how does she know you love her?

James or Tyson.<3
That is the question.

We learned this.
Uh-huh. So the whole song is just plucking those three chords...

I might be out of date but I just went to Youtube some American Idol videos.
I kinda, sorta like Adam Lambert's version of No Boundaries. Kris Allen drags the song a little too much whereas Adam has the rock-ish thing going on.
And I've been reading comments that people leave, talking about Adam's sexuality. It doesn't matter if he's gay or not, really. Why do people care? It's personal and has nothing to do with his singing...
Okay, um, weird.

You gotta love Love Drunk. It's so addictive.
And I think I blew one ear deaf. Dang..
try to learn a lesson but you can’t
Someone just bought a guitar. That someone has be burning because she's gonna learn on her own. That someone likes bragging and pretending she knows-it-all. That someone has me green with envy. That someone is lame.
She worships Taylor Swift like a god. She thinks she's gonna become her. She thinks by looking at her and obsessing about her everyday can get her somewhere. She has passion and that's what I hate about her.
Holy crap. Geebus. I am terminated, just been erased and boom bam bom beem bem!
Why do these people have such luck that their parents get them a guitar before they even join a lesson because they trust the kid to be responsible for what he/she does with it in past, present or future uses?
Great. Yeah. When she becomes Taylor Swift, she'll be exactly like her because she's probably gonna get some chords and write a song tonight just like Taylor Swift. Blah blah blah. And she'll be named that she learned on her own and how responsible is that.
I'm just so glad that she didn't get a black guitar because I'll be taking my high blood pressure pills right now.
Someone says we don't need to get a branded guitar as long as the sound is good and you can play well or for leisure. Someone had a fallen face right after that someone said so. That someone doesn't know if we should get a Minnie anymore because you don't give a dang if it's branded or not.
Is that the right thing to say?
Oh, whatever. I hate becoming center of attention when I suck at the freaking F (you) chord. Especially bar chords. Ha.ha.ha. My fingers are not long. You should see those guitarists at sch. Their fingers are terrible and it kills me very much. Maybe I was too cocky like Miss Future Taylor Swift.
Don't need to make that stupid laughing sound when I mess up. I feel paranoid that everyone thinks I'm stupid. Well, I gotta start welcoming myself to the real world now.
Why do I get freaking carried away when I get stressed because of lame things like that?
God save the person who will never be a guitariste.
when darkness turns to light
I always forget what I wanna say. Just like Taco said.
I feel really bored. And I forget what I'm gonna do. Right. Finish this project thingy.
xxx
We should practice more because once again, I'm losing it.
I'm getting real worried because there's this annoying person who wants to learn and thinks she knows it all about it. I get uncomfortable when someone progresses faster and has this freaking big spirit to learn it.
Maybe because we didn't experience that.
xxx
Snooze.
Another Heart Calls is a great song.
I love, love, love a good duet. AAR featuring The Pierces. Tyson's voice and theirs are so melodious together. You can just hear their voices mixed together like birds! Just like Rihanna and Adam Levine. You can hear both their voices. Now, that's called singing! People with voices.
The Pierce sisters are like M2M. They have quite strong and good voices, actually. [: I don't know. They're not famous.
The Pierces
Haha! Weird. Anyway, I love the song. ;D
xxx
Taylor Swift's You Belong With Me video is just so out of the blue because we haven't been keeping ourselves updated.
Do guys really love Taylor Swift songs about a girl's message to a guy? Then if you're a guy, you'll be singing the girl's part to the guy?
Weird. Don't make sense.

running circles in my head
Where have we disappeared to, really? 
Testing out new and awesome games. Banging our heads to great music. Awaiting the week of hell called examinations. Watching CSI : NY almost everyday.
xxx
Aw. CSI : NY gets sweeter every episode but gonna go bitter soon.
Danny and Lindsay got married. <3 Those flashbacks were cool and nearly had me melting to the ground. So sweet! [: If only that was reality. I'd be over the moon.
Flack and Detective Angell are so frigging sweet together. I heard she died in the last episode?? x.x What the .... They're killing the show off, man! Both of them match like a damn puzzle. They look good together in other words. He's hot, she's hot. 
<3
Oh my gawd! Adam! He's such a sweetie. <3 So touching that..... I won't expose anyone. He looks typically Irish like a leprechaun. Hee! They should include him in more episodes.
Danny; Hawkes; Flack
I heart this season. [The episodes I already watched.]

