SUNDAY NIGHT

9:36 PM
Hey, let’s make a blog post.

Just hanging out. In my car.

Smoking.

A cigar haha.

Making things rhyme.

Yeah, I think this is the definitely the last weekend that I’m going. To just to drink. Yeah, like

I’m not doing it this week.

I haven’t bought any cigarettes.

Been really good. I’ve only had 1 cigar today. I’m finishing it off.

I guess I’m still kind of wound up. I don’t know. I took a nap earlier.

Sometimes I really miss my mom and I feel really bad that.

About it all. Yeah, about all of it.

I can’t I can’t put into words how hard it was to deal with her the last couple years. But I wasn’t.

Equipped. I don’t know. I figured my sister could take better care of her than I could. And She couldn’t.

Yeah. I don’t know, she’s all

Married again, I noticed

But I talked to my son earlier and that was cool. He found some Pokemon cards. He wanted to buy and sell for tens of thousands of dollars and I’m like, Well, that’s a pretty good idea. I don’t really have the money to buy the cards though that you want to sell right now, but maybe later on.

Yep.

You know, I’ll feel all out of place and

Alone and stuff, but it’s like, I’m not really, you know.

I just

I’ve Got Friends.

I’ve got 2 kids the best people ever made.

I just miss them all the time.

I talk about that all the time, too.

Haha. Yeah.

Oh, it’s the weekend’s already over.

The Twin Flame chick. Finally got out of my brains.

Yeah.

I guess, I feel like my mom deserved better. She really did.

You know. My mom had a really crazy Life. And just It’s like I don’t understand for all the good stuff. Like, why do things have to be shitty like want to like

Like,

Juan God damn it.

No, it’s set to United States English. Yeah, I don’t, I don’t know why like, you know, Things have to be stupid. With people in any capacity, I don’t understand.

It’s just

Like you think 1 thing and then you find out later that it’s not what it is. It’s something else. Like one example of that is stuff you learn in School. Right?

People are different people to other people to different people.

You know, this person could be somebody totally different to you and be You know, 1 way.

I think, I mean, I meant to reverse that a person could be. 1 way to you and a totally different person to everybody else or 3 or 4 other different people or depending on, you know, I know that’s normal. Yeah though.

For people to be different. You have different personalities depending on who You’re around.

I guess like, with my roommates, you know,

I like them all, you know, pretty much for the most part, but I do kind of maintain a polite distance

But I do that with co-workers, too. I do that with everybody except my kids and my friends like my friends. You know. When’s the last time I made a new friend?

I guess the closest thing to like a new friend that I’ve made. In the last year or so would probably have to be um,

Well, like a friend like Define a friend you know like somebody would go hang out with

And just be like, You know.

Gosh, it’s been been a while since.

I’ve I need to get out more. I think sometimes I, I feel that way, of course. I, you know, it’s hard to do when you don’t have a car. Yeah.

I guess I’ve just been so wrapped up in my own stupid bulshit too.

And tired, lots of being tired.

I made some cool like acquaintances, like last year, getting out and playing the open mic nights.

Yeah but that you know that’s a whole another like drama scene too. Oh my gosh.

Anytime I, um, like

Walk in on a conversation or something, where people are talking shit about somebody else.

You know, it’s like

Um, Somebody who I don’t know. Like how do I explain that?

It just it kind of makes me not trust them. Yeah it’s like well they’re just going to talk about shit about me too. And they do. Yeah.

And I don’t really do stuff like that. I’m like, well, you know, nobody’s perfect.

Oh my face. Yeah, my eyeballs. This vehicle just Turned. And headlights, right in my eyes.

Oh, just roll the windows up.

No 2. No, 2 connected.

Oh, The voice. Yeah, from the um, Bluetooth

Transmitter thing.

What a neat little contraption. This car has a pretty good stereo in it.

Um,

Like the speakers and stuff. Oh yeah.

I guess I have kind of hit like a

Like a dry spell with uh, that recording with the concept album right now.

Have I though? Yeah, I did actually do a bunch of shit Friday night after work.

I guess because I haven’t done a lot. Yesterday or today with it, you know, I just

Not being able to do the vocals here at the house. You know, conveniently right now um,

I guess I am kind of at like a

Stopping point. With it.

Let’s see. I have

My gosh, about 4 4 or 5 more songs to track though.

But I really want to finish what I have already.

Probably. You know, I get this car going and everything next weekend. I’ll probably go to the storage unit. And fuck with it.

Sometimes I forget I have a storage unit and you know, except when It’s time to pay, you know the Storage unit place.

