It's not easy being an analog guy in a digital world. That's what this blog's name is about if you haven't figured that out already. I hope you have, otherwise you're stupid - which wouldn't be a huge surprise, most people are these days. NOFX are right when they sing that the idiots are taking over. I mean, it wasn't just Bush, just look at kids today and tell me they're NOT stupid. You're lying!
Another thing I hate, not only because it makes me feel old, but because it's fucking annoying, is when you're out pubing or clubing and a bunch of seventeen- or eighteen-year-olds come in and demand the space and attention. Sometimes I find myself sitting in the bar with my pint (the much smaller, less tastier Swedish version of the pint that is) and just listening to their STUPID FUCKING EXCUSE FOR A CONVERSATION. Maybe that's a little bit unfair though, given that they're probably drunk as hell, but it's the same stupid conversations when I'm in, say, the mall or McDonald's (although I try my best at avoiding stepping inside the American embassy - I haven't been to McDonald's since August).
Over a year and a half ago I bought a bass guitar. I think the time has come to learn how to play it. It does look very nice in the corner down in my basement living room (think Foreman's basement, only modern and with a huge Street Fighter poster covering one wall), right next to my Super Nintendo console, but it's getting a bit dusty. The basics has eluded me so far, partly because I threw away the instructions-CD on the drunk when my bass-playing friend convinced me that I should learn it without any such newbie help, like he did. It took me a while to realize that he's not quite as tune-deaf as I am.
Anyway, so far I've only put together a few tunes of my own, very simple, and I use it just as relaxation. I tried to learn a couple of Offspring songs but that was too hard for me, at least now. That's why I've put "A booklet with Beatles songs for the bass" on my Christmas wish-list. If all goes well, by February I'll be Paul McCartneying your asses back to Hell. I'll let you know.
