i wish...

i could take the leap...
into the unknown...
would me let me?
would i land safely?

would it be the same on the other side?
or will it collapse?

...

tomorrow night needs to come faster.

its late and i am making music -__-...

so this week has been insanely chill...havent done SHIT...except go to some classes...which is new lol =P.

the song playing in the background will be discussed later on in this post. PLS READ AND HELP!! lol.

since monday, andy and i have been really pissed cuz comcast decided to cut our cable off COMPLETELY cuz they claim that we shouldnt get local channels unless we pay for it -_______-. SOOO he and i have been watching movies lol. over the weekend i watched the dark knight again then i watched shawshank redemption which is HELLA good. then since tuesday night andy and i watched one movie from the lord of the rings trilogy. we finished the third one tonight. he and i have a epic project ahead of us involving those movies. hopefully that will happen. it will take ALOT of work but the end product should be pretty funny =). yah basically he and i have been goofing off alot cuz we are both done with work so its been fun.

side note: LAKERS ARE 9-1 YEE!!!!! (thank god for justin.tv where i can watch every laker game online. i also cannot believe that just spent the time changing the colors of those letters lol)

ive also been spending quite a bit of time with my music thanks to alot of freetime. i have made/edited/remastered/partially completed a good 5 or 6 beats in the last week. today right before i went out to dinner i made my own version of a millie sampling "get ur freak on" by missy elliot. this turned out to actually work though i dont know wat id do with that beat cuz i dont rap hahaha. i had an idea for a HECKA good beat but unfortunately i am not able to record stuff from my piano cuz i do not have the right software right now. arjun has my cd so i will get it from him on TUESDAY NIGHT yEE!! then today after the movie at around 1:30am i was again messing around with a beat and i found my old song "Way Away" i had made this beat AGES ago. i had also meant to write lyrics for it and sing it but i always felt that the beat was incomplete/some of the instruments didnt fit. so i started messing around with it again. i took out my old chorus. put in arjuns orchestra melody that he had made for it a while ago (THANK U RJ that shit is hella nice). and then i remastered ALL of the sounds and instruments with new effects and stuff that i found in fruity. and lastly i FINALLY found an instrument to use for my chorus chords. i had been looking for a synth for SOO long. i had sent this beat to some of you a long time ago and many of u had told me that the synth in the chorus didnt fit the style of the song. so i FINALLY found one that works YAY!!!! here is the final version. i need to write lyrics/come up with a new name. any suggestions? id be open to someone writing me lyrics too lolol. i wanna try and finish this with singing and urrthang over thanksgiving so GIMME IDEAS =).




UPDATE: so i ended up sleeping at 7am cuz i started editing the song again and editing my A Millie type of song haha ill put that up too now:



ok thankies
Dhishoom

5 and a half days till home!!!! YESSS!!!!

Music Is the Heart of my Soul...

Today is an AWESOME day for music and it has the potential to get even better.
here are the leaks so far:

1. 808s & HEARTBREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!! kanye delivers an AMAZING album. FRICKEN EPIC!!!


2. THEATER OF THE MIND!!!!!!!!!! luda delivers a straight up Hip-Hop album. going back to the REAL hip hop. sampled beats and everything. the production on this thing is CRAZYY. every song is good! best song is DEFINITELY LAST OF A DYING BREED ft WEEZY!!!


3. HOT REVOLVER by Weezy even thought there are insanely annoying DJ drops on this thing weezy's new style is SOO damn catchy!! as arjun stated earlier it fits into EVERY style of music we listen to. rock, rap, hip hop, pop, guitar, reggae...the list goes on. i cant wait for "The Drought is Over pt. 6" to drop. its supposed to drop today still =).


4. PROSPEKT's MARCH - Coldplay's new EP featuring songs that were unfinished at teh time of Viva La Vida plus some remixes. best of which is Lost+ ft. Jay-Z.
AND now for the stuff that SHOULD come out today to make it EVEN better:
KEVIN RUDOLF IN THE CITY how this guy got signed to Young Money Ent. i dont know. but whoever found him is FUCKING AWESOME. this album comes out on tues but leak should be out soon.

weezy's new mixtape The drought is over pt 6 which should have some CRAZY shit lined up on it. RED MAGIC. maybe no dj of Hot Revolver.

YEE!!!!

im happy
and ready to go home!!

=)

so today was a pretty good day and also a weird day. i woke early aka 10 am to write a paper for my freshmen seminar. it was due at 3pm and i started at 10am pretty much lol YAY. then i came home made some music goofed off for a while then wrote a program for CS which is always fun. in the middle of writing this program which i thought i had to turn in by midnight. i get an email from my professor saying that he was hit by a car while he was riding his bike so the hw isnt due today O_O. so yah that was kinda a relief cuz i didnt have to finish the program by midnight haha. THEN later i found out i got a 105% on my ecs midterm aka i got everything right YEE. then i looked and the grades for the quarter are up and i have the highest grade YEE!!! so yah that made me happy. but then i saw my math grade. and its potentially not bad but my professor wont tell us the curve until the end of the quarter so i have a 75% in the class overall which is WAY higher than the class average so i should be ok with a solid B which is FINE BY ME. but i dont like not knowing -_____-. other than that im done till thanksgiving freals now that all my hw is done for this quarter pretty much YAY!!

just a quick update,
CANT WAIT TO GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
richa and i will be taking the train on tuesday night so thatll be 2 and a half hours of fun =). then wed i plan on visiting school/some family time till the evening when URRBODY COMES HOME YEE!!!
then thurs all day chill. then thanksgiving dinner with the usual families wherever that is happening. then FRIDAY PARTY!!! and no plans for saturday and sunday yet hahaha.

-watched a more personal toned down show of epic proportions. toca faceplanted in the middle of the show which was pretty damn funny.
-WAITED OUTSIDE HIS TOURBUS FOR 3 HRS!!!!!! -____-
