Ty’s Tuesday Tunes

Ty’s Tuesday Tunes.
It’s got a little ring to it, doesn’t it?

I’m just thinking of ideas to make me update this site regularly.
Making music is a lot of work, even though it’s quite fun for me to do.

Plus, there’s so much I want to play and learn.
As you can see from all the covers I have done, I really enjoy recording music.
But, I have done so much, I don’t even remember them all.

So, as I was driving home today, I thought of this.
Ty’s Tuesday Tunes.
Kinda like Throwback Thursday, but on Tuesday.
And it’s not pictures, but songs.
It’s a way for me to remember some of the music I have done
or maybe introduce some tunes I am working on.

You see?
It’s a brilliant idea!

I am full of ideas.
The problem is, they’re mostly full of shit.
And they usually get me in trouble.
But that is not important right now.

This song came on my iPod shuffle today.
(Yes, I like listening to myself sometimes.)

And I said to myself, “Hey, you haven’t heard this one in a while.”
And my self answered, “You’re right!” I haven’t.”
So, I said, “Man, this song is cool!”
And my self replied, “Yeah! It’s great! We should post something on the site!”
“We should!” I answered back.
My self yelled, “Yeah!”
I said, “Awesome!”
Then we fist bumped and sang along with the music.

*Sigh*
Fun times. Fun Times.

I’m going to bed.

Thank you.

If I may be serious for a moment.

A couple of months ago,
we had some troubling news within our family.

It has been challenging, to say the least.
Not just for me, but for every member of our clan.

Without going into details,
I would like to say that things are looking up.
And we have been given more hope.

I would like to take this opportunity
to thank everyone who have given their sincerest support,
thoughts and prayers.

Even to those whom I have only known by name
and not really acquainted with, offered a helping hand.

It is still a long journey ahead,
but at least hope is in sight.

Thank you.

Walk Away

20130708-103605.jpg

Nothing is working for me today.
I hate it when the only thing that helps me get through anything
just won’t come out.

I can play.
But it’s not me playing.

I have to walk away.

Father’s Day 2013

Some of the things I remember about my Dad
are his lame jokes.
Some of it were good,
but most of it were… cringe worthy.

He would tell the same jokes over and over
and all of us would just sit there and let him deliver it
and pretend that it’s our first time hearing them.

Allow me to share this one joke of his to you
that he told me when I became a father myself.

I will write it in Filipino first
since it was told to me that way
then I’ll translate it for our “Habla Inglesa” friends.

Keep in mind that we were on the phone,
talking very seriously.

Here it goes:

“Isa ka nang Tatay, anak.
Marami kang dadanasin at haharapin na pagsubok.

Pero eto ang tandaan mo.
Sa isang pamilya,
Ang Nanay ang ilaw ng tahanan.
Sya ang nagbibigay liwanag sa inyong lahat.

Ang Tatay ang haligi ng tahanan.
Ikaw ang pundasyon ng inyong pamilya at kabuhayan.

At ang pinaka importante,
Ang mga manugang ay ang mga anay,
na dumudurog sa pundasyon!”

Hahah!! I am still laughing about this joke
after all these years.

And now I’m going to translate it …….

You know what..
I’d rather not.
I may get in trouble for this.

I miss you, Dad.
Happy Father’s Day

Every single time

Every freakin’ time I link a Social Media site to this blog
I end up hating it and end up doing a lot of cleaning.

I tried to link my Twitter posts here,
it just ended up messing up my archives.

I tried using a Facebook comment plugin,
it slowed the loading time to a crawl.

Ahhh! The things you have to do to feel
accepted and normal.

Why can’t I just do humiliating things for money?

I don’t know

I don’t know why I keep this site anymore.
Nobody reads it.
Hell, I don’t even read it.

Who still reads blogs?
It’s not 2010 anymore.

Music Thursday Throwback

Ha!
Look at this guy from 3 years ago.
Trying to make his first Video Song Post.
He’s got no clue on what he’s doing.
What a dork!

You should feel bad for this guy.
Watch this video.
And for your inconvenience,
I promise to pay you back in Candy Crush Lives.
Go! Leave a comment if you want to.

See the rest of the video song posts on my “Youtube Channel.”

Or all the posted songs under “Chorus.”

–Disclaimer:
I may have stopped playing Candy Crush
after I spent $300 playing levels.
Please don’t expect any.

The Worry Box

This is the Worry Box.

It was lent to me by someone from my work.
I didn’t know it, but this is something they pass around
whenever someone or their family is going through trying times.
