this is number 300

this is post number 300. i have never done anything consistently for 3 times, let alone 300. waking up every morning doesn't count, because if i had my way, waking up would be... selective. that way i could only choose to wake up on the good days and skip the bad ones all together. and i am embarrassed to say that i once slept for 25 hours and skipped a day altogether.

so i should be happy. yet i am not.

i tried to write a song, and failed miserably. the lyrics were forced, and rubbish to start with. the chord progressions are repetitive and dull. and to add insult to injury, my prized possession, my pride and joy, has decided to ditch me and stopped working completely. and i don't know what is wrong with it.

being the electrical engineer that i am, i would have liked to say that it was a piece of cake to fix. but the reality is i have no clue what is going on inside with all the components and wires. it's too complex to grasp. i am doomed.

and i am having a hard time looking for a record store. it's not that there aren't any, it is just that they are always inundated with all the mando-pop malarkey. no offence to fans of the genre, it's personal taste. i just detest the manufactured and formulaic way most of those "music" are produced.

this might come off as hypocritical, but i refuse to pirate music. that's about the only thing i don't pirate. i believe that if you like an artiste, you should buy their records. that way they will continue to make good music for many years to come.

i wonder what i'm going to feel when the post count hits 666. i'd better be praying my ass off.
