Hey ya'll, how are you?
An update before we jump in-- this is strictly optional to read-- but I thought you should know I'm not in Illinois. I'm in (you guessed it) Utah! I'm so excited to ski! Yay!
And let's go; ____ parts today!
Part 1: I Could Do This Forever
I take piano lessons with a guy named Derek, and yesterday I had a 90-minute lesson with him. We recorded a totally awesome cover of a song called "Brick By Boring Brick" by Paramore. It's not finished yet and I know you don't want to hear me drone on and on and on about the song and the meaning and since the recording isn't even done yet I'm going to rant about how awesome the experience was.
It took us a few minutes to decide on a song to record. He'd wanted to record an original song, but that wasn't exactly an option (because I'd been ignoring it), and "King Of Anything" by Sara Barellis (the reason I didn't focus on my original song) isn't ready yet. I suggested B(4), played it for him, and he went for it.
First thing he does is tuck a blanket around the opening of the grand piano he has and I recorded the piano part. it was pretty cool, wearing the recording headphones and everything. Then came the part where I had to record the singing, which I was really hesitant to do because I still have recovered from being sick. But it went well and I didn't totally butcher it!
I left thinking "I could do this everyday for the rest of my life and never tire of it." It was just that awesome. So maybe, instead of writing for a living, I should sing? I don't know. What do you think?
Part 2: The Many Uses of FaceBook
Here's List of the Uses of FaceBook:
1.) Learning how to farm. We all know Farm-Ville is so realistic and all the problems are taken from real life. I highly recommend using this application before moving to the Country.
2.) Of course, you can always stalk your friends. You'll learn things you always wanted to know- like that they don't know the difference between "your" and "you're." Or "there," "their," and "they're."
3.) You can make ridicu- I mean, 100% useful quizzes to try and see who knows you the best whilst simultaneously NOT giving identity stealers everything they need to know about you. Just cross your fingers they know absolutely nothing about you.
4.) Instead of texting those embarrassing pictures of your friends- just make sure you aren't too mean. They have pictures of you as well.
5.) Test your typing skills against your friends! Of course, you'll get way into the game and get very upset every time you screw up. Because it's sooo suspenseful.
There ya go- what I use FaceBook for! (Obviously I'm kidding because I'm not a stalker.)
Part 3: My Dad Grew Up In The Hood
"You know, when I lived in the hood..."
"You grew up in Franklin."*
"Still."
My dad claims he grew up in a hood. Yes, apparently culs-de-sac are the old-school version of today's sketchtastic actual hood. His best friend, my Uncle Spike, swears that the park was "the spot" to hang out by. Yeah. Not so much.
Their "hood" was the town of Daisies.* They had a daisy parade. Yeah. Seriously.
That's sad.
Love ya'll!
Rex
