I looked through the CWI book.
It’s a crock-pot full of steamy bullshit. There’s a chapter called: “Shopping Skills.” I sacrificed any shot I had at a decent education so I could bend my schedule to allow for… “SHOPPING SKILLS?!” I don’t give a FUCK!

Most excellent, as far as shirts go. This is going on my birthday wish list.
I wish I could post the music I write on Tumblr, but it only takes mp3 files, and in order to convert the electronic .mus files to mp3, I lose the original instrument library, and the music sounds really tinny and artificial. It really isn’t worth it. If you want MIDI files of my work, email me at hatchettdan@gmail.com. They’ll work on any Windows computer, and will sound the same way...

Lolololol. I have 793 posts.
I have only 5 followers, though. Ich bin ungeliebt und für immer allein, wie du sagst…
Post 200
The sad part is, I really honestly have nothing worthwhile to say…
I have a headlight out, my driver’s side front window won’t roll down, my driver’s side rear window will roll down… then refuse to roll back up sometimes. My rear-view mirror fell off again. I get 19 mpg… in a sedan, My alternator is going out, my transmission hiccups, I have a idle hesitation problem caused by delayed oil blowback, and my paint is flaking. 1991 Ford...
Only one day left! I hope I get first lunch next semester…
A well-deserved rant
Who the fuck came up with the phrase, “blowing smoke up my ass?” Seriously? “Pulling my leg” wasn’t vulgar enough? Apparently they were deceived to the point that they needed to think of an act so surreal, inexcusable, and intrusive that nobody could fathom actually performing it.
Speaking of vulgar, inconceivably disrespectful subjects, Micah J. Fox has been...
Reading a book by Cornel West. I feel so conflicted, like my whole cultural identity is a pretense.

So my older brother was playing Fable III and my younger brother managed to accidentally sit on a controller and press the Xbox guide button, Start, and then the A button with his buttocks in a manner that he signed my profile into co-op mode. Apparently, if you start a profile in co-op who hasn’t created their own character, it automatically makes you a girl, so I’m now permanently a...

Should have stabbed him in the eye! Much more effective on the little twat.
Being expelled from school and getting kicked out of Explorers doesn’t seem like an ideal course of action in my career development plan.
I would say Kolton would maybe be less of a tool, but we all know that...

Today, Kolton showed up at our lunch again. Normally I don’t mind that he consistently fails to do anything as Rotter’s TA, but today I went to sit down and he told me there wasn’t room, and that I should go sit on the other side of the table. That was debatable. He refused to scoot over at all, and instead, grabbed my tray and tossed it to the other side of the table. I then,...
So I was driving up the back of Roseburg hill, but near the middle I saw a car coming down, so I started backing up. Since my rear-view mirror decided to abandon my windshield again last week, I had to turn all the way around to avoid careening off the hill into the woods below, but when I reached the bottom and looked forward, the guy I was backing up for had turned around and left instead of...
Daily Math Fact of the day. #2
Drumset + Christmas Lights = Trouble Sleeping.
I spy, I spy, with my little eye, like a fish who can’t swim or a bird who can’t fly try after try, with a heave and a sigh. Starting to cry, wishing that I could pack up my dreams and just lay down and die.
Living out of focus
My vision has become noticeably worse this year. I’m sure if I had to renew my driver’s license, I would fail the vision test. Im praying to God, Buddha, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and anyone else who will listen that the surgery actually works.
If it doesn’t, I have to abandon my dreams of becoming a Law Enforcement Officer. Gone. Kaputt. Just like that. My whole life for as...

