In Between Days

I won't be continuing my other blog post for awhile. I want to express myself this time. I mean, express my thoughts at the very moment.

It's already 1:55 AM in my laptop's clock. Somehow sleepy already.

Around 2 hours ago, I was trying to create new material for our band. I just made a 2 stanza stuff, but i don't if it is "luckily" or "unluckily", it some kind of not-a-great-one. So I stopped and let myself do something that I knew I'm gonna be productive.

While browsing my music player, I first saw Mayday Parade's "Kids In Love". I grabbed my guitar and played it. Still bored, I browsed my list again, and found an "unfinished" project. It was Katy Perry's "Thinking of You". Yeah right, I know it's some kind of a "whoa man, you're listening to that song?" thing, but let me clear myself out.

The song was pretty challenging for me. It was kinda a pop-rock or just a pop but we are a rock band, so I have to make it sound great to our band. It was a pressure being the one who manages the guitar that sings. And again, after trying many times, I tried again to create guitar licks and solos for it.

It was some kind of a blessing in disguise for me not being "too inspired" to write today. 'Cause I was clearly "more inspired" to create licks. As an avant-garde guitarist, I tried to formulate a lick that would fit to the "missing link" of the song. And fortunately, I finished it. I finished the lick already, and surprisingly, I also had some modifications for the verses and other parts of the song.

Even though I finished the lick, I wasn't successful still at create a great guitar solo. Making me stick to the first idea I had.

Meanwhile, I'm still hearing my sister and cousin talking from the next room.

The start of classes will be a day from now. No idea nor imagination to what will happen on that day. I really want to go to school already, considering different factors. These factors include daily allowance, reunion with classmates and jamming with my bandmates. But there's one thing that prevents me to loving the start of classes. It's the required short hair for all male students.

I haven't visited the barber shop for around 3 months, making my hair grow in between 1 to 2 inches long. And I like it. I don't want to have short hair again. It really looks bad, real bad. But it's an order to be follow though. So I guess, I have no choice. Damn!

Well, I bet this entry will end here.
