Today’s my birthday. My mom’s the only person that remembered. Oh well. I checked the calendar in my English class and somebody wrote “No one’s birthday” for today. It really hurt my feelings.

Chillin’ with Dylan

Spring break yeahhh. It’s boring staying at home all the time but it’s better than going to school. I really haven’t been doing much lately but I’ll try to make this entry as long as possible.

First of all, I’ve got a music MySpace thing for acoustic black metal songs. They’re not really acoustic black metal but they’re close.

Band of Thieves

I cleaned up a corner of the storage room in my house so I can record stuff. My dad gave me the computer I used when I was in elemenatry school so I can record things on it. He bought a really cheap soundcard so I can record but the computer is really slow and it really sucks so I think I’m just gonna go back to recording in my bedroom.

My mom bought me a guitar. It’s a Dobro.

Then a month or two ago I bought an autoharp.

She took me to Half Priced books and I got some cool stuff. An original pressing of a Lou Reed record, a Flatt & Scruggs record, a 1980 copy of The Last Unicorn, and Emma by Jane Austen.

After my dad helped me out with the computer stuff and my mom bought me a guitar and waited for like an hour and a half at Half Priced Books even though she only wanted one thing and how they drive me to somewhere I wanna go every once in a while and it made me think about how they’re good people, I guess, but nobody in my family has really been an ideal family member, but family is still pretty good anyway. And I remember back in middle school how my mom would buy me a CD or two every month at Sound Exchange, and not the inexpensive noncommercial Plan It X kinda stuff but the expensive record label kinds that are like $10 to $20 and she didn’t care and I don’t listen to them much anyway ’cause I ripped them onto my computer. And my dad bought me a photo printer for no reason and probably bought like over a thousand CD-r’s for the whole family to use, if you count them up over the years, but I maybe only regularly listen to 50 now. If you think about all the CD-r’s you bought, out of all of them, how many do you still listen to now? I really want to know because CD-r’s are expensive but they’re really useful. I really hope I’m not draining my parents’ expenses with CD-r’s and guitars and computer equipment and stuff. Well I don’t really think it’s that much because I never asked for much stuff until around a little less than a year ago, but still, I wouldn’t be able to afford it.
