A Picture in Perspective...

Well, I've been taking pictures again :) Nothing much to this one, just a degrading baseball lying in the mulch near the fence.

Title: "Fallen Dead in a Live World"
Meaning: Although some of us are indeed alive in this world, we may get lost and feel "dead" inside--if we are too alone or confused, we could just drop out of ourselves and be someone who we're not. Be careful, always have someone around you can trust, and always (always) be grounded in what you believe. No matter what.

Hmm... Hello Again :)

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything. Sorry to anyone who actually reads these writings! I don't know quite what to start off with...

Since I've last said anything, here's what's happened.

      DragonForce has gotten a new lead singer! His name is Marc Hudson, from the lovely country of Britain. He's got long blond hair, with just a slight tad bit of light strawberry coloring (at least, I think). I've listened to his audition video, and it's great; there was one hiccup in the video that I could point out, but it was only a very minor one that lasted no more than three seconds, maximum.
      I can honestly say, although I have a pre-conceived love for ZP and his voice, that Marc is a very good singer and I can't wait to hear him as the new lead singer on DragonForce's new album. As for people arguing about whether Marc is a better singer than ZP.... I think it's true. However, if ZP wasn't drunk and high (or at least drunk) at most every concert and while recording, he would be just as good as Marc. If not better :)

      Anyways --->  Good luck to you Marc, as well as DragonForce, on a new leg of your epic, powermetal, journey! 


Oh, and ZP, wherever you are--I hope you're doing well.


    

      On a different note -- I've started to play blues on my guitar, and I love it much more than what I had expected. I adore how friendly and relaxed the sound of the pentatonic and hexatonic scales are--especially the perfect ways of bending the strings to add a little more "oomph" into the song or line. As I've continued to speed up my playing (slowly but surely), I've found a new love: blues!

      School is 3/4 of the way over, and I can't wait until it is! Although, I will most definitely miss speaking in French every day with Madame.  I've learned to love the French language just as much as English, even if it's difficult to think of the order of words when I want to make a question or something of the like.

      For now, I'll leave you with those thoughts, and this picture. Something I took in December of last year (2010).
