I haven’t blogged much today because I was playing “Metal Gear Solid 4” on my Ps3 most of the day. I’m halfway through the game right now and I’m trying to defeat the first boss called the Laughing Octopus. It’s a pretty tough boss to beat, it’s kind of a bitch to get through. “Metal Gear Solid 4” is an amazing game though, only thing I don’t like about it is that the game has too much storyline. I want action, to play the actual game, they’re making it feel like a movie or a TV show or somethin’. It’s a great game with amazing graphics, I wish the Snake character would be more playable, then watchable, know what I mean? I’ll review the game when I beat it.

In other news, my next GED class is Oct 20th, I’ll be going to those classes Mondays and Wednesdays nights starting that day. It’s exciting getting an education again. I feel more motivated on learning the same subjects you learned in high school then I did back then.

As far as what’s going on in the world of music, as you see, I put up a cover song of Oasis “Shock of the Lightning”, I like how it came out, it came out okay. I plan to put up more series of cover songs in my youtube channel. I’ve gotten to like playing cover songs again. I plan to put up more Clash covers, more Johnny Cash songs, and I want to learn some Eddie Vedder’s solo stuff from his “Into the Wild” soundtrack, plenty more covers planned in the works.

One of my favorite things to do in youtube, is watching unsigned and amatuer musicians putting up home videos of them playing either acoustic or electric guitar by themselves, just singing and playing songs whether it’s an original song or a cover. There’s a lot of talented people in youtube. I enjoy listening to unsigned talent in youtube a lot more than myspace. I don’t listen to music of other bands in myspace anymore, youtube is my place for that now. There are talented musicians all over the world that are in youtube, it’s amazing. You’d be surprised of what you find in there.

Soon I’ll be posting my favorite videos of other unsigned/amatuer musicians from youtube here in the blog. You see I’ve been promoting other musicians from youtube here in the blog once in a while, I plan on doing that more often soon. If I like the music of that unsigned artist, one of my favorite things to do is to help spread the word of their music.

As far as what’s up with my original music, I’ve been writing some tunes on my guitar, I just haven’t came up with lyrics or vocal melodies for them yet, but hopefully soon. I’ve been writing down lyric ideas and just messin’ around with them until I come up with something good.

Hopefully I’ll start writing some actual songs soon. I want to get a new demo CD in the works for the year 2009, it’s been a while since I did one. My last demo CD was made back in 2006 which I named it “Dedication”, I’m dying to get another new demo album done soon. It will happen in 2009 I hope. Just waiting for the right songs to come around for it. It’ll probably get recorded in a profesional local studio just like the last one.