Guitar lessons have been sucking like shiz..
I can't believe he told us that we can just listen to songs and then try to play. What the freaking flying fork? Doesn't mean that you can play by ear then everyone else can. :]
I feel so disappointed? Because I suck? 
Anyway. I've been wondering what guitar I should get. I need to get the model number and see, check and be sure. We need to get a whole lot of things though. I have big, big doubts!
xxx
We heard AAR at Carls' Jr. Seriously. That place is awesome if they played more music. It made us fall in love with It Ends Tonight. We heard Straitjacket Feeling and Gives You Hell there! In a row. 
Imagine that. Songs that aren't singles. I like that.
all wet ^-^
I melt every time you look at me that way
So.. let me tell you how our guitar string changing went.
It was fun and new and fresh.
First, he asked me to unscrew the tuning keys. That was fun. The strings became super loose and Cheez had fun plucking at the wobbly strings which produced no sound except a faint twang when it hit the sound hole. HAha.
Second, he asked me to use the pliers to wedge out the bridge pins over here..
The orange part.
Then after pulling them out while rearing back now and then, afraid that they would fly out into my face, he yanked out the strings from the now-open bridge pin holes. Then he uncoiled the strings from the machine heads?! Yeah, something like that.
Time to put in the new strings which looked fascinating. Ahem, we've never seen newly coiled strings in packets until today.
Oooh, shiny, shiny stuff.
So anywaaay, Cheez stuffed the string butts into the pin holes and closed it with the pins.
Most of the time, he adjusted the length of the strings before asking me and Cheez to screw the tuning pegs back with a funny red screw thing.
"Is it that difficult to screw that you have to use both hands?" our teacher asked me.
HAHA, I have no strength! 
Yes, this.
You know as you turn the tuning pegs, you have to press the string against the fretboard. Yeah, I did this.
And guess what? While I was holding the string down for the high E string as he turned the peg, the string broke. TWANG! It snapped and cut my finger and Cheez's shoulder in the process. 
Ugh. It stung.
"Are you okay?" "Did it cut you?"
Me and Cheez got this tiny, tiny red cut but it still hurt.
"Where did it cut you? Let me see."
I show my middle finger where it got cut. He looks from where he's standing. Then peers at my finger at a nearer distance. "Where?" "There, it's fine now." Peers even closer. "Ohh, there."
Haha.
After that he tuned the guitar for us and praised the beautiful sound that our new guitar strings produced. Mmhmm. Melodious.
So now we know how to change the strings.
Yippeedoodaaaaa!
A tuner next perhaps?
When the wind blows.
xxx
the smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Bless the broken road. Random thought.
Gee-tar lessons are getting interesting. We changed the strings today and it's awesome. It felt awesome. I guess. And now.. we just need a tuner or a keyboard. 
I wish a certain someone would practice more. [:
Now we're like progressing into power chords and bar chords and picking. I like that? Power chords are really interesting. Doesn't really matter if I make some dead strings because I plan to correct it. Bar chords are horrible. My wrist feels confused. Weird expression because I don't know how to position my fingers.
Changing strings. Damn! Wish I could do it again on my own. Haha. But you need some strength and some extra tools. Then... I'm sure Taco is explaining about it so I'll leave it to her.

Tuning in to Island In The Sun by Weezer. It's a good song to learn. Still one of my favourite relaxing songs. Currently Mona Lisa by AAR. I swear the freaking thing is on random mode!

