let's switch things up a bit.


So, I kind of want to get into my blogging more, people say they like my blogs and I should write more of them, but I think I'm thinking too hard about it lol. So I'm just going to start doing random shit, and my goal is to write something at least once a week.

Ok, so lately, I've been thinking that I don't want to lose the little bit of talent I have in music..lol so I want to improve my piano skills back up again. I want to get at least as good as I used to be. It won't be easy, but I think it's worth it. I can still read music, thank God, but I can't do it as fast as I used to. Like I see the notes and know what they are, but I've been away from the keys so long, I actually have to look down at my hands. So then I have to label my music to save myself the time lol.

Ughhh but it's annoying and I will overcome it. I decided that on Tuesdays, after my World Politics class, which is over at 12:15, I'll go to the Performing Arts Center and practice some stuff. I think that should build up my skill a little bit. And any other time that I might happen to be on campus with nothing to do, I'm going to go there.

I miss my fucking keys man...I used to just play for the sake of playing, like playing instruments used to calm me down when I was upset about things. But it's almost lost to me now...



So I'm learning this song called, "One Time" by Justin Bieber, you've probably heard it before, and you probably are asking "What the hell" when I said that. Yeah, Justin Bieber may seem a little cheesy, but when the song is played on the piano, it's amazing. The sheet music that I took a picture of is the simplified version...I'll do the more advanced one when I get better again. The piano arrangements that I've heard people transcribe on youtube sound so beautiful so I decided that I wanted to try that song. A lot of people who do this song sing along with it, but I'll decide whether or not to do that once I learn the chords...and ALL the words to the song.

I'm pretty sure that I'll never record it though. lol

But I will record myself playing something, once I get up and running again.

Otherwise, I think I'm doing pretty well...uh huh.

I think I'm going to start making greater use of my youtube. I don't know what I'll be doing, maybe I'll do some video blogs sometime. like when I go places. But yessir, that is my blog. =]
Hope you likedd....

-trip.

to nobody.

Things are easier said than done

such an overused phrase...
but it's so true. i never realized how true that was
and as a result, my mind has started to travel

all my train cars have separated
taking different roots at these divergent tracks
and it's confusing because they all travel at different speeds
some don't even stop to wait
talkless of looking back...

they don't wait. they don't take the time to listen
they just zoom on past like they weren't just part of one train
this train that has been whole for ages
they just, you know, kept going,
leaving their exhaust smoke behind choking the green car

the green car is the car of reason
the middle car that kept everyone together
but soon as we reached these divergent tracks..
it's like we never existed

but things that you did before start catching up to you
like that person who was only a few minutes late for the train
and you left them anyway...so now they're stranded in a
wasteland town

or the inoperable train car you just left behind
without so much as a glance
or that illegal 'detour' you took
that now obviously leads to nowhere that we know
or the secrets kept among the train staff
"what happens here, stays here" right?

but then everything comes into fruition
and we later realize that
everything that we did...or they did
stays with you forever
no matter how much you try to forget this
integral part of life

it's okay. it's fine.
i promise.

i don't lie now
believe me, i won't...
but those things you said
bring me to different conclusions

you know...it's funny how someone's actions
impact, influence, completely alter and sometime denature your previous notions
or forced thoughts
but you can't deceive yourself forever.
if you think you can...you're a fool.

fool - foolish - foolishness can't decide
what to think
it's probably unclear what context i'm speaking in
is it third person
or first person
third omniscient?

i love playing tricks with you
you're so vulnerable my dear.
you...?
doesn't exist. just a understood word for whoever is reading this

i think i'm starting to sound like a mentally unsound person
because i'm probably not making any sense

but that's great. really it is...

please. just...
just...
understand me.
