Not another one?
Why, yes!
I had to.
I have to see if my guitars still know who their boss is.
Even though it turns out that it’s not me.
But no matter.
I have conjured enough time, effort and courage
to make this one.
It’s one of my favourite U2 songs.
With or Without You.
All instruments by me, as you will see.
:Also-
Does anybody know a good Video editing software for Windows?
This Live Movie maker is driving me nuts.
I am forced to edit in both XP and Win7.
Dreams do come true.
Yes.
You see it in movies.
You hear it in songs.
You might have known some people who are lucky enough to have theirs fulfilled.
But what they don’t really tell you,
is that Nightmares do too.
And when they do,
they really hurt.
This Thanksgiving,
I am grateful for the simple things.
Like the Power of the “E chord.”
I like that chord.
I also am thankful for The “G” chord and “C.”
They blend very well together.
I am not too sure about the “A.”
I don’t think it likes me that much.
Maybe “A minor.”
I like the sad, haunting sound it makes.
Oh well.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
The question of continuing the maintenance of this site
has been put on the table again.
I don’t know if I should continue doing this.
I really don’t feel like it anymore, sometimes.
I go through this more often than before.
If not for my twitter updates, there wouldn’t be much posted here.
Even the music is starting to betray my inspirations.
I don’t know.
We’ll see.
I wake up free because of them.
Thank you to all who served.
We are eternally grateful.
Happy Remembrance / Veterans Day.
Dad passed away 3 years ago today.
Sometimes I still wonder
what he would say to me
if I tell him my worries.
I miss you, Dad.
Today, my kid asked me this question.
“Dad, why did you choose to have your job on computers?”
I answered, “Because I like it and it’s a good job.”
“Okay.” He replied.
“If you weren’t working with computers, what would you have been doing instead?”
“Well,” I paused.
“I always wanted to be a musician.”
“A Rock Star?” He beamed at me.
“Yeah! A Rock Star.” I answered as I laugh.
“Awesome!” He smiled.
“So, if you weren’t a Rock Star, what would you have been?”
I stopped and thought for a moment.
And I took another moment.
And another.
I actually have no answer.
I couldn’t think of anything else that I’d be doing.
I wanted to be a Musician.
A “Rock Star” if you please.
It’s all I ever wanted.
Not much of the glamour or the lifestyle.
Just the Music.
Me and Music.
I believe in the love for it.
The passion you feel when you hear it.
The inspirations that comes when you play it.
The beauty that makes you feel when you’re in tune with it.
As my son looks at me, waiting for an answer,
I said, “I think that’s it. I don’t want to be anything else.”
He continues on playing with his stuff.
I think he got his answer.
It may not make much sense to him right now,
but when the time comes,
I am sure that one advice I’ll be giving him
when he thinks of what he wants to be,
is to find his passion.
Find his dream.
Find his Love.
And not just follow it.
Not just to chase it.
But to Grab it by its face and own it.
By then, he may not have everything,
but at least he has his happiness.
You have to understand..
Just because everybody likes you
Doesn’t make you better than me.
Just because you are friends with the boss
Doesn’t mean you are the boss.
Just because you drive a fancy car
Doesn’t make you a better driver.
Just because your house is beautiful
Doesn’t mean it will be filled with love.
Just because you can go to a lot of places
Doesn’t make you a traveler.
Just because you look nice
Doesn’t mean you are clean.
Just because you have the perfect girl
Doesn’t mean she loves you.
Just because you have nice things
Doesn’t mean you are rich.
Just because you’re OK,
Doesn’t mean you’re not hurting.
Just because you are devout
Doesn’t make you holy.
Just because you’re never alone
Doesn’t mean you’re not lonely.
Just because you’re honest
Doesn’t make you truthful.
Just because you have patience
Doesn’t mean you have peace.
Just because you’re satisfied
Doesn’t mean you’re happy.
Just because you do Charity,
Doesn’t mean you are Generous.
Just because you have Hope
Doesn’t mean you don’t doubt
Just because you have Love,
Doesn’t mean you don’t Hate.
The world is always double sided.
Yes or No.
True or False.
Black or White
Good or Evil.
Just because you made a decision
Doesn’t mean you’re decided.
Either you choose for others.
Or you choose for yourself.
And just because I wrote this
Doesn’t mean I make sense.
Out of town for the weekend.
Just for the sake of argument, let’s just say I deserve this break.
I just want to see if I am going to set the alarms off at the airport
with my new Metal parts since the surgery.
Watch the news tonight, Ok?
I’ll try to do some updates on my Twitter feed
if I get the chance.
And that’s a big “If.”
And by “If”, I mean..
“If, by any chance someone actually reads this crap.”
Are you still reading this crap?
What’s wrong with you?
Later Peeps!
