Finally forced myself to write another entry.

I am not really that responsible at writing these entries as much as I would like too. I stopped writing in my personal journal for a little bit because I got tired of wasting the paper saying everything miniscule that happened... "today, I went to go eat food. It was tasty. I layed around all day and played some guitar. Bla bla bla bla".

However, a few new things DID happen over the past 2 weeks.

Firstly, I got a new Digital Camera. 10 megapixels, thats amazing. I have a 4gb memory card for my camera, so I can record up to 2 hours of high quality video. The video quality isn't as good as the Sony, but it is a lot more smoother quality and doesn't auto-focus as much.

The auto-focus got really annoying for my Sony, so I now use it for photography more. Since I have Adobe After Effects and Rock Band 2 back, like no joke. PiP, PiP,PiP. Super crazy, super fun to play around with. I blew up my own mind with the amazing things I created with it. I experimented with a Bodhisattva Gold Star video, turned out really nicely...ish.. The new set-up for camera angles are going to be more direct. Thats better.

We learned how to import custom songs on RawkSD for the Wii, but since our Wii isn't set up yet, we can't do it yet. Props to my friend Matt for FCing View From The Afternoon even though the chart was half incorrect. Hahahaha. So yeah, we're working on 2 projects right now for RawkSD.

Francis Hates L4D - Full Band custom (drums is done, amazingly fun but hard)
Asian Girl Song - Full Band RBN Custom (free on Wii, nothing is recorded yet)

Speaking of recording, I found the copy of Magix Music Maker in a pile of stuff, I popped the CD in and started recording a random song. I call it... The IHOP Song, dedicated to those who go to IHOP to fool around... Matt... AGAIN. It's hilarious, there's so many really fast licks in the song and the song ends in a really fast progression. When I wrote it, I was trying so hard not to laugh while recording. So yeah, I also created a video introduction. You can see it on my YouTube channel...

I finally thought of a cooler stage name than "Sammy Boy". I just decided to use my real name, which is Hyunwoo. It sounds a lot cooler than...
"NOW INTRODUCING! THE NEWEST BAND MEMBER OF BOO BEAR KILLEM AND COMPANY! SAMMY BOY ON GUITAR!!"
Like, I get it, we're a jazz band. But... really.. Sammy Boy is not going to cut it. Hyunwoo is mildly better than Sammy Boy. Atleast it keeps me away from confusion with the song "Danny Boy".

The new band is coming along very good. We just practice during school, Desean brought his gigantic keyboard the other day. It was absolutely crazy, it reminded me of the one Jordan from Dream Theater had... and yes, it is THAT big. It sounded amazing too, almost like a REAL piano playing.

My old band, Behind Last Place is on hiatus, however that does not mean that all work stops at BLP. Currently I am trying to get an endorsement from DiMarzio pickups and Tama drums after we release our EP. I saw the Monkey Lords do it, so why can't we if we put our hearts in it? Plus we might get colorful low resistance cable cords! If you play electric guitar, you gotta go for DiMarzio. Nothing really beats DiMarzio in my oppinion.

I am proud to be playing HS-3s and the YJM (HS-4s). Best pickups I've played ever.

I have 2 projects to work on. All are featuring DiMarzio pickups and straps. There is "H-1 S", my main guitar. It is going to have a Super Vee installed for floating goodness, and some HS-3 and YJMs. That will be settled very soon. Now, the other project is going to be the complete opposite of "S" in some sort of way. I am going to call it "H-2 YSP". It's going to be an S Prestige Ibanez in red and black, it is going to have 2 humbuckers (X2N and EVO2) and a single coil (Super Distortion). It'll give the guitar more of a crisper and brighter tone than "H-1 S". I could probably make a white "YSP" right now if I have 38000 more yen,Friesta has a S Prestige Ibanez for 40000 yen.

Thats all for now, I gotta sleep. I have school.
