Geetar.

 

Before I even thought of purchasing one, I knew it would be years before I could successfully play anything recognisable as an actual song on the guitar.  I bought a cheap acoustic off eBay, and thought think it needs seriously tuned before it can sound like anything other than a cheap acoustic.  I bought an expensive (for me bitches) electric off eBay for cheap and it sounds pretty fucking cool.

That's right, I've found a way to be pretty fucking cool.

 

That was after several beers too, just keep that in mind.

Thus far, I've successfully played, from start to finish, where you can recognise them as an actual song:

  • Opportunity - Pete Murray
  • Iggle Piggle Song - Some Fuckwit
  • Hazy Shade of Winter - Simon & Garfunkel
  • Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
  • Stand By Me - Ben E. King

Now I'm utilising Google for a lesson in frustration on "how to make a guitar make the surfer sound".  Finding nothing, hence the frustration.

So, the real reason I'm actually even posting this fine Sunday evening is because I wanted to brag that I played a whole song already (after roughly 6 weeks of geetar ownership) and tell you how fucking cool I am now (shoosh, repetition makes it more true), and to also make the exact phrase, "how to make a guitar make the surfer sound", show up in Google's search results in a few days.

Oh, and to say that I like building things and dressing up like I'm somebody from history and fighting with swords.  Yeah, I know you probably knew that, but saying it out loud is part of the steps.

Smoochiebabies.

Go hug someone you love because deep inside they want to be a rock star because they think that would impress you.

A night in the life of…

 

Wife captured these on a whim one standard Exley night.  A bath, some pjs and then off to bed.

Enjoy.

My oldest, Damon, 8.

Middle child, Georgia, just turned 7.

Fix the World.

 

When I stop to look at it sometimes, it still boggles my mind that I can consider someone so amazingly excellent at being a human being, who can say and do things that I marvel at, and then reel myself back into my own head and realise that this person is my friend.

There’s just so much to it that I could write about it all day, probably say some funny-ass things about it all and even mention his philanthropic ideals in addition to how insanely popular he is as “MC Assassin”, but I don’t need to do that. There’s both too much to it and not enough to it.

For now, I’ll simply start with this:

Fix the World.

He’s got ideas and they’re going places, and I’m helping where I can.

It was Thundercat Events, which proved to be letters arranged in a way that couldn’t actually handle the sheer awesomeness, so he rearranged them into Positive Action League Australia.

Strange how those three words say it best.

Fix the World.

Wish him luck.
