I'm off to go practice these damn scales. Any other scales you think I need to touch up on? Is there such a scale as the frigarian scale, or am I just insane? What, scratch that last part, we already know the answer to that.

Anyway I need to give some props to my bro over here. I mean my little brother. Sort of helped with the lyrics and was the general inspiration for the song, a song aptly named This is the Asshole Song. Anyway I should link to his profile. What is it? AnotherDefault? Spam him all you want he rarely shows up on this site anyway. He wont mind... or will he? I just don't know.
He wrote most of the first verse, I wrote most of the second and the third is pretty much equally split. The chorus practically wrote itself, but it was mostly written by my brother. I of course did the music and I played it composed it, sung it... all that crap. Oh noes you can hear my voice! Not that I have never uploaded anything with my voice before... but this might be the first time on sticks. I might retry recording, but I'm surprisingly happy with the results. I didn't release i could sing... when the fuck did that happen. Even if it's not perfect it was still better than I expected.
And the song title explains it all. It's about assholes. You know who I'm talking about. Those assholes real and fictional... but I'm sure it's mostly real. I don't know them personally but I know that somewhere out there they exist. Waiting to fuck everything up just because they can and it's what they do. Keep your eyes out, else you'll might find yourself in their wake.

Firstly I hate all even numbers, throw them all out... don't care for any of those. The numbers I like are every other number in the multiples of three (or whatever tyhere called) 3, 9, 15 etc. And any number in the fives 5, 10, 15 and on. Now just becuase fifteen is in there doesn't mean I like it more than others, actually my favorite umber would probibly be nine. second favorite would either be three or five. Smaller numbers are simpler and more interesting. Five more becuase of Discordian than anything else, but I never disliked the number. And I don't know why nine, it's just an interesting number... it is three three times over. Also I don't understand why I don't care for the numbers six and twelve.
Lars is sick... that's right, my laptop. The charger is broken. I plug it in and it makes a sort of electronic pulsing sound... which is pretty cool. Sounds fascinate me, but that's beside the point. The sound is likely cuased by some fucked up wiring. I can get a new charger online for maybe thirty, but you know how much I hate credit cards... or even banks. I want my money on hand, I don't want my money in those vultures grasps. But unfortunately becuase of that I can only ever buy things offline, you know that place... the real world. Fortunately, I can buy either a charger for my computer for eighty bucks at best buy or a universal charger for over one hundred at radio shack. Obviously I'd prefer the charger that wouldn't need an adapter, which is also cheaper. But it's five dollars more than I have, and if I manage to scrape together five dollars than I'll have nothing left after buying the charger. Which wouldn't usually bother me... but I mighht need that money if I go to Boston in a few months.
But let's see, a laptop that actually works, or an Anime Convention... well I never really was a big fan of anime... and I use my laptop for just about everything... so... yeah if I can get that five dollars I'll diffenately be spending it on that charger. In the end I have no choice, all my music, all my documents, all my pdfs for RPGs are on that computer... and I never really got around to backing them up.
So yeah... that's why I hate numbers.

I chose Russia, in retrospect maybe it wasn't the greatest choice since I don't have any Russian folk instruments and Russian music is culturally diverse. I'm wondering if I should try to familiarize myself with Russian music, probably folk music and than I'll rock it out.
I'm nearly out of time. It's not that I haven't done anything, in fact I have the basic structure of my song fleshed out... I just don't know if I'll really be able to add anything to it. Recording things right takes a lot of time... I could probably spend a few days working on it but it's likely that the recording would be pin pretty piss poor shape.
So I played around with whatever scale that tetris song was in. Liked the results... but I'm not sure that the song will be all that impress once I submit it to the contest. The best time I'll have to submit will probably be next thursday (but I might have a chance to upload this weekend, I think the entry date is next sunday) when I have access to a connection that doesn't take twenty minutes to load the front page, let alone uploading music. I haven't really heard the other peoples entries because my connection is so poor right now... maybe I'll have a chance later this week though.
uploaded the song. I'm banned from the forums so I wont be able to announce the upload yet. Maybe I can send a private massage to the person who made the contest. Or maybe I can wait until later in the day when my ban is lifted, than I'll find the thread in the audio forums and announce it then.

