Life As It Is XVIII
I have just realized something... It is the 1st of December... The time draws near. December, a month where excessive celebratory events are to take place in lieu of all of our previous or current depressions. Yes, depression shall still continue after Christmas, but when midnight comes of December 31st, another event shall commence, and that is the rise of Y2KX (Year 2010). Come January, we shall all celebrate a wondrous decade of many segments and fragments of time dedicated to Y2K. December shall be the last month of this year where I make my decisions for the future, for my future to be more exact. December will be the last month of Y2K9 where I deal with 31 long days, one of those days being the beginning of The Winter Solstice, the shortest day/the longest night period (Wikipedia and scientists predict Dec. 21st @ 17:47 [5:47 p.m. for you people who can’t read military time yet]). I shall make use of that day for another holiday to myself (haha, yes, I like to turn equinoxes and solstices into holidays just for my own well-being).
A lot of people are still getting sick from the weather change, which is most unfortunate. I have not felt this sickness hit me yet, but I’m sure it will soon, which is why I must take lots of precautionary steps. Speaking of Change (in a non-political way xF), I’m tired of my family bugging me about my “size” or “body” or “figure” (specifically my mother). So I’m going to be taking extravagantly slow steps and going to be going for a casual jog to change the previously mentioned. The first is no drinking soda (which is extremely difficult cause I’m a large [no pun intended you assholes xD] soda fan). I am not sure about what my other necessary steps will be, but my special coach friend will be helping me guide my new lifestyle, health-wise.
For those reading this blog, remember that Light the Pilot will be playing a show @ The Trevi’s Entertainment Center on Dec. 18th! I would really appreciate it if all of you came out to support local music and our cause to playing music itself. I currently figured out what was wrong with a sound issue I was having before, and thank Buddha and God that it’s not my baby microKORG. My amp automatically “hushes” out a sound if the amp can’t handle a peaked amount of sound. But some of the keys on my microKORG are still broken, so I might take it to a Synthesizer Technician (my friend Ray knows one) and ask them to replace all the keys with new ones. And hopefully, if it doesn’t cost that much, I’ll ask for inverted key sets. While still pertaining to Light the Pilot, I’ve finally chosen a new piece of synth artillery. I have chosen to add Akai’s MINIAK to my choice of weapons. Not only will I use it for Light the Pilot, but hopefully I can squeeze some DJ $hr0ud3d productions with my microKORG, nanoKONTROL, and when purchased, my new MINIAK. I hope to go shopping with Light the Pilot soon. Heck, with some cash in our pockets and a great group of friends, what’s there to stop us from creating good music?
With lots of new things hitting all of us up in the future, I’m sure the future will be bright and filled with infinite opportunities, instead of a dark future filled with a gray life. I will not writing another “Life As It Is” moment until something more grandeur has happened in my life. But do expect blogs about Light the Pilot, The Holidays, Winter Solstice (I may ask some of you to celebrate such a wondrous event with me), and a Happy Y2KX!
