working, guitar shopping, aphex twin, etc
i know i havent posted in the past few days. im sorry if youre mad. ive been pretty busy.
i woirked all weekend. i made alot of tip money. the problem is i often plan to spend more money than i have. so i need to be careful.
today after school me and eric went to baskin (31) robins. it was pretty good. nicky was working there so we got free shakes. i got the peanut butter chocolate one.
theni went to the guitar center to look for an acoustic guitar. ive wanted an acoustic guitar for a while now, but i never really planned to aquire one until recently. i can attribute this to elliott smith. the man was a genius. it already amazes me how people can put chords and words togeth to form music, but when people can make music as heartwrenching and emotional as elliott did just astounds me. listening to him live was an amazing experience in it's self. there is this guy, playing these wonderfully worded, poetic, and graceful songs, and in between each, he stutters and mumbles and makes little introverted jokes. it was like he was two different people. and then it makes me unbelievably sad when i realize that this man would go on to stab himself in the chest.
enough about that. it's sad enough as it is. but still: RIP elliott. i wish i knew you before you died.
so yeah: guitar shopping. before i even got into the store i got stopped by a cop. he said i matched the description of a man who was reported panhandling cars and asked for my id. he gave it back to me and drove away and one of the Guitar Center guys saw the whole thing. turns out he worked in the acoustic section, which was right where i headed, so we talked about it a little bit. i forget his name, but he was a really nice guy.
after the acoustics, i went to the keyboard section and played around on a synth. it was so awesome. i cant really describe it anyway else.
then i played on a telecaster, went back to the acoustics for a while, realized what time it was, and headed to church.
now im listening to aphex twin.
so that covers all the stuff in the title. im sorry guys. this was an uninspired post.
