Acoustic guitarring and childrens_process

A couple of weeks ago my aunt pawned an acoustic guitar off on me; she had no intention of learning how to play it so instead of letting it collect dust in...where ever it was...she thought I might like it, since I was there taking all her pre-WWII books anyway. The guitar had all its strings and I have always wanted to learn how to play the guitar so I took it.

As hard as playing the piano was, at least the first 20-30 measures of Pachabel's Canon in D, the guitar is even harder. Piano chords are more or less one dimensional: spread your fingers this much, this far and you are alright. Guitar chords are two dimensional: put your fingers on the strings and put them on this fret or that fret. your hand winds up looking like some kind of claw used for swiping at things. And when you first begin your fingers will hurt...but that has passed now, which is nice since i didn't enjoy every other letter i typed being accompanied by some kind of finger hurt. It was like having a keyboard that was a pit of spikes.

I suspect I will be stuck on chords for a long time so I am mixing that up with divining the notes to the Wind Waker theme. Sure I could look it up but I"m confident I will figure it out. I'm not even sure why I'm writing in this blog. Perhaps its because I'm bored and tired and thus don't know I should be sleeping right now...or perhaps it's because this will give my one follower something to do when she is bored. Yes, she can read my jibberjabber :P

i'm never having kids...if you want your body decimated by a parasite then go ahead and have a kid
and then, after that decimation, you have to spend every waking moment taking care of the thing that did so much damage to you in the first place, or face some kind of jail time, only to have it turn on you in the end
THAT is what having a kid is. it amazes me that humanity made it out of its two centuries.


Something to think about:
"We have too many stupid people. We need to get rid of them. I know there's a lot but we have to start somewhere"
