I learnt an important thing on the weekend. Fish don't like ham or chicken! Picky bastards! I could almost see them sticking their middle fins up at me. Next time, I'm sticking to old faithful.... prawns. They never fail me!
Next time fishy's.... NEXT TIME! *raises fist in the air*
I just recieved my new chocolate moulds! Oooh Yeah! I'm gonna be making some super dooper chockies sometime this week. :)
I'm going to my girlfriends cousins wedding on the weekend. I was going to wear a suit. We found out yesterday that it's at a beach. I think I need suit thongs! ;)
Yep.. I managed to start recording again last night. What I ended up with surprised me a little.
Let me explain. The recording process or at least that of my own material tends to be quite a subconcious venture for me. I never really know what I am writing/recording at the begging and am usually as surprised by the results at the end as anyone else. Music seems to be my way of letting myself know how I am feeling or what I am thinking at a certain point in time. Tho I do have the ability to transport myself back to darker times in order to channel a certain style or emotion.
anywho... last nights recording session brought out a little reggae tune. I'm guessing this is me telling me that I am very relaxed. Cool :)
I'm finally starting to enjoy music again. I tend to work better in the studio enviroment alone.
Wednesday nights have been officially dedicated to my musical endevours. I used to go to swing dancing on Wednesdays but I think I'd much rather record or mix songs. I like dancing but my passion is for music.
I've started trying to record again the way that I used to which was basically my getting on the drums and beating out some imaginary tune in my head, then recording the rest of the music on top of it followed by some random lyrical content and VIOLA! a song.
I've found it a bit difficult to do this lately. It's quite bizzare how hard it can be to be creative when I feel great. I will push on tho. I have still have a few ideas up my sleeve that I am wanting to get down.
I kind of miss being in a band. I don't miss the lugging around of heavy gear nor the internal bitching but I do miss playing with other musicians. We'll see what the future holds.
Looks like I will be going fishing again on the weekend... YAY! :D I want to catch something eatable tho I really suck at the killing it bit. Last time I cut th head off a fish was 7 years ago and that took me 2 hours cause I couldn't do it with those eyes looking at me... poor fishy... tasted bloody great tho! :)
Also, I'm suddenly obsessed with making chocolate! and I don't mean in the pants either! :P
On the weekend I went on an Easter egg mould hunt and ended up buying shitloads of moulds tho none of them Easter egg ones. I just bought a shitload more moulds online tho this time Easter egg ones. My plan is to make lost of yummy chocolates for my family at Easter rather than buy the pre-made crap ones. Then I have to build a massive chocolate factory that employs only midgets that can sing and dance! I WILL OWN THE WORLD!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
2 more days til my 2 weeks off... oh yeah!.. I can not wait!
I plan on doing a lot of reading up on audio engineering (have accumulated a stack of material that I have little to no time currently to get through) plus spending a good heap of time with my girl (she is on 2 weeks of uni holidays). I believe a zoo trip is on our list of "to do".
I'm buying more recording gear so that I can do some home demos. I find it easier to write music this way.
