Now that I don't have a 9-5, I find myself staying up all night on occasion. Maybe I'm trying to be more productive like I was during this most recent episode. But many times I'm just stretching the day a bit to play more video games. (I totally planned on doing that tonight!)
No, tonight, I was surfing the web for some music news. I'm a huge music fan. Not the fake music you hear from these so-called 'rap artists' but the real stuff you hear from real musicians playing the guitar. I heard that Wyclef Jean is running for president of Haiti. Apparently, he's actually from there and has been taking frequent trips there in his private jet as head of the Yele Haiti Foundation. Now, idk if Wyclef is just a bad businessman or a thief, but he supposedly used some of the money raised to pay some of his rent. You make the conclusion on whether he would make a good president or not.
Being a lover of rock music, I am totally into some Avenged Sevenfold but found that their drummer and co-founder, James 'The Rev' Sullivan, died of an acute polydrug intoxication on Dec. 27, 2009. Sad. But the good news is that another most excellent drummer, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, has agreed to sit in on their upcoming tour dates!
I also did a bit of research tonight on a few tech items I'd like to purchase in the near future too. I actually put a bid on one on Ebay. Hold up, I gotta go check on that, btw... Yay, not outbid! Yet... only 6d 7h to go. I found out how easy and inexpensive it is to record your own music at home with lots of new tech options now-a-days. Oh the joys of technology!
And speaking of technology, Blackberry seems to be on the downfall. So many ppl out there have these things (I did) but are boycotting them! I honestly don't blame them. I had so many problems with mine. Once it called the cops for me all by itself! Luckily I wasn't sitting at home in my boxer briefs smoking a hookah when they came-a-knockin'. 911 Emergency was just checking on a call they had received from my number while I was in the shower. I know that I hadn't placed the call, but sure enough, fifteen mins later, Officer Do-My-Job came by to make sure I was ok, thankfully. Could have been the trackball sensitivity to the weight of my jeans on the floor to make the call, or the emergency dispatcher actually spoke with the dead person's walking ghost from the previous homeowner's serial killer escapades. Who knows? Needless to say, I switched to a new Smart(er)phone asap.
Now, I know that it doesn't seem that I actually spent all night only finding these few tidbits of information on the world wide web. But I did only get home from my band's, Tune Dup, awesome rock show in Colonial Beach, VA this morning at 3am. (Check us out at http://www.facebook.com/pages/manage/#!/pages/Tune-Dup/128826880484433
So, now I've come to the end of my overnight web surfing, tech researching, "Nightmare" listening, fun-filled rock night. Rock on, A7X! And rock on, me for putting up my first ever blog! I've always heard of these things and wondered if I could ever get my lazy ass off of WoW to put one together. So now, here we are. Hope you all enjoy!
