Life before exams

April 21 2007
School sucks.  On to fun stuff.

I got a keyboard for my birthday, which makes things superfantabulastic if I have free time, which I don't.  So late at night when I should be sleeping or something, I play keyboard and guitar and try to work towards being the awesomest thing since sliced Elvis bread with bananas and iced tea or something.

Anyway, I'm enjoying those fleeting moments of realization that I have lost a lot of my musical prowess (I didn't have much to begin with) since Easter.  EASTER!  Three weeks ago!  I can't have lost it that quickly, right?  Maybe it's because I haven't been sleeping.  And that I'm crammed into a dorm room in such a way that I have to reach a couple of feet (yes, that's about fully-extended arms) to play the piano.

Incidentally, I am improving on the guitar and have written a song inspired by the ongoing crisis in Darfur.  I put together a slide show involving propaganda pictures of children starving to death or burnt and scarred by bombs or such things.  Yes, I am going for an emotional reaction.  Anyway, I'm going to see if my church will let me do the song with the slides; I know they won't, but I can at least ask, right?  So that will be an interesting conversation.

Anyway, I'm tired of blogging at the moment.  Check ya'll later.
