Throwback Thursday

Here’s another Throwback Picture.

20120809-035835.jpg

This was probably in 1993.
It’s getting harder and harder to find old pictures of me.
Most of the stuff I find are either I am holding a guitar
or I have no pants on.

I’m kidding, they’re mostly of me holding a guitar
with no pants on.

Theories

One of the things I learned about myself
is that… I am still learning about myself.

I am a grown adult.
I am done with school.
I have completed the official stage of learning in my life.
But apparently,
not the “real” learning.

(more…)

I need a break.

I am in Orlando for a week, for training.
And tomorrow’s the exam.

I just took a break from
partying
drinking
gambling
womanizing
studying

yes, studying,
to update this site.

I just realized that I haven’t updated this site since …
well, since that post underneath this post.

I need to get back and keep this site up to date.
This is a product of my hard work.
It’s one of my accomplishments.

And I haven’t had any accomplishments in a while.

That’s why I need to pass this exam tomorrow.
Not just because I have to, but also for bragging rights.

You see the last accomplishment I have done successfully was,
this morning while taking a shower,
the bath soap slipped off my hands,
and I caught it!

In mid air!

Woohoo!!

I am awesome!

And a loser.

An awesome loser!

Two More Songs

Holy Son of a Biscuit Eater!
2 songs?

How did you manage that?
Having a 22 Month old and all.

Well, the 22 Month old took a 2 hour nap.
That’s how.

First is,
Marian’s Dance, by Steve Fairclough,
And second is,
Song for George, by Eric Johnson.

Eric Johnson, as you know, is one of my favorite guitar players.
And I have always wanted to record one of his intricate, melodic tunes in here,
but they are all just too hard.
Well, not to mention they all suck when I play them.

So, I called Mr. Johnson on his phone to ask him.

I said,
“Hey Eric, why wouldn’t you write a piece that’ll be easy to play
and give your admirers a break and be able to play at least one of your songs.
Come on man! You’re killing us!”

He said,
“Who are you and how did you get this number?”

Okay, okay,
I was just dreaming.

But anyway,
I hope you like it, and if you hear any mistakes,
it’s just all in your head.

So here’s

Oh, and on a side note,
I think that’s it for acoustic sounds for a while.
Time to re-kindle my romance with “Delilah.”
(Yes, I named my electric guitar, “Delilah”. You stay out of this!)
