Honey moon. swweet.
With my lovely wife will go on a
honeymoon that is sweet with a lot of gravitational pull. I would
travel around Europe. First I'd take a cruise to England and visit
Stone Henge. Then we'll take a cruise to Scandinavia for a few days.
We'll stay a week in Germany and visit monuments such as the Berlin
wall. We'll also go to Wacken music festival and have a good time
listening to music. We'll also go to other music festivals such as
Summer Breeze and Metalfest. In the Netherlands, we'll go visit the
red-light district and see the various scenery and museums. In Italy,
we'll eat pasta and pizza. You know eat the spaghetti in that way. I
like to lasagna. I like carbonara. I like Pasta in general. I chose
to go to Europe mostly because of the weather. Europe has a lot of
scenery and there is a lot of history there. Maybe in Denmark we'll
join a RPG game. Those games where there are class you can be such as
mage, warrior, archer, etc etc. I think it'll be fun.
The First thing i see when I wake up.
The
first thing I see when I wake up is my bass guitar. I started to play
the bass about two months ago. The compositions that I play to is
advanced compared to what beginners play. I didn't start with the
easy stuff, I just went straight to intermediate sheet music. I
believe that I have a natural talent in playing music. I surely don't
think that I got that gene from my parents but rather from my
ancestors. I discovered my musical talents at the age of four when my
parents had me take piano lessons. From then on I've been walking the
path to musicianship and I plan on getting a minor in Music along
with possibly a minor in biology and majoring in Engineering.
Whenever I listen to music, of course since I'm a drummer I listen to
the drums, but I also listen to the bass. For a lot of songs I notice
that the bass player is way in the back of the mixing which makes the
song sound thin, if you understand what I mean. The purpose of the
bass sound is to plant a foundation for all the other instruments:
bass on the bottom, drums bottom to top, guitars in the middle as
well as vocals. Have you heard any bass solos? Man, I have to tell
you that they are amazing. I like how they use the body of the bass
to produce that drum-like beat and play their notes over that. I like bass.
