New song, New Attitude

What is up people of Internet-land? I was going through Facebook looking at people's profiles I haven't seen or really talked to in a while. It was kinda of an awakening. Pretty much everyone is either engaged or happily in a relationship. I've been single for like...almost two years now. I guess the last few relationships have severely scarred me.

I'm working on that part though. I just bought a new mic for my computer so I can record and edit stuff. I've also bought an acoustic guitar, in hopes of making something of them both. I figure I need a creative outlet for my emotions, so might as well do it through music like I always do. I'm pretty serious about it too. I mean, I made my own band and all. I figure I have to start somewhere, get feedback and improve myself always.

I have to get over my fear of singing in front of people too. I know I'm not a great singer, but I think I can add my own flair. Plus I don't care if people like my music or not, although I'm not saying I wouldn't mind if they did! I've added a super rough demo cover, yeah that was a mouthful. It's a cover of an Adema song. I didn't edit it super heavy and the vocals were on one take, so take it with a grain of salt, it's just a demo anyway, trying to get ideas. Basically trying to hear myself sing from an outside perspective. Now I just need to work on some intonation, cough cough band geek, cough cough. If you are a musician, you'd know what that means for sure. ESPECIALLY if you had Mr. Foster as an instructor.

So other than that, I've watched a series of videos that have really opened my eyes to the world around me. It kind of confirmed what I have always believed and made me feel that I'm not paranoid, there are forces in this world that work for evil. SO I'm dedicating my life to making myself better, because I have to do that first before I can heal the world. I'm hoping that maybe my music sparks inspiration in people to better themselves and their relationships with people. Jimi Hendrix once said if there is something to be healed in this world, it can only be done through music. So here goes Jimi.

In case you are wondering, the series is called The Arrivals. It's a take on the world through the eyes of a Muslim, but don't let that discourage you. It is very well researched and super enlightening. It is well worth the watch, but know that going into it blind if you keep an open mind and watch it all, it will not only blow your mind, but it might even change your life. It has mine, at least in the way I perceive the world around me. I highly recommend it. You can get to the site where it is hosted here.

I'll be updating this more frequently, so if you like to hear how I feel and think, stay tuned.
