Finally a new cover...

I know it's been a while... It's more work than I thought to constantly keep twitter, facebook, myspace, and this blog updated all the time :P.

All I want to say is I finally recorded a new cover :)

Enjoy!

Until next time...

It's been a while...

I completely forgot I had this thing. It's funny how bad my memory is. Really... I have a very select memory.

Let's see... July 4th weekend was fun. Spent time with my friends and it was overall just relaxing and fun, away from home and civilization. Haven't been spending much time with the D40. I should... The same thing is happening when I had a DSLR last time. I get into it at first then I stop using it after a while and it just sits.

Back to my WoW raid. Yeah.. I'm a nerd :(.

Until next time...

It's kind of exciting

So I have a habit of checking my YouTube channel too many times a day to see if any of my videos get views and apparently my most recent video keeps going up in views. It's only a couple views a day but that's still big for me. This hasn't happened since I first put my channel up several months ago. Either it's the same person viewing it over and over, or people are starting to see it. But either way, it's exciting! (I know I sound lame)

Woke up a little late today... Good news. Boss called and he gave me an hour off. So yay. That's always good news. I think I'll grab my camera and take some pictures.

Until next time...

Work work work

So it rained this morning and I didn't go into work until 11:30AM. And I don't work tomorrow @ my 2nd job until 2PM so that means I got suckered into working at my other job until 1:30 to help out for the time we lost this morning. Oh well. It's money right?

Anyways, I need to use my DSLR again. Haven't taken pictures in a few days. I'm going through withdrawals. I just take it out just to take a picture of something random then put it away to get my fix. I need to record another cover too! Too much stuff to do in such little time...

Until next time...

Wooohooo it works

So I figured out how to get my new cover video uploaded onto YouTube. Just took a bit of magic ;). I like to believe that my voice has matured since I started singing and recording covers. Voice lessons definitely taught me to actually think about my singing more while I'm singing and how to control my voice a lot more. Special thank you to Dawn Taylor for helping me and guiding me :).

I want to try another cover but I will DEFINITELY have to drop it down a couple of keys since the original is so out of my range, it's not even funny. I still love the song. Speaking of that, I love Glee. I can't wait for another season to start this fall. I just wish the Glee staff would actually send everyone an e-mail that participated in their nationwide casting call on MySpace to tell them "Thank you for your submission" and to say whether or not they want you to continue in the auditioning process. Their MySpace page still says they are reviewing submissions and that they'll notify you if they want you but I don't know of any news where they actually chose someone. I guess time will only tell.

Oh! Grover! I forgot to mention this... Funny story. I think it was last weekend, I went to take a nap on my bed, fell asleep, and woke up to find something under my back. I roll over, look down, and there's my cat, sound asleep UNDERNEATH me. I laugh and go "oops! you okay?" and he's dead asleep, doesn't move and doesn't care. Cute little bugger.

Took some pictures at a softball game today. They didn't turn out as great as I wanted to because it was pretty cloudy and gloomy out. I tried staying away from a higher ISO to avoid getting grainy pictures but I had no choice. The low shutter speed wasn't getting me the nice action shots with no blur so I tried compensating with an ISO 800 and they turned out eh.

Well I guess I'll pop in a movie and relax until bed...

Until next time...

What else is new?

Nothing is ever new with me. EXCEPT, I just recorded my first full cover of a song and YouTube keeps giving me errors when I try to upload it. I feel like a broken record considering this is my Facebook and Twitter status... Regardless, I am FRUSTRATED. I don't get it. It's under the size limit, it's below the maximum length of time, it's in one of the most popular formats (.mpg, I tried converting it to .avi and I got no where). UUURRGGGG I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DOOOO.

Anyways, I feel proud of myself because earlier today, I went to Home Depot and bought myself some plywood and 2x4's (that they cut for me to my desired dimensions) and built myself a tower for my computer. Ever since I moved into my apartment, my computer has been either sitting on the floor between my desk and the wall (very tight space by the way, hardly any air circulation) or on top of old speakers (only about a foot tall) that I no longer needed. Now that it's actually level with my desk, the fans finally have some better air flow to them and hopefully the computer stays cooler, even if it's just a couple degrees! Ever little bit helps right? ;)

I STILL CAN'T GET YOUTUBE TO WORKK. Blahhh. Not to mention I've been sweating all day and I'm all cranky, sore, tired, stressed, bored, frustrated...all sorts of stuff that isn't helping right now. Maybe I'll go get my camera out and mess around.

Until next time...

Pictures speak 1000 words

Brief intro... Today was a VERY exciting day. Picked up a couple things and turned yesterdays light box and pictures into this:
