On your mark...

So! I'm sitting here in bed and thinking about the day and I am unbelievably excited. You see, today is the day that Becky comes in town and I get to see and hold and kiss my fiancee. So awesome. The problem I guess of this moment is that it's Audioslave's turn on my iTunes. I don't know how many of you listen to Audioslave. Amazing band, great sound, I love it. But it is not music that you listen to on bright sunny mornings. Grunge is music you listen to on other days. That aren't quite as happy and exciting haha. But it's alright I am enjoying it.

I get to mow the lawn today. I'll hopefully start in a little over an hour...get an early start so I can be done by 11 or so and spend a bit of time with Michael. I won't see that kid for a while. He may not be able to do anything which is slightly depressing though. I'll live I suppose.

I don't have anything exciting to write about. At all. The only thing that's happened is that I've been digging post holes in my backyard. And apparently it's an old glacial depository blah blah or something so there are freaking dinosaur eggs or something in the ground. These rocks are over half the size of my head. Not enjoyable. I've been playing some xbox in my spare time. Running in the mornings. And that has been my entire life.

I have noticed something though. I listen to music constantly throughout the day because I'm working and everything. And there's a little effect that I've realized that I don't care much for too much. I don't exactly know what it's called. A friend of mine who had a home studio and recorded music called it paning, but upon further detective work it seems there is no such word. Anyway. This effect is when they put the sounds on one side or the other to certain degrees. That probably didn't make sense. Have you ever listened to music where like one guitar part or the vocals or something only comes out of one headphone? And you check to make sure they're plugged in and they really are and you figure out that for some reason that's what the artist or producer wanted to do? Yeah that's it. I don't mind it to some degree. Most bands or artists do it. But there are extremes. And I don't like those extremes. For example, I'm going to mention (Windy look away) the Beatles. Now, AMAZING band obviously. Founders of rock or whatever. I love them. But they are not infallable. They are notorious for using this effect to overkill during some of their albums. Listen to Here Comes The Sun or Yellow Submarine with headphones. Take the right one out. Where did the singing go? It's gone! Vocals are the one thing that I need to come through both ears right down the middle. Guitars are forgivable if one is on one side and the other on the opposite. But vocals coming out of just one ear? Ew. It drives me crazy. Maybe I'm just too picky I guess. Oh well it's not like it's hurting anyone but me.

After the end of this Audioslave CD and Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend I'm out of the A's! I'm excited. And if any of you are laughing about that song I will stab you to death. I used to put that on with Tiny and listen to it every morning along with the Ting Tings, which are the most amazing band ever. Kind of. They're fun though haha. And Tiny will say she's attractive. But not me because I'm engaged and Becky is the most beautiful girl ever. That last part wasn't a joke by the way she is way awesome looking. Anyway. Keep it real guys. I'm going to have a great weekend so you better too. Smile and be happy! The sun is out and that is cause for celebration in itself.