I ate some pickled okra. Yeah, that was pretty good. I like pickled okra a lot.

Oh, let’s just go back in the house.

Oh shit.

Almost.

Having a hard time.

Getting out of the car. Just because I’m right next to the curb

Hey, baby kitty.

Oh man.

Laying down.

I can’t do it all the time, but

Sometimes it’s really nice. I’m actually starting to get sleepy now.

I think I’ve said this before and it’s 1 reason why I enjoy making blog posts so much. It’s because, um,

I’m talking to the whole universe. At least that’s how it feels and people read it. It’s really funny. I got quite a few hits today.

A whole bunch of likes.

That made me happy.

Yeah.

I talked about a lot of crazy shit this weekend, especially today.

But yeah, I think, um,

Hopefully in the next month or so I can get some real studio monitors and that’s what I’m going to.

Yeah. Um,

Really work on, you know, mixing down what I’ve been recording and

Probably making a YouTube channel for it.

And there’s a lot of songs. That um, there’s my co-worker songs. Yeah, that’s going to get that gets to be recorded next and then um,

There’s another concept album.

Uh, songs. I came up with I think around 2020.

Yeah, 2019.

Stuff. When I lived in The Farmhouse just some of the craziest shit, ever popped in my head.

And when I worked at the first car factory, Yeah, it’s some really crazy crazy stuff.

I don’t know.

My roommate who takes me back and forth to work said, my haircut looks nice.

But I think it looks kind of silly. Yeah. But I’m used to seeing myself with like longer hair and a big beard. I didn’t.

Almost forgot what my face looked like, haha.

What about like?

I want to buy, I want to purchase like a

Like a fender strata Caster, I don’t know. Strata Caster offender. Let’s try to okay caster.

Are you not really going to pick that up? A fender strata caster. I guess, so if you want.

I mean I guess if you read it, that’s what it says. What about a Telecaster? Yeah, it picks that up. I like telecasters too, but

A lot of my friends, they like, Like Gibson Les Pauls or SGS, or

Uh,

I guess what you would call like fancier guitar hers, like Rick and buckers, and shit. Rick and bocker guitars. Oh my God, it’s like this app’s. Never heard of guitar manufacturers.

Some of them but I’m just like, I don’t know. I like Fender strata casters.

That’s, My favorite type of guitar. Pretty all-purpose. You know you can get a Chunky sound out of it and get a high crazy sound out of it.

Pretty versatile. You know, all-purpose guitar.

And they play So Nice. Like The Squire, I have. Well it’s my ex-wife’s from the 90s and you know, it plays, okay? It’s not a bad guitar.

I thought about, uh,

Getting me a fender.

Strata Caster on how many times I’m gonna say that in this post and, uh, giving You know, my ex-wife’s guitar to my son because he was wanting an electric guitar.

And he’ll need an amp. And he’ll need.

A cool.

Effects processor.

Also have to get a something or another, for my daughter for her birthday that I Just have missed so much crap. Not just this year, but last year

Anyways. Yeah.

Jeez.

I could look around.

This is a It’s just a strata Caster. How much does 1 go for typically these days?

Oh my God. This dude, I was where I got the GIFs from.

Uh, the last few, you know, the Mega Man ones were from this guy’s uh, play through. Thing of Mega Man 2.

And uh,

For some reason, he thought, you know, The best weapon to use against uh, Woodman.

Was the was the heat man’s weapon, but it’s not. It’s the fucking it’s metal man’s weapon. It’s like the best all. Around, you know, thing in that game, I don’t know. I couldn’t find like any direct thing like email or anything to tell that guy.

But he posted that like 7 years ago.

That was the only problem I saw was it.

I was like you dumbass, you don’t fight wood man, with heat man’s shit he was like, oh and he can just absorb so many of these atomic heat missiles or whatever, it’s like wrong weapon.

Yeah.

Anyways, that was the open browser on my phone. Uh oh.

Sister.

Just thinking about me. She said, okay.

Okay.

Let’s see. I messaged her Saturday morning. Yeah. Now she’s just finally messaging me back.

Minimal, um, I don’t know.

Okay, a standard strats about 600 dollars.

Aquamarine colored.

Like that.

I’m just flipping through Sweet Water.

I ordered a lot of stuff from Sweetwater.

Perfectly, lovely fresh.

Uh, Hahaha

Standard pleck Pro.

Yeah, but without the C, I don’t know.

It’s all shit. I can do myself.

