I just watched Final Destination. It was incredibly entertaining, I enjoyed it! And damn it, Devon Sawa is a competent actor. Never thought I'd be saying that. But there's a good lesson to be learned from it. We are going to die someday. Today, tomorrow, a few days, a few years. It's going to happen. So you should try to do something with your life, and make it worthwhile, cause you don't know when it's going to hit you. I'm ok with my mortality, once you accept it, it's ok because you feel a good degree better. So do something! Do something fun. Do something you've always wanted to do.
I hope I go out nicely. But who knows, it's not for us to decide!
Have a nice day folks!

Some People I Know Think That I'm Rude And Abusive, I Think They Can Kiss My Ass
I have been absolutely obsessed with Daughtry's It's Not Over. I think it's the perfect blue print for a rock song by numbers. 3 Chord chorus progression, alternating riffs for verse, soaring vocals, the only let down is the solo. I learned the whole thing, I just had to, I really like it! I know it's half a step down, but with the exception of some of the open notes, I can play it damn it and sounds right (cause I play in standard)!
I have been incredibly slack and stressed yet busy at the same (good sense I Make yes).
I have to reiterate how crappy and incompetent my university is. They love putting students in catch 22 situations with no help.
Case in point? With Honours currently I have to do a proposal for my paper. Easy? You'd think so. Then I keep getting feedback saying it's too general, and that I have to narrow it down to chapters and how I'll conduct my argument. Well that would be easy, if I HAD A BLOODY TOPIC AND THEY TOLD ME HOW TO NARROW IT DOWN! On top of that, how am I meant to write about chapters I have not written or planned out, cause my proposal isn't done? It makes no sense and once again goes to show how fucking stupid they are. The thesis is due in week 13. Next week is week 5. It is meant to be 6-8 thousand words. I have done zero. Because this fucking proposal thing is taking so long to sort out.
I am really on edge about this, and frankly I'm starting to not care. Which is not good, because I am unable to withdraw, because I'm worried my future employment or pay is contingent on my Honours, and if I withdraw this late (even through no fault of my own), I will incur a HECS penalty. Thank you Government, for your blatant stupidity and lack of reasoning in policy for having the HECS cutoff date so early in the semester, and with no possible recourse for grievances. I may have to resort to chucking a psycho and yelling at people towards the end of semester.
On top of that, I have an assignment given out next week, hooray for crapness! It's for a subject I'm not really understanding, or maybe I'm overthinking it and it's incredibly easy.
Ahhh that's it for tonight folks! Have a nice day.

I've Got A Feeling, I'm Not The Only One
Ever had one of those days where you stay in bed and you feel everything is going grand. Then no sooner do you get out of bed and it all goes downhill fast? Today was one of those days.
I hate my university. The admin, the teachers, everything about it is just awful. They can't do anything right really!
Been watching a lot of pay tv lately. It's quite good. I like educational stuff. Always learning something new.
Sometimes you just can't be tere for people, and it's not good.
My thoughts are becoming fragmented. My playing is getting better and better. Is that good? Are they linked? Who knows.
Some surprises can be shocking.
Have a nice day folks!

Things Get So Crazy
Indeed they do. Been slack in my hols. Just playing games and practicing guitar regularly! I feel good. Almost too slack, nope not almost, definitely true.
Why is Daniela on BB so hot? It's ridiculous.
I'm sick with some sort of shite infection that I'm taking meds for which don't seem to be working. What happens when you drop dead before you finish your degree? Or right after you graduate? I hope they drop your Higher Education Contribution Scheme Debt! I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't.
The other has been sorting his stuff out which is good, and is working on new stuff, which shall be good to hear. I've been working hard on melody. Cause that's where it's at.
But don't think I've forgotten any lightning fast scalar runs when I need them!
This should be a quick one I feel tired. Stay safe people. I really should start keeping blognotes again! I'm sure I've had stuff to talk about but now it all just escapes me.

Struggling Here
I have got the flu! Hooray, sick in the holidays, always the best way to go I say. I really love how randomly generated words in spam e-mail is. They tell the most interesting stories. My eyes are burning, my throat hurts, and I have an occasional chesty dry cough, boo hoo.
My guitaring is freakish now. For some reason right after I've cut my nails I've just been picking up all these songs I didn't know instantly. I don't know when my music retention became so good, considering my ears and general memory are pretty poor.
I was at the mall yesterday and I held a second hand bass, and despite the weight which I'm not used to, it's just so much damn fun to play. I would really like to play one, but I don't know if I have the patience to actually learn it properly, cause I would want to play it damn well straight away.
Well the reason I couldn't contact the other was because he had already gone overseas! Haha but I'll see him when he gets back, it's all good.
I think I'll spend tomorrow doing a bit of my honours proposal and just some general resting up. That's it for today folks.

It's A Far Cry From The World...
In one of those moods. One of those meh moods. And I hate those moods, I hate the word meh, and I hate people that use that word. It provokes an automatic punch in the face reaction.
I think I need to do something. What? I don't know. I've gone to standard tuning from half step, so I can continue with my chord vocabulary. I'm seeing La Femme Anomaly this Friday, which should be good, cause I don't even remember the last time I saw her.
Weird things going on as always. So disjointed. I'm not making any sense. Where is the other?? He hasn't been online in a month. I suppose I'll ring him and see what he's up to so we can do something. I'm out.
Damn I thought I had good stuff to say now I'm all out of ideas. So much for my "reliable" memory! Have a nice day folks!
