today..which is twice what i normally take..so exceuse me if i rambled on too much. |