I can't wait for Monday. Why? Because The Wind Blows video is coming out and the pictures are wonderful at their main website. Yummeh pictures. And what's with Tyson in the desert scene? (:
xxx
Whoa. Listening to Move Along. On shuffle once again!

Guitars, guitars and guitars.
I'm still hoping.. wishing.. thinking.. What's really on my mind? [:
That beautiful light brown wood, sleek in the spotlight with shiny, smooth strings and pretty flowers luring you, making you want to pick it up just like that then admire that triangle-like logo on the headstock. I feel so tempted.
I'm not obsessed. I just can't wait to get another guitar. A really special sweet one. Long lost present. <3

I'm so, so, so glad that the Backstreet Boys are finally in the 21st century. I mean. No offence but you have to agree that you always prayed they would get a Myspace, Youtube and Twitter. Now they do.
Us, fans, are overjoyed. Updates, vlogs, blogs.
Brian keeps us entertained. Nick looks weird now. 
But he's funny. Howie, what's with that quick accent? Makes him sound really funny. A.J's beard.... No comment. They're all jokers. Haha! I like that. Incomplete without Kevin.
I also can't wait for them to release their album! You can hear the demo in background in one of the videos. Sounds awesome!
xxx
Yesterday... we watched The Making of The Wind Blows video. Not too long but reveals much.
Yeah. Me, being the freak, went to check their website and found out too late! Later than the other fanatics. ): But it's not too late now.
Sorry, I think I have to disagree with the video. A little.
I mean, the band playing in the beach is so damn awesome and calm. Especially when the wind blows their hair into a great mess. I find that so cool. You definitely have to laugh when you see Mike pour water out from his guitar's sound hole.
Nick's checkered shirt looks great on him. Makes him look wonderful, professional and I don't know what. Ask Taco for further opinions/words. I can't believe I used the word 'wonderful'. That's so classical and old school, don't you think? So I'll use the word AWESOME.
Anyway, the whole video is practically about Tyson, Tyson, Tyson and nothing but Tyson. Don't get me wrong, he's a great singer-songwriter and whatever. We like him. Yeah. With mom. We wouldn't count her out. So, it's about him and the girlfriend in the video. The girl isn't that pretty. Not as good looking as Kelsie, the redhead (However you spell her name. I remember it this way) who is stupidly great/pretty/whatever and Amanda, the cookie cutter's wife a.k.a the blond one from Gives You Hell vid.
It's all too mushy, you know. I mean, did you see the sappiness of the video? Cuddling and snuggling or snogging at the beach? Enjoying the view outside the window? Staring into each others eyes? Sorry. Don't you Tyson fans feel a little jealous?! It's too much for this song.
Then that dramatic part of Tyson standing in the water and not caring that waves are crashing against him. Whoa. Really. That must've been really cold. He looked terrible when he got out. I'm exaggerating but he's fine..
I'm just scared I guess. I love the song alot. I fell in love with it at first sound. I really, really love it and I hope the video won't spoil my whole impression. Like how that anime video of I Can Wait Forever did. Let's hope for the best. It's not enough. I don't believe in it. I'll just watch it for fun.
There should be more of the band. Like Gives You Hell. A good amount of the band and a good amount of Ty. ]:
Currently getting my daily dose of Swing, Swing. I need Time Stands Still as well. And now getting The Last Song daily dose!
Speaking of yesterday. I sent Taco a link of this smokin' video with a drunk and shirtless Nick rocking like a rocker in only a pair of jeans, shoes and a wristband. Of course, she didn't know what was gonna happen to her because I was cackling to myself. Then she demanded, "What's so funny about the video? Tell me now.. OMG!!!" ROFL!