But now the opportunity to use the internet is a lot less as this old monolith of a machine starts to run down... and also I haven't the energy or the time for the newgrounds shenanigans.
So for the very few on this site who would notice my inactivity. I'll try to lurk and post as much as I can. And submitting will happen soon, as soon as I have a chance.

This can not be.
Doom is imminent.
I was out and about. I saw the temperature. It's brutal out, it was like twenty below. My god, this is the kind of weather that kills. Than it went ten degrees higher. I don't know if I can take this heat for much longer.

I deleted anything that was less than 3.90, it wasn't that difficult. I think that some of my greatest works went out the window today, Indisposed was brilliant. My newest song was really great too, the zero bombers didn't even give that one a chance. It was the last straw, I had really put a lot of effort into that song.
I think I'll post a new song, I'll give it about a day, I wont vote on it. I'll check on it tomorrow and if it isn't higher than 3.90 I'll get rid of it. I may not give it that chance, or maybe I'll post it another day and try it than. We'll see...
So looking over the grades of my song the highest is tied. between Skyline March and Slippery, both have 4.17. The lowest would go to the Iron Vice/dullrustyblade loop, but technically I couldn't delete that lop because it was in a game so it's not qualified. The true winner would be Waiting in the Terminal, admittedly that song is pretty bad. Other songs that I wouldn't have expected to survive are Slippery, Nirtous Oxide, Malinger and the third Intake.
Songs I would have liked to keep would have been Iron Vice, Indisposed, Dance Silverfish, Portmanteau, Schadenfreude and Frozen Fields. But if there beauty will be ignored than they shall not be shared. If you think this was an immature reaction well, maybe it was... but than again if no one liked the songs than taking them away isn't really a punishment, it really doesn't matter. I still think they're great... better than the music that's been out lately... but not as good as the rock/rap/dance music before 1997, I never claimed my music was better than the good years. I suppose there have been a few exceptions since but music these days is shit, and I'd choose my crap over mainstream shit any day.
Posted that song and than I deleted it withen the hour, said if it had less than a 3.90 it would go and before two ours it had 0.98 it wasn't going to recover from that by tomorrow. I know people just zero bombed it because I said I'd delete it if they did. I don't trust this sight for advice becuase people never review and when they do it's never helpful criticism it's always, "This is BAD!" That isn't helpful at all, that's just stupid. and when they say, "This is good." than that isn't helpful either. And when they give advice it's usually like, "I don't like this kind of music." or when I make a song that is supposed to be an electric dance song they say, "Use instruments" and if I use guitar they say, "Take out the guitar." now wait I was told to use an instrument and so I do that, than when I use one they tell me not to use an instrument. Well that's not bloody helpful\ at all!

But I'm liking the sound of this tuning. I've also been working on a lot of new rifts, it's too much though... I'm gunna have to sloooooooww dooowwwwn. I don't know, I was also working on another project but I keep getting ahead of myself and starting new songs before I finish old ones. That's me, no focus at all. In order for me to finish anything I have to sit down and get it all done in one setting. But the thing is I get bored very quickly, and I'm very easily distracted. Like right now...

If you want to listen to a christmas song/here me try to rap/share in my dislike of christians than check it out. If you happen to be a devote christian than you should turn the other cheek or just not listen to the song or whatever. I don't hate christians I just don't trust there belief system. And I found a song I could recreate easily and I could angrily shout some random shit... if you have a problem with that than get out of my face.
Got new guitar strings. I'm extremely delighted and excited. Should I be that happy about new guitar strings? Is that sane? Have I ever been sane? Well... not... it's not. It's a bit symptomatic actually. And it's not very buddhist of me, there is a religion I can respect... If I have to have an extastential/spiritual crisis it's good to know I'll have buddhism to turn to.
