Kids: II

I have mixed feeling about today. The Flip Video camera will be coming soon. Today I just discovered two new Muse songs. Well they aren't really new, but they are really hard to come by. So hard to come by they don't even have official names :O

My friend, Ethan Skeim, whom I haven't seen in a good 7 months will be coming back to Bradenton tomorrow, from boot-camp. I am excited to see him, and to see how much he's changed. I'm not sure if he knows if I came back from California yet, so it should be interesting to see his reaction none-the-less.

Sorry for the lack of personal updates. My body has been in zombie-mode, for these past couple days, but I think I'm breaking through, and making progress concerning my sleeping patterns. With that said, I have now made it a goal to try, and update my blog before midnight (EST), if ever possible.

I am disappointed. Today, I was with Mackenzie's youth group, for a birthday party. And it came for everyone to introduce themselves, and say what your favorite song was, or what the soundtrack to your life would be, and everyone is naming off popular bands (with keen adoration to Owl City), and it comes to my turn, I say my name (Luis), and I name off "Kids" by MGMT, and I was utterly flabbergasted by the fact that no one, other than Michael Lamb, even heard of the band. Like I kind of felt bad for them all. I really did.

Earlier in the day, I was also thinking about my time in California. And to be honest, most of it is a blur. Like I would wake up, go to work, internets, then sleep. The only time I would deviate from that routine was maybe when there was alcohol or weed involved, or a party at the house. I also remember bitching about my landlady Carmen, and hearing my roommates bitch all the same. I kind of wish I was still there with them, they were my very strong motivation for me to work out over there. I'm not giving up on my puny arms and legs though, I'll be getting into a regular exercising schedule, like the one I was in over there. I also remember, attempting to play the piano, I only learned a handful of one-handed songs in my spare time.

The thing with me, is that I'll see something new, it will be fun for a while, but if I don't get the results that I want right away, I'll get turned off, and discouraged. I know that if I do something, and that I really put the effort to try, I can develop that skill better. I seem to like lots of different little things, but not really excelling at any one in particular. With the exception of course, being Filmography, and post-production, love it, and I WANT to get MUCH better at it. Like I know that with the right mindset, and lots of focus, I can attract that into my life. I guess the universe is waiting on me to act...

Which is why tomorrow, I will be recording my voice, and re-dubbing the song "Kids" by MGMT, for the next music video that I want to do. That's right, me, singing. No worries, I have software on my computer that'll make my voice sound all goodah, but I shouldn't need it of course ;) . I heard a version of it, that was done with just a guitar and vocals, so that was my inspiration to re-dub the song.

**Off Topic**

Yesterday I also came to the news that TNA (Total Nonstop Action) is making a comeback. For those of you who don't know, I remember back a couple years ago, when both of the wrestling shows were competing on the Monday night slot. It was RAW (WWE)vs TNA. Lots of drama. Like I remember some of the superstars from the shows would invade the other show, and it was all out war pretty much. To see them coming back again, especially after so many years, is very exciting. Last Monday they had a three hour special, with a lot of high profile wrestlers, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Jeff Hardy, Bobby Lashley, Kurt Angle, Mankind, Kevin Nash, X-Pac, Razor Ramon, and Eric Bischoff (oh dear) in charge of it all. Lord knows last time I seen WWE, it was just getting so bland (1 year ago, I'm guessing). Of course it's all scripted and what not, that doesn't bother me, what bothered me is the lack of strong heart-felt compelling story-play. If you're going to have full grown men dancing with each other in a square, might as well make it interesting and truly entertaining right? I really hope TNA (on the Spike Network) really takes off again, and that they return to all the drama from the Generation-X (Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, etc.) wrestling days (Which is what I grew up on).

Good night, good luck. Happy walking.
