Guitars

Picture this... Me, sitting in my bedroom playing my guitar... As i sat there i began to think about music, instruments, life... You know... The usual... But i began to focus on instruments, then on the instruments i play.... Guitar, Ukelele, Bass, Piano... After thinking for well over a half hour i decided i play the coolest instrument in the world... The guitar.
Who in the heck thought about it enough to come up with a guitar??? "Hmm... let me think here" (this being said in the head of the inventor)... "If i put these strings from here to here and make them really tight... Oh yeah... And i have to make a bunch of these little ridges (frets) so i can push the string down and change the pitch... There will have to be a hollow body made of good wood to project and amplify the sound..." Gosh... Who ever that was had there head about them...
Honestly... If you think about it.... How many instruments are there really... Not very many... So that means that not very many people have made instruments and succeeded. Ha ha ha. You would have to have so much patience and time to make a new instrument... Not to mention a freaking creativity in your mind that blows all others away...
Think about the inventor of the bongos... A guy sitting in his room was just like... I need this sound... Ha ha... Now how to get it... Let me stretch animal hide over a hollow wooden cylinder and see how that sound.... Ah.... Just right... Like... Wow.... Seriously i have no idea where some of these guys did what they did...
Sorry if this blog bored you to death. I like to write what i want to write. so.... Eat it. :) Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this though... Your the bomb! Talk to you soon!!!

First blog.



Hey.

If you are actually taking

the time to read this i think

that you are awesome.

I think that reading is a god

given talent that alot of

people take for granted.


As you may have notice by

the title of this, this is indeed

my first blog. Though some

people like to talk about

religion, music, relationships,

or other boring things;

I plan on talking about my life.

Which is all of those things

wrapped up in a little ball.

That little ball sadly being

my life.


Is life really small though?

I don't believe so. The meaning

of your life is huge and

endless. We never know exactly

where we might end up, who we

might meet, or what we will be

doing. But i do know that life has a

greater purpose than for us to

just come here and party it up.


I love my friends.

Without my friends i wouldn't

be a sane person. Social life is

more important to me then alone

time. Some people say you need to

get "in touch" with your true

and or inner self... Wow...

How self centered is that. I have

found, I am the happiest when i

find myself in the service of other

people. Lending a helping hand,

loving your neighbor, and giving

random acts of kindness are

three of the best things you can

do. From these three things

I get instant gratifiction.

Peace, Love, and Happiness

never hurt anybody.


I would begin to talk about

music but i simply do not

have enough time. That is for

another day.


To who ever took the time

to read this, thank you.

I have more coming if you

are interested. :)