I think it was just you being a dick to me.
I didn’t mean to be rude. I just thought it was really funny because, when I read it first, I didn’t even notice the error, but then I read the note from Chris, and wondered why he left the noun out of his sentence, then I realized that your sentence...
Wanted: Vocalist. Do you or anyone you know have a beautiful voice that melts hearts and causes eargasms, and/or the ability to write touching, heartfelt lyrics that set easily to music? No? Damn!
Well, if that changes, let me know. Me, JC, and Skyler are interested in getting things moving this summer, but we need a frontman/frontwoman if we expect to write anything meaningful. Even if you got...
I hate when my internet decides to run slower than usual (Yes, it’s possible.) when I try to make a quick correction to a grammatical error moments after making fun of someone for making a grammatical error. Perhaps Karma does exist.
Sometimes I think that the only thing my posts accomplish is moving everything on the dashboard down a little… That must be why I have so few followers. Somehow, my computer took the line of text I was typing and inserted it into the middle of a word in the previous sentence, and, thanks to my dial-up internet, I’m sure many people will see the mistake before I can even fix it. LOOK!...
Free verse (because it's easy)
Today, A responsible Daniel would’ve done his homework, done his laundry, cleaned his room But the real Daniel wrote music, reached level 43, slept in late. Tomorrow, Daniel thinks about life, wishes he were someone else, someone destined to suceed. But he’s Daniel.
Man, I picked a great senior project… I spend 15 hours a week writing music, anyway, regardless of obligation. I’ll have 25 in no time!
I’ve been working on this song for two days now. 16 instruments, 50 rests, and 1037 notes, and it all adds up to… 80 seconds of music. Writing for an orchestra is really fucking hard.
Naqib: Fashion for ugly people...
…as long as you don’t have ugly eyes. So I found out how to wear my scarf like a Naqib Hijab, the face covering worn by women in fundamentalist Muslim countries. But since I’m a man, I look like either a terrorist or, as my Mom so respectfully put it, “a very ugly woman.” Hurt feelings aside, I think it’s pretty cool. I thought mothers were supposed to lie to...
I feel bad. I forgot what day Skyler’s birthday is. I don’t usually forget these things. Ach! Wie traurig, es tut mir leid…

#pitylike
Not exactly what I was hoping to achieve, but… thanks anyway.
The one thing I don’t like about Tumblr is one’s inability to Like their own posts.
It’s not that I’m narcissistic or self-absorbed… It’s just that nobody else likes me.
If I could Like my own stuff, I could get at least one “Like.”
Today in Music Theory class, Dr. Huffman played these beautiful chord progressions, on her grand piano, and I was like, “I wanna learn those!” So when I home, I played them on my shitty Yamaha electric piano plugged into a 20-year-old bass amp with a cheap cord. It sounded weak and empty and dry, like everything else I play on that piano. Bummer.

Lost in the music Spiraling descent Minor, augmented Diminished, Major Chroma in black and white Solitude in e minor Natural, Harmonic Melodic, Synthetic Consonant with form Dissonant with flavour Piano has a voice, a colour, a soul I love music theory, but free verse is always lame.

Drumset + Christmas Lights = Fabulous!
And now I am grounded. Oh well… A little alone time is good for the soul, right? Considering how much people hang out with me, I probably won’t notice any difference in being grounded anyway.
To protect and serve... please?
So I was riding along with Deputy Simper on swing shift in Charles district (East-central) and we went the entire shift without a single call. The radio was practically silent all day, and all we did was help a guy change a tire and pull over two people, both for expired tabs, and both had no insurance. Only one of them got a ticket, though, because he was being a dick. That was the most boring...

Try 7-9, sir.
I was including the playoff game. But yes, I see your point. When we got the division title that was indeed our record.
The most devastating thing to happen to New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina… the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New Orleans Saints 41-36 in the NFC Wild Card Playoff game today. The New Orleans Saints, with a record of 11 wins and 6 losses, defending Superbowl Champions, lost to the Seattle Seahawks, the only team in history to win the division title and go on to the playoffs with a losing...
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
So, in Halo Reach, there’s this super-prestigious medal you get for completing an online game of “Slayer” (Team Deathmatch) with at least fifteen kills and zero deaths. I had killed fifteen people already and hadn’t been killed once in this match I played today, but I wanted to get one more kill with the Energy Sword so that I could get another special medal for getting...
Anonymous asked: is your gamertag afrothunder?
I only have 4 CD’s in my car, so I’ve been listening to my brother’s Best of the Violent Femmes for a week now. It’s a blast from the past. I feel like whatever CD I happen to have in my car stereo on a certain week has a huge effect on my psychology. Twisted Sister results in some weird weeks.
