release a music album
Woah, it's been forever, 43things. 2 years ago

I completed my first album during last years NaSoAlMo. It wasn’t really that good, but it was a solo acoustic sort of thing, never got around to releasing it cause it’s embarassing. :[

Though about a month later I completed a noise album and a noise split and released both of those.

Now I’m on the road to making a second acoustic/folk rock album, and have a live set of my noise/experimental group recorded that I hope to count as an official release.

Yeehoo it was great.

And I’m gonna go again and again and again ad infinitum. It’s great stuff.



Learn Dvorak
Untitled 3 years ago

Alright.

So, at the beginning of next month I’m buying a new keyboard and rearranging the letter structure on it and switching to dvorak for good.



get everyone in the world to watch Arrested Development
Untitled 3 years ago

I have certainly told many many people about the show ever since its inception…

but everybody in the world? COME ON!
I can’t turn illusions like that.



Open a Swiss bank Account
Untitled 3 years ago

I was playing Day Of The Tentacle today and it made me think of this goal.

Aah, crazy Dr. Fred.

So…
Can either of us sing?



Learn acoustic guitar (read all 2 entries…)

Now I’ve just got to find that goal that says “Learn how to play acoustic guitar better than I can presently.”

Or something similar.



die happily
Untitled 3 years ago

This goal is kindof absurd and rather unreachable.

Well not unreachable in the aspect that you’ll not be able to achieve this, just…it’s kinda taking up space in my 43things. Even when I complete it, I won’t be able to check it off as I’d be DEAD.

I’m going to see JD and PPH at Pitchfork Music Festival, it’ll be wonderful.

I’ve been waiting about five years for this moment.
Does John autograph stuff? As far as my research can tell me, I don’t think he does, never seen any evidence of it.

And I’d really like to get either my copy of Philyra, or Orange Raja/Blood Royal signed.



tell others what I really feel...when I feel it
Untitled 3 years ago

I have a feeling this goal and the one beneath it are the hardest ones on my list.

But oh, how wonderful it would be to say “I have done this.”



exercise regularly
Untitled 3 years ago

I bike tons of places, in college I played frisbee for 2 +hours a day 3 times a week, and I plan on keeping that up during the summer. I think I’m getting a hell of a lot more excersize than I did long ago, and that’s good.



give up caffiene
Untitled 3 years ago

It really is fantastic. Caffiene apparantly supressed the vividity of my dreams, and it’s just crazy how detailed they are now.

Also, it doesn’t even feel like you’re giving up anything.
So you should do it.

I believe we got a few songs down.



Play "Saria's Song" on the guitar
Untitled 3 years ago

YAHA!

It’s a fn song.



watch all episodes of arrested development
Untitled 3 years ago

One of the best shows EVER.

For serious. I’ve purchased both SE1 and 2 DVDS, watched Season 3 (thus far) numerous times, and eagerly await the two hours season finale on Friday.

Screw the olympics, get arrested.



Donate blood
Untitled 3 years ago

Donating blood is such a good thing to do. I’ve only done it twice already, but it’s not at all painful. Then again, I grew immune of needles having spent a large porton of summer 2005 with them pricking me and such.

It’s very exciting, and it makes you feel good, donating your blood in hopes of helping somebody live their life a little bit better.

There really isn’t a reason you shouldn’t donate your blood if you’re capable of doing so.



drive a golf cart
Untitled 3 years ago

It was pretty cool, at some island (I cannot remember the name for the life of me) in Lake Erie, I drove a golf cart around the place. It was pretty badass, I almost wrecked it.



graduate high school
Untitled 3 years ago

Back in Spring 2005, I graduated AHS.

High school was such a blast. I really loved good old JM Atherton. It was kind of sad, but for the most part really enjoyable.

I feel kind of bad for those people who hate high school and just want to get out, I knew somebody who took everything so seriously in my year, saying how stupid everybody was and yatta yatta, ranting all about it on his livejournal..and the thing is, the students there were probably the best you could find in a very large radius, and he would’ve had a more enjoyable experience if he didn’t take everything so seriously.



see a meteor shower
Untitled 3 years ago

I did witness what I thought was a meteor shower, hell, it may have indeed been a meteor shower, but it just wasn’t fufilling. I saw maybe 4 things pass across bits of the sky, I’d love to see a meteor shower on a dark night, with the clouds carefully placed at the edges of my vision.

Ooh that’d be fantastic.



Learn acoustic guitar (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 3 years ago

I’m getting a whole lot better at this I can see that. I’ve been playing guitar for about a month now, and I’m glad at the process I’ve made.

Still it’s hard to do some strumming and mute strings for me.

and getting the B and F chord down are a bitch.