There's something more that I should know.
I need to learn how to play while singing. That seems real hard now. Everything is. Especially when a person has absolutely no musical talents or self-belief. It's gonna be hard to concentrate. Imagine this - concentrating on the strumming pattern and where your fingers should be for the chord and the words you're gonna sing.
That's like the frog swim or whatever you call it. I'm really weird. It's like you have to concentrate on your hands and legs. Oh well.
And. And. And. And I like how guitarists do that last-strum thing. I don't what it's called but you strum downwards while moving your hand to the left. If you're a righty. You got that? You know what I mean, right? Like a flaw thing. They strum downwards. After the first string, they move their picking hand (is that what you call it? not the fretting hand) to the left (for right handed people). Then they place their hand into position again.
Never mind. You don't get it.

I haven't been posting much pictures since Chris Gaylor's buh-day.

Net is slow. More pictures tuh-mar-row. Enjoy this picture while you can.

Hot damn! Bobbing my head to Kid Rock's All Summer Long on loud speakers. It has the whole big booming bass effect. Awesome way to spend a Saturday!

I hope we're progressing.. on that Hinder thingy.
I guess it's okay to play it without the music. Ew. Haha!
Oh my God. I can't believe he's planning to teach us David Cook. Wait. Reading something that has me almost in tears. I mean, I can't believe people start out with a Fender Telecaster as their first guitar. Like OMG?! I can't believe it.. Why am I even talking about this?! Topic changing..
Anyway, we're doing okay I guess. I mean, you all like lie to us and tell us we're doing well but we're obviously not, right? I'm so paranoid. We're not. I'm thinking back. Web of lies. Who said that? I forgot. Spiderman? What am I talking about? I'm repeating that. Again. Whatever. Don't tell us if we're doing good or anything or improving. We don't wanna hear that. We wanna see you realise and notice. Right??
We need new strings. Nothing is leading us. We're not becoming real musicians. We should've learned the piano or keyboard or something first. But how do these people who teach themselves do it? Nobody ever gives us feedbacks so we're not gonna improve shiz. I admire people who teach themselves. Independent and responsible people. Of course, that's never gonna happen to me, right? I'm asking too many questions.. right?
We can't tune shiz. We can't understand shiz. We can't afford shiz. We started out bad shiz. We ain't responsible shiz. We suck at plucking. We can't read shiz notes. We only have one shiz.
Sounds like I'm rapping, huh? You don't like that. It's true. No one will listen to my ranting. You'll just read this and be like, "OH! How poor!" then you'll forget. You'll feel all emotional and sorry and enlightened then it'll all die down because no one is there to remind you. You'll be like, "I'm gonna practice more and be good from now on." Lies, lies and lies. No offence to anyone. This is all just coming out straight from my mind. My feelings. This is how a heart breaks, really. But have a little patience.
Our strings are gonna be dead and broken soon. We'll be using threads instead. The old strings shall be mended with super glue to stick back or to hang clothes. The old knobs (for tuning) will become the timer for the toaster. The old wood will become floorboards. I know this sounds ridiculous and emotional but that's how I'm feeling.
I thought today.. alot of things like what's happening now. Like how we learn to know the keyboard for the PC. Will learning be chords as easy? Getting used to eating spicy stuff. Getting used to chords? Having this routine and daily thing. Playing songs daily? Just let it shine; let it shine!
Sorry. Sorry I just offended everyone. Sorry I just told you my deep feelings. Sorry that I just showed you how much I don't care about this whole guitar thing. Sorry I failed to play like a pro after six months. Sorry I'm blaming you. Sorry I'm being such a fake emotional freak every time I touch this topic. Sorry I'm failing and falling terribly. Sorry I always say I'm giving up but I just can't let go. Sorry you won't believe me and just think I'm crapping for fun and for a new guitar but it isn't true. Sorry you aren't that serious. Sorry if you're gonna tell me why I don't try. Sorry I believe in anyone but myself.
Sorry it's too late. Sorry I feel like crying everytime I hear a great guitar strumming pattern. Sorry I force myself to watch acoustic live performances by great musicians and then feel jealous. Sorry I pretend to sound normal when I say I'm jealous. Sorry I'm so, so, so jealous of musicians. Sorry this is such a confession. Sorry I wrote so many posts sounding like that. Sorry I feel secretly impressed. Sorry I believe that others will progress faster. Sorry I always want to hear you talk sense when scolding us. Sorry I try so hard but feel so lame. Sorry words make it look easy. Sorry there are so many sorries here.
I just feel sorry for myself. I rest my case.
I secretly hope to advance to the electric guitar. I secretly miss Taka. [: I secretly hope someone will change their minds about buying one for us. I secretly think I'm gonna take years to finish this. I secretly wish I'll get a Gibson.
This is so lame of me. Whose gonna read this or even comment? (:
Rant, confessions. All done. Hope you understand now. I'll try to get over it.
Sorry when I said I was giving up a few times when it actually killed me that I didn't practice for a day.
Hic. Had one too many chocolates, I think.
three, don’t make me count to three again
We started loving a bunch of new songs. [:
I can't wait to get my AAR album. I think I'm being too annoying and pestering. Can't help it. Happy Ending is okaaaaaaay. I love the guitar parts and the bridge. You'll understand if you listen to it. Trying desperately to load Time Stands Still.

