I'm Sorry It Took Me So Longgggggg (Say Yes, Say Yes, Say Yes, Say Yesssss...)

Hey guys, It's been a mighty long time since my last post... many a moon has passed since I came out with something new. Why the reason for my hiatus? Writer's block, basically.... I almost posted a few times but when time came to write I just went blank. I know, fail. So after a week I figured, "fuck it, homes..." it's either now or never, even if there's nothing to write about.

SO... lately life has been good. I had my first test of the year on Friday, it was for my Child Psychology class. I haven't gotten it back yet, but I'm positive that I aced that shit like I was playing tennis. ZING! I love that word, "zing." It can mean so many things.... but is it even a real word? Let's consult Dictionary.com, because dictionaries are, in fact, the absolute (and quite oppressive) authority on every word that is in-and is not in-the English language... let's see what it has to say about the word "zing":

zing

–noun
1. vitality, animation, or zest.
2. a quality or characteristic that excites the interest, enthusiasm, etc.: a tourist town with lots of zing.
3. a sharp singing or whining noise, as of a bullet passing through the air.
–verb (used without object)
4. to move or proceed with a sharp singing or whining noise: The cars zinged down the highway.
5. to move or proceed with speed or vitality; zip.
–verb (used with object)
6. to cause to move with or as with a sharp, singing or whining noise: The pitcher zinged a slider right over the plate.
7. Slang. to blame or criticize severely: City Hall always gets zinged when crime increases.

Heh, didn't think it was actually in the dictionary. But then again, if "Bling-Bling" is in the dictionary, then what wouldn't be? Btw, I'm definitely not making that up... check it in any recent dictionary. Na mean homie?!

In other news... I finally found a jamming partner. My friend who's an RA in my building now walked by while I was jamming(wa-chu-ah) solo and was surprised that I played guitar. It turns out he's a really good singer, so we started practicing some songs together recently. Him and I actually played a lot of pool together last year, and he's just about as nasty at pool as I am, if not better. So I thought that was pretty cool that I have someone to rock out with now. I started learning some TBS songs, or at least parts of them... I'm learning the intro to one of my fave songs by them, One-Eighty By Summer.

I went to Sam Ashe near St. John's to buy a capo and new strings... and my god, how I love music stores. I feel like I step into guitar heaven every time I go into a store like Sam Ashe, Guitar Center, etc. There are so many awesome guitars there, I feel like i could spend a million dollars there and still not have everything that i want. Between summer and Christmas of 2010 I want to get my own solid body electric guitar and a full size amp, and I also want to take more guitar lessons. I'm also definitely learning how to drive next summer... that, my friends is a must. It's bad enough I'm gonna be 20 and not have a license.

Well, I think I'll call it a post.... It's been nice catching up with you guys, catch you later.
