Yes, it's true, i'm back with a new blog!! I know, your all very excited as am I because i'm pretty sure i've got a bit to say. First off i'll tell you to look at the right side of your screen at the new list of songs i'm digging at the moment. Snazzy ain't it? Instead of being songs that help it's been changed to songs i'm digging at the moment which i'll be updating as frequently. Also, i've managed to start my new years resolution list. For the time being we can half check the part about being more social. I am now part of a youth group called LIFT which I started last friday. I had such an amazing time there. Some of the things the leader of LIFT spoke about kinda made me rethink a lot of what I thought I knew. Plus I met some pretty cool people and i'm really excited to keep going back.
There's a point and time in every guys life (no matter how much they'll deny it) that they have this obsession with a musical instrument, be it guitar, drums, bass or anything. For me i've had this happen to me a fair few times. When I was younger I wanted nothing more than to play the drums. I asked for them for two years straight and my parents never gave in. So the urge to play went away. When i was 14 the urge to play guitar kicked in. I'd been listening to a lot of green day, U2 and billy talent so naturally I wanted to break out a guitar and play some Longview, Sunday Bloody Sunday or River Below. This time my parents gave in. I ended up taking lessons for about a year, but they didn't really pay off. Usually I'd bring in a song i'd wanna learn and my teacher would listen to the track a few times then teach me the song. Pretty lame to do for over a year. From there on out I just played guitar whenever the mood struck me. Like yesterday for example, I picked it up and started trying to play Bobcaygeon by the tragically hip. It didn't sound good but I strummed away regardless of the wrong notes.
Anyways, now I have this weird urge to learn how to play harmonica. I haven't actually listened to a lot of songs with harmonica parts in them but learning how to play would be pretty awesome in my books. I actually can't get the thought of going out to the park by my house, sitting in a tree and just playing some harmonica....
