I suck at blogs

So apparently I suck at blogs as my blog title says.  I haven't updated in a week and I've actually done some stuff worth blogging kinda.  I'm confirmed moving to the country in about two weeks which is quite exciting.  It means several things.  One:  a car.  Awesome I can get around by myself which is quite necessary, especially when living in the country.  As much as I appreciate my mom lending me her car whenever I need it, I hate having to ask for it so though this car technically won't be mine, in that I won't own it, it will mean I won't have to ask me mah for a car when I need one.

Two:  I'll have no rent, only money to be payed due to car and the other sundry expenses associated with living, but no rent and hopefully no student loans.  All the expenses will still likely be less than I am paying now and if it is more the difference will be negligible and I will have a car and live in the country, so I win.  This leads to three:  I will live in the country.  Can you say awesome?  I sure can.  This should hopefully inspire me to do more and better writing.  I'm assuming it will.

On the subject of writing, it is the end of the month and i haven't finished a tune yet.  Sigh.  I guess I shall have to double my efforts and finish two songs in February, the shortest month of the year.  Sigh again.  Well, I am 55% done of one tune which I enjoy and very much in my head sounds like Kenny Wheeler but that may be a bit of hubris on my part but we shall see. I shall try to more regularly update my blog, but considering I have only one reader, I dunno if that will happen.  I leave you with Chick Webb.  MMMmmmmmm BIG BAND!!

Transcribing is wicked, music is hard

Finished a transcription today.  First one in about 8 months so I'm pretty stoked.  Thats not the main concern of this post however.  The most important thing I've done today is started another song for my album.

For those who are unaware I will be leading a band in a recording in April which will feature all original works (probably).  To do this, I must write four tunes, one a month, until then so I can have enough original works.  Writing has been difficult for the last few months having only one and a half full songs and about seven random ideas.  I've found I can't get my ideas developed enough, but I think now I finally have something I can work with which will become a good tune. Hopefully it will develop quickly because I have only six days to the end of the month.

In other news I'm no longer sick.  Also, Ricky Gervais is hilarious:

Deal with it

Also I know my title is kinda lame, but it's all I can think of.

There's a first time for everything.

I never thought I would have a blog, but here it is!  I think it will be good motivation for me...somehow.  Anyways this is a lame first post because I am sick and need rest.  Here's the song my title is from:
