Winter break has been pretty good thus far. I've been practicing my guitar hardcore, a few hours a day, and have noticed an improvement since break started. I've learned "Here Comes the Sun" and am currently working on the Jeff Buckley version of "Hallelujah", which is quite a challenge but I'm enjoying it. And I've tried writing some of my own music, but to no avail. I'm excellent with lyrics (if I do say so myself, which I do), but I can't write a melody to save my life. Right now I mostly come up with folk-sounding stuff that is ridiculously simple, but I figure with time and practice it'll improve. It's just difficult because I like to have the music before I start writing lyrics, instead of basically writing poetry and trying to force music into it. But oh well.
Last week was fun; I got to hang out with Lucius and his friend Mike for New Year's Eve, and we all got rather intoxicated and went walking around Willingboro for a little while. I drank too much (which I intended on doing from the get-go) and realized that I get a little too emotional when I drink a lot, so I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I party. It ended up for the best though, as I ended up getting some things off my chest that I had meant to for a while, though admittedly my drunken state wasn't the best way to do it. All in all it was a great night; I got to spend some time with one of my bestest buds which was a nice treat.
A couple days after that I went down to Atlantic City with Jackie and some of her family and friends for her birthday. We had a lot of fun dancing at this 70s- and 80s-themed club at the hotel, though I learned the hard way to find out how much drinks are before purchasing them ($7 a shot is FUCKING RIDICULOUS). Lesson learned. It was worth it though, if only to hear Jackie ramble on about how sober-drunk she was. Twas quite funny.
Yesterday I went and saw Avatar in 3D with my sibs and grandparents. I have to disagree with my brother's claim that it's the greatest movie of all time, but it was pretty sweet. I'd recommend it.
I miss my Wendy. <3
Peace, love, and fiddlesticks,
Justin