Tomorrow is a Friday. Good news!

Hinder?! Hinder?!!! You gotta be *bleep* me. It can't be happening. We should have never watched Without You on tv.
I'm not overreacting. Sorry that I don't really like their music. Now. I know it's just a song but... I just prefer Nickelback or something.
We're learning Hinder. Without You. Got that? Not gonna repeat.
I think my whole face turned from purple to blue to black when said, "Do you know Hinder?" Dang. Why didn't we think of Nickelback back then? Well, this song better be worth it. I wouldn't wanna sing it though..
One of us has to be Jeff Stinco and the other as Mike Kennerty. If you don't get that, that means lead guitarist and rhythm guitarist. No way. Plucking with the pick and that whole coolio strumming thing. Ok, anyway, we're pretty great with the chords. That's the bonus. But dead strings are so in with us.
xxx
I'll end this post here. And with this.
All American Rejects - Tournado - Happy Endings [:
I like how Nick closes his eyes and counts. And his Firebird. Duh!! I mean. Lost it. No dreaming of Firebirds.
when you walk my way..
I feel depressed.
I need a new pair of headphones but I have to save money for oh-so-wonderful other stuff. I'm probably gonna go deaf when one side conks out. I better start blasting music out loud then.
Yeah. Get pissed off and force me to try out that shizzy pilot headphones thing. The headphones are so tiny. What are they for? To clean my eardrums?
Listening to Mona Lisa makes me feel slightly weird at the intro.
Today I gave the other brother hell. Left him puzzled. [: Felt really good and I can't wait to do it again. *wicked laugh*
I can't believe the lead singer of Hinder is only 28 or something. What the... hell? And he has the same haircut since... since.... Disneyland was found. Mom doesn't wanna admit that she likes Tyson. And oh! Hinder is also from Oklahoma just like Ty. Weird.
I also can't believe that the SP craze has disappeared into the thin air. Will that happen to other bands? ): I feel like it's such a pity. I still check the fansites. It's become second nature. I can't seem to load Seb's new demo song. I wanna hear.. Pierre to Paul. I don't even listen to SP songs anymore. OMG, I feel so bad after saying that. I will and must keep my player on shuffle. I only listen to two albums now. Everyday.
I wonder and wonder and wonder how to improve on our guitar skills now. I did that during sch..l and I wondered if making your own music helps you. I guess I figured that all we need to know now is changing chords quicker and quicker and quicker plus tuning. Bad start for us, huh? Yeah, I'm entertaining myself because no one would give an opinion.
I can't bare these weeks of jealousy, embarrassment and regret chipping off my heart. Everytime I see someone in a music video holding an acoustic guitar or doing a guitar solo. It's killing me, sad to admit. Never thought it would happen.
Trying desperately to find out clear lyrics.. I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be.
