Got some things done today, but as one would expect, not nearly as much as I would’ve liked to. I had planned on working on some songs/chord progressions today, but I was happy to have a little noodle time with the guitars. TIme for bed, but I needed to try and write something.
G’night.
Let me start off by saying that I consider myself to be fiscally conservative and, on many levels, socially liberal. I go to church, I’m not a big fan of abortion, but gay marriage doesn’t bother me. I didn’t vote for President Obama, but then again, I didn’t vote for McCain either.
I was a bit [...]
Yeah, I’m on facebook, now. Funny thing is, I recently watched the BBC series “The IT Crowd”, Season3, Episode 5, regarding a fictional social website called “FriendFace”.

“Compliment a Complete Stranger Day”. Tell somebody you like their shoes, their smile, their car, their ensemble. If you see some kid trying out a guitar lick in a muc store, tell ‘em they play pretty good.
