Crap crap crap... and Rock Band Tournament Tomorrow!!!

First... why the crap crap crap part?

I forgot to write in my journal yesterday. I broke the streak of awesomeness. I was chatting with Kristine and Leann so it slipped my mind to write in my journal. So I guess I'll have more to write about? I'm not entirely sure. I just write as I go.

I just finished eating dinner with Uncle Yusuke (or Takamoto-san, the guy who gave me the Yngwie custom), it was a barbeque of Korean foods. Let me tell you, everything tastes different in Japan. It is so weird. It's still delicious, but different. The galbi had more sugar content making the outside have a nice coating that you normally see in wet rub barbeques. The sausages are extremely sweet, but unbelievably delicious. The vegitables remain the same... except I found out that my parents don't cook the stalk of the broccoli. Are you kidding me? Thats the best part!!! EVERR!!!

Second crap crap crap, my friend is thinking of quitting guitar? Is he serious? I mean he has serious talent and thinks of the catchiest chord progressions! I was planning on recruiting him for Afterlife. His reason is the following :
...a minute ago.
"im not awesome at guitar im barely average, and im losing hope in the guitar now."

This is to all the people who say they're not awesome at guitar:
Shredding your axe is not easy. It took me 5 years to be able to shred on my guitar. (By the way, shredding is another word for a combination of sweep picking and fast picking progressions) I still can't even do it as good as I want to. As long as you have your basics for guitar, you're considered awesome because a majority of the people who own a guitar CAN'T even do the basics! Those people are the douche bags of guitar society. They think they're so tight or something because they can hold a guitar really low and move their fingers really fast to a chromatic unscaled pattern. It takes time and patience to be able to produce something worthwhile! If you still don't think you're good enough then look at the Worst Guitarists Ever on YouTube!

Okay so.. yeah, third crap crap crap today is going to be... missing my friends I guess? I had to be like talking to them on the phone for like, 3 hours today straight with Amanda, Federica, and Leann. I never talked on the phone THAT long unless I was playing Rock Band with Clay and Drew... sorry, I'm a nerd, and we don't have a XBOX360 like everybody. I miss my little sisters, my band mates from Behind Last Place, my school friends, my older brother... ish because he's visiting soon. I'm going to spend a lot of time on the phone this weekend.

So yeah, I just finished making another song, it's in the dangerous Drop C tuning. Sean told me it was way to low for my strings, I beg to differ. I'm going to have to go down to the arcade again to buy myself some not rusty strings. I also need to buy new strings for my other Fender, the S Guitar. Also my friend told me about a store near the Genza that has electronic drums! YES!!!

We're also going to be performing at the Harborview Club sometime. It might be a Behind Last Place reunion, because I'm going to eventually perform with Brady there. Right now we're just going to be Afterlife for a bit.

Also, ROCK BAND TOURNAMENT TOMORROW! LETS KICK SOME ALLEN!! (Inside joke)
