guitar...

Gah I wish I had a Maton so bad.

I have a new song list to learn, here it is:

Your Guardian Angel - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
The One That Got Away - P!nk
Don't Look Anywhere Else - Revive
Say- John Mayer
If This is It - Newton Faulkner

Hold me to this! I should be able to play at least 1 by the time you see me next... so if there's a guitar around... quiz me. ;)

16 going on 17

Hello there. It's my birthday in less than two weeks, so I'll finally be able to do magic outside of the school. How exciting :) my friends and I are all going to see the new Alice in Wonderland on the 6th of March. I can't wait!!

Seeing as we're going out to the movies, I'm not expecting any presents from anyone (except my parents..), but a couple people have asked me what I want for my birthday ... sigh.

So, if you're one of those people insistent on getting me a gift, I'm just going to list a couple of things I wouldn't mind getting on my 17th, to help you out. Not to mention that mom reads my blog, so she'll see this list... Hehehe.

- John Mayer's first CD, Room for Squares
Jewelry:
- Earrings (studs, preferably, as I'm getting another piercing soon)
- Sautoir necklaces (pics here and here, but that second one is actually ridiculously expensive lol)
- Rings (but I'm not one for a ring triple the size of my knuckle, just so you know... :P )
- Posters of movies I like, or something else cool to hang on my bedroom wall
- ipod earphones
- An idea for a novel or a short film. Pretty please? I'm feeling very un-inspired....

There. Haha, now if anyone else asks me, I don't have to stammer and mumble, 'uhh... I don't know...'


Other ridiculously expensive things I wish I could get, but seeing as they are ridiculously expensive I won't be seeing them until a few years after I get a job, and I thought I'd just list them here because I like making lists:

- A video camera
- Final Cut Pro
- An iphone
- A Maton pick-up guitar
- A macbook

Expensive tastes and unemployment don't really go together.

When stuff gets destroyed it hurts.

Like, a lot.

So this is my friend Jay and his coolio guitar. Which got destroyed on Wednesday because someone quite obviously stepped on it or smashed it without his knowledge and did not tell him. The head of the guitar is snapped off.

And this is a picture of a broken guitar that I got off his blog, which you can check out here. It's not ACTUALLY his ... at least, I don't think so. But either way that's just devestating to look at, if you're a guitar player like me or Jay. It hurts to think about it.

But yeah stuff getting destroyed just sucks. And it doesn't just have to be an object, like a guitar. If it gets destroyed, it sucks. And it hurts. Big time. But as Christians we forgive those who cause destruction. So everything's gonna be okay.

Wonder - Lisa Mitchell

Get this album.

'Tis awesome. But maybe I'm biased because I voted for her three years ago on Idol ... I don't know.

Anyway, it really is great! Love the guitar. Like I said when I saw her live ... I want her guitar....

I'd say more but I'm too distracted listening to it.

So, maybe that speaks for itself. :)

Guy Berryman ... Coldplay's bassist. He's gorgeous. I love him.

My Hands are High..!

So I went to the Jason Mraz concert last night, 'twas fun fun fun. Lisa Mitchell and Eric Hutchinson were the support, and support they did - I hate it when I go to concerts and the supports suck. Not this time, now I'm impatiently waiting for Lisa to release an album so I can buy the cool songs she played, and maybe if I can found out where she lives I'll sneak down there and steal her guitar. Mad cool. Ha ha.
Anyway I was skeptical about this Eric Hutchinson guy, because I'd never heard of him before and I've had bad experiences before with the second support artists ... they're not always so good... But I dropped all doubts the moment he walked on stage, he has about a billion times more stage prescense than Lisa before him - mind you he is at least ten years older.
So this Eric guy - if you haven't heard him, go get his album! I know it's on iTunes at least, it's called Sounds Like This, and it sounds good. He he.
And then there's Jason. He can sing anything. Anything at all, he makes so many different sounds with his voice, it's amazing. At one point he was versing the audience in a bit of a vocal match, he goes "girls only!" and proceeds to sing the words "Love-a-love-a-love", lower and lower and lower and none of the girls could go that far down of course. Then he gets the boys to sing, and chants like a little bird, and the guys are making terrible squeaking noises in echo.... Hmmmm .....
"Short people only now!"
Huh? That made my cry with hysterics, so I couldn't even sing it.... Neither could Kristen, she was laughing just as hard as I was.
