Enter Sandman: Getting My First Guitar
Another day another dollar. Sike I’m still laid off and Pacific Coffee sucks. It’s kinda late right now and I’m binging the Casey Neistat vlogs again. I don’t know why it’s just really interesting to watch. Just a generally cool guy that’s why he’s my favorite YouTuber. Bummer he doesn’t make the same stuff anymore. He moved to LA which sucks cause like New York City was his biggest thing. Anyways not a very interesting day today. Also hella fun: between now and my last entry, my guitar came so I’m hella excited. Apparently, it takes 400 hours of practice on anything to gain a basic proficiency so I’m excited to get going. I think it would be cool to shred. I’m learning the intro to Back in Black which is more difficult than it actually seems. One problem is that pressing down on the strings especially the high notes it hard and it hurts my fingers. Apparently I’ll get the callous sooner or later but for now I gotta suck it up. I’ve been using this really cool guy’s tutorials on YouTube called Marty’s Music. It’s kinda difficult to learn at first but I’ll get through it with a lot of practice. My guitar costed $480 RMB plus $129 HKD for shipping. But it’s for the entire set of literally everything. I don’t know how but it was an amazing deal and I’m super happy that I didn’t have to shell out 2k for just the guitar. I painted the No Stairway To Heaven sign on the wall above my door which is pretty cool. Wayne’s world reference which may or may not be one of my favorite movies. Nothing on the Violet front. I saw a picture of her on somebody’s Instagram story which kinda made me upset. She didn’t look upset and she hung out with a lot of friends so I guess she’s over it. Figures. I mean, she played me like a fool and it doesn’t even bother her. I’m such a fucking idiot. I was just so caught up with her to take a step back and realize what was happening. I rushed it and now we’re done. Just like that, an entire month down the drain. She doesn’t care at all which hurts and she’s unbothered. Okay I don’t want to go all the way back into it but the point is, it still kinda hurts but I’m focusing on myself. I’m currently on a social media blackout and I’m feeling pretty good about it. That’s kinda it I guess. Not a lot more to say. Thinking about getting a diagonal wall mount for my electric guitar. Want to put it above my head and I reckon that would be cool.