Scanning my fretboard onto the machine and recording measurements. Yeah, I don’t know. I bought some.

I bought a An epiphone uh, Thunderbird Bass. Shit, 10 years ago who Maybe

10:03 PM
Oh no, it was longer ago than that. It was like 2012.

And it was like, when I got it shipped. Um, played it? I mean, you know, it was like, $300, But it sounded great. But it played like shit and I had to fuck with it a lot to get the neck. I don’t know, whatever in shipping, but it’s like, you know, I’m never going to order another instrument. Without playing it first.

Sweetwater used to have this thing where I could uh like order something and make 3 payments.

I’ve ordered gosh I bet I’ve ordered 5,000 dollars worth of shit from Sweetwater. Back in the day, you know, I don’t have hardly any of it anymore. I gave a lot of stuff away.

And just left stuff at people’s houses or people I was playing with. I’m just like I’m just going to leave all this shit here.

I guess because I figured they’d use it. And uh, yeah.

Okay, here it goes. It’s a hundred dollars a month for 6 months.

Yeah, that’ll probably require a credit check.

Uh, I wonder if Forest Powell is still. Working here. He was my sales dude.

Back in the day, I haven’t ordered anything from Sweetwater. I guess the bass is the last thing I ordered

Here’s a squire, it’s $219.

Here’s a professional.

Strata Castor and it’s damn near $1600.

It comes with.

What the fuck is that?

Guitar plus something. I can’t make out what it is and then some shit and bottles.

Yeah, better come with a damn hard case. I’m just looking. Yep I’m just blabbering and looking at stuff. Let’s look at studio monitors.

I could talk to my friend Justin about this stuff cuz he’s a lot more into gear than I am. I’ve never really been a gear person. It’s like hey what’s this? What’s it do? Hey, this sounds cool. I’m going to get it, you know.

I am the

Making up songs person.

Yeah, it’s it’s hard for me to do like

Anything except that? Yeah, except playing the instrument itself and making up the songs.

Yeah, everything else is just like horror. Hard for me. Yeah. Haha

Performance, you know.

Songwriting all that shit. That’s That’s what I do, but Everything else. I’m just

It’s the my whole life is like that. Actually

Practical. I don’t have a lot of practical.

Sense. I’ll have I don’t have any common sense. Like a normal person. Okay, studio monitors. This blog is actually

Pretty good evidence of that.

Ooh do I want active monitors? I mean, I know what that is. That’s just 1 monitor. There’s a pair of monitors.

Shit, 400 dollars.

What’s the Frequency response? I guess I do know like, you know, some stuff haha.

I don’t know what’s good nowadays.

I’ve been out of the loop for a long, long time.

Oh, they do. Yep.

I’ll totally order like studio monitors.

Online. Oh, let’s check my purse. Just seeing power.

Let’s see if I qualify.

You know what? I’m not going to do that right now.

What was my damn credit score? Let’s see.

Same.

The same for a month or so.

Let’s get some pretty good reviews.

36 month, finance and available for 349 fucking set of Studio speakers. I don’t know.

I could though how I paid my laptop off in 2 years.

Damn, there’s some really big things.

Wow.

These are 2000.

Here’s some.

Little baby ones.

For 109 dollars.

3.5 inch.

Power, what is that? That’s little

Yeah.

Wonder how good they work.

Let’s see the reviews.

40 reviews.

Terrible quality. They Rattle and crack any time a middle, C is played. It’s really ridiculous.

Yeah, I’m not going to go the cheaper route with monitors.

I hate to say but it’s probably something like this. It’s about a thousand bucks, that’s what I really need. I need a subwoofer, too.

Well, that’s pretty cool that. Might be what I end up getting. But that’s like, fucking

4 or 5 pay checks away hahaha.

I don’t know, I guess I could. Uh,

Well, what the hell am I doing? Yeah, I can totally keep that up here because I edit

Uh,

Yeah, edit it on this other phone that I’m looking at the stuff from

Just being a stupid asshole, I guess.

A screenshot the fucking guitar. I saw that look cool too.

Cheap ones.

But yeah, I’m going to buy a guitar. I’m probably not going to buy a guitar online. I’m going to have to go. I’ll probably go to the Fret shop here in Huntsville and fuck with it. See what they have in electric guitars.

That’s um, you know, something I’m going to do

Later.

Like a lot later.

See what else can I say? I don’t know.

I don’t know.

Y’all. I’m that’s what I’m yawn.

Yawn yawn, yawn yawn, yawn yawn. Sleepy. Yay.

Thank you. Please.
