:: Music: Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone
All together now, I wan't you to scream while reading this:
"HOW DOES IT FEEL!?"
Good...Dylan was amazing, best concert I've been to. Of course you can't sing along to Dylan, if any of you listen to him you will know why, but I did anyhow. Opened with Maggie's Farm, closed with Like a Rolling Stone and All Along the Watchtower. I was at the front the entire time, pressed against the fence. I'm hurting all over from jumping and getting jumped on.
String gauge change time:
10/46 to 11/50!!! I love it! I'm almost to 13's...hey SRV played on 13's. That'll take AT LEAST a year though. They sounds much better, especially in the death metal sector. But seriously, they sound much better.

Today was a sort of blur, I don't really remember anything. I got home and it was raining so I took up the guitar instead of playing hockey, played for about 2:30. At first i realized i dont play lead well without any backing. Turned on some bob marley: realized i don't play great lead without backing. Conclusion: I play the best when playing with other people. Me and mark could be in a damn band if he wasn't already in one, and he can play adult venues and I can't. I also like playing with my cousin Danie: excellent drummer, she lives in Naples though. I want to be in a band! Even if it's not really my exact style, at this point it doesn;t matter. I just lvoe playing with others, and i think that's what makes me play better. I'm gonna listen to some more Marley before hockey starts.....exodus, movement of jah people....

:: Music: Van Halen - Jamie's Cryin'
I'm so excited! Rush DVD is coming out!! It's gonna be the entire Rio show, 28 songs on 2 cds...I can't wait. It's now my number one thing i want for my birthday! Also I've been hearing that Rush might be touring late this year or next year. This is so great. I wish other old bands like van halen could be like rush, neil pearts wife and daughter died and they started playing again 6 years later. Eddie Van Halen and david lee roth are mad at eachother so they don't play at all for over 15 years. Anyhow, I now want that DVD so badly, it looks like its gonna be very cool, hopefully they have the comedy routines on there, and not just songs. Alex Lifeson talking about flying snakes and making fun of people driving with their windows down: made the show even greater. My right knee hurts after practicing hockey for a while, and it sucks because I thought 6 months of not playing hockey would take care of that. Oh well, i can live with the pain as long as it doesn't get much worse...

:: Music: white stripes - some song they are playing on Conan
Man do I ever hate crappy guitarists who somehow got people to think that they are any good. I was watching Conan and the white stripes started playing, and there was this neat little bass riff but then it started sounding out of tune, i looked at the tv and he was "trying" to use a slide to play the riff but he jsut sucked at it so much. Then he was trying to play it an octave up with the slide and it just sounded terrible and out of tune. It made me realize that in only one band has slide ever been used successfully...EVER, and that is the Allman Brothers. Even Jimmy Page never did anything great with his slide. Duane Allman would punch this guy on the white stripes if he was alive today. Even stupider is they have some big black guy following them around just standing...strange that a band is so terrible that they need gimmicks to appear talented. I have jsut recently become interested in slide guitar (past 3-4months) and i still cant master a basic slide rhythm, and have only ever written 1 song with any slide parts in them (out of 13 songs ive written). But like visual gimmicks, i guess new bands have to use slida as a gimmick too, making alot of people see it as not an instrument but as a novelty. Sometimes i wish i didnt know so much about guitar and its history...it makes me yearn for at least one good gutiarist in a band of today, the 70's had so many: what went wrong in the 80's and 90's?

:: Mood: tired
I'm kinda tired, not really but i dont have any other mood...Went to see head of state (because chris rock was in it), which was really funny. In fact, the movie was so good i had to bust a cap in it, lol. Went to Bru's room, Barnes & Noble to see Dave, and came home. Now I'm bored cause I'm all by myself, lol. I'll be up all night listening to Van Halen cause that's the cool thing to do.
I really wish I was Joe Perry...being me is so boring. I'll never be as good at guitar or as cool as he is.

:: Mood: bored
So I came to Orlando today to visit my cousin at UCF which was alot of fun. Now I'm in Lakeland actually staying at my step-grandparents' house which is alsoo fun cause theyre really cool. Went to a deli 'eatery' earleir that was really good, the second that i know of around here....S. Fla doesn't have any places like that, it needs some. Tomorrow I'm going to Tampa and then back here. Saturday I'm coming home.
Just like to point out that I've been quieter than usual, I've been getting the feeling that I've been bothering people online more than having conversations so I've kinda tried not to IM people as much.
This summer looks like its gonna be cool, might be going to the keys for a week with some family and their friends. I wanna go to Daytona one week but I don't think I'll be able to, cause I'm probably the only one who wants to go.
What's the worst thing that someone could ask you? What's the worst thing you have ever been asked by someone and who was it? (out of a little book i have at home)

Life sucks...so does cujo. Out the window goes trying to watch hockey and be happy until June. And right before vacation. I loved Hasek and what the management did to get him a stanley cup before he retired but they don't need to do it with every washed up goalie in the league. Legace showed promise but do they pay any attention...no, because people know Curtis Joseph's name. Fedorov, Izerman, Shanahan, Chelios: They don't deserve to be on a team that does this to their loyal players. They played amazing, but it all comes down to the bottom line that Curtis Joseph is going to retire without a stanley cup because of HIS OWN faults. Being a goalie I always get mad at people who place all the blame on the goalie, but cujo: you suck, please go away.

I haven't played hockey in a while, but tonight I'm going all out. I'm gonna skate until i literally cant anymore. I need to see how long I can last cause ice hockey is coming and I want to be able to play like I could before. So starting next week i'm gonna try to do 2-3 hours of skating every day after school. If anyone wants to come and just shoot pucks at me I'd love it, haha, my Dad aint the best shooter in town.

:: Music: georgia satellites - keep your hands to yourself
Ok, time to calm down for a bit and take a harsh reality check: The Wild lost to the Avalanche. Bad! The blues are beating the canucks 2-0. Bad! senators and islanders, as well as leafs (yes in canada they name their team leafs not leaves) and flyers are tied, so go Toronto Maple Leafs, and NY Ilslanders! Oh yea, wings at 10:30....Man, I really wish more people I know cared about hockey, or at least would pretend they do to humor me or something
