I'm doing 37 things
I’ve been thinking about past failures lately, and concluded they are not so different from being rejected by a girl. Usually, when I think about these moments, I feel shame. But ever since I tried asking that girl out, I feel like I should feel proud of myself for even trying! There’s no shame in failing, only honor.

It’s been 2 days now, since I was rejected by that girl, and I’m getting a little worried about myself. I don’t feel despair, or sad for being rejected, or anything. Instead I am now feeling apathetic to the thought of visiting Muse with a date altogether. It just doesn’t seem to excite me anymore! Right now I am actually kind of waiting for some form of motivation, or something. I hope it comes soon! Because, even if I don’t visit Muse with a date, I’d like to think at the very least that I have tried my best.
About maybe 2 months ago my mixer broke. I had it checked by a friend, who had tried what he could, but ultimately concluded that it was beyond repair. I was a little disappointed, but it had served me well for about 8 years. I found a great replacement of the same brand. It’s very similar to the one I had, but slightly smaller, plus it’s more suitable for a digital studio and is surprisingly not too expensive! I’m hesitating to go and buy it right now though, since I’ve spent quite a bit of money these past months already.
My friend returned the broken mixer, and as I took it home with me, ideas boiled up inside my head. Since it was broken, why not give it another check for parts I could salvage? I could swear I had seen a PCB connector inside of there that would fit right into the Microkorg. Upon checking, I was right!
The original PCB connector of the Microkorg has 6 pins, and the wires are colored like a rainbow. They run towards two different linear potentiometers, better known to musicians as a “Pitch wheel” and “Modulation wheel”. I figured now that I have found some new wiring, I could experiment by connecting other different potentiometers, such as sliders or knobs from the broken mixer. Maybe one of these could serve as a suitable new pitch or vibrato controller for the neck of the keytar?
