HELLLOOOOUUUUUU!!!

Yeah yeah yeah I know!
I haven't updated this in a while.
I guess I was either working too much or wasting my time doing whatever... :-p

Anyway, it's already Christmas and my vacation days are already running out! hehehe My God how I hate this. I mean, when you start slacking off is where you have to start working again! hehehehe

Summary, I'm doing Ok.
Have bought some things for the house, have cleaned it a bit.
Also bought some music equipment for my "Studio"/Gaming/PC room and have recorded a couple of things.

What else?!?
I don't know. I guess that's it.
I'm a pretty boring human being so I have done the same thing all this time (i.e. eat, sleep, shit, go to work, play DS, play Wii, watch TV, watch DVDs, etc.)

Yesterday I bought Lost Season 3, Superbad and the latest "Bourne" movie... also, I went to Gamestop with like 10 games to give for Trade in. Went out with 2 Wii games and the Component Cables for my HDTV and the difference was $30. I guess that's good!

What else.?!?!
Oh, I was doing some comparisons with a song I have (I still need a woman singer to sing it... hehehehe) testing my new equipment out. These are it:


First up:

Como Creer 1

This one was recorded with my cheap Nady SP-1 and mixed with my Sony Headphones.


Second go:

Como Creer 2

This one was recorded with the new condenser mic and mixed with the new monitors. I'm still getting used to them but I think the difference is substantial! Also, you'll hear fluctuations in the verses (vocals going up and down). That's because I used the same dynamics as in the vocals with the old microphone (tried to compare everything equally)

What do you say!?!?


I think the difference is there.
I just need to keep on learning and stuff..

Ok.
This has been long enough.

Hope to talk to you guys soon!
Bye.

El Anticristo...

Hehehehehe

Estos "documentales" son los mejores que han hecho EVER!!!!
Animal Planet, Discovery, National Geographic no le llegan a los tobillos al llamado Anticristo. Solo vean esta pendejada:



Y bueno, para ser imparcial, aqui esta el de EMO:



hehehehehehe
Metanse a YouTube y vean todos los demas de este cabron!! hehehe me meo!




Bye.

....

what do I want?
what do I reaaally want?

That's a question that has been surfacing a few times these past few weeks. What do I want? I'm 27 and I still don't know what I want. I just figured that I no longer have a goal, nor am I inspired to reach something, anything. And this scares me to the point that I feel that there's nothing left for me to do in this world, on this life... there's nothing out there worth fighting for, there's nothing out there worth crying for, there's nothing out there worth living for but there's nothing out there worth dying for either! hehehe shit... I love these brain shitstorms...

DTA.... but I'm curious...

Ok...
So I didn't want to mention any of this but since I've neglected this blog for quite some time I'm going to post it.

DTA, stands for Don't Trust Anyone!
Three letters that will hopefully be tattooed on my body someday.

I've been let down quite a few times and recently information was given to me which actually "harmed" me more that I could have anticipated. I wont go into any details but let's just say that I was let down again and even though I try to be a good guy, a good friend, etc. everything ends up backfiring and the people that you trust fuck you over. And, hey!, it's Ok! Shit happens... (to me). :-p

Why do I bring this up?
Well, I've been getting to know someone and me likeeeey!!! lol (and BTW, I'm not talking about love or a relationship, etc. I'm saying that I like because I feel like I can express myself however the fuck I want... in a way I feel comfortable)

Thing is that I heard the following:

h: "you are important to me!"

I was dumbfounded, speechless, shocked.
WTF did I just heard?!?!?
I haven't heard anything like this in quite a while, and the last time I heard this it didn't end up well! hehehehe So.... my brain starts processing and amidst WTFs, what the hell happened, etc. etc. I stumble upon those 3 letters:

DTA

Why should I trust the words of someone I barely know when the people I did "knew" for a long time were fucking me over?
Why should I trust the words of someone that barely knows me?
Why should I trust, period?!?!

I have to say, it felt awesome hearing those words coming from her, and I'm not ashamed to say that I was fucking flattered BUT, why? Why did she say that? Now I'm questioning what the heck did I do or say... how did I opened the door for this to happen? I really don't know. Maybe I'm reading this the wrong way. Who knows? All I know that now I'm confused BUT curious!!!!!

Now I "just want to feeeed my curiosityyyyyyy" :-p

I wont say anything to her or do anything I might later regret. I will just let time go by. Who knows, maybe I can start trusting again....






maybe....

Too much work...

Hey guys/gals.

Haven't updated this in a while because I've been swamped with work. Doing a lot of things but at the same time this is good, since it keeps me busy and entertained... and speaking of entertained, for those who don't know I bought Guitar Hero III for the Wii. Great game, challenging and best of all, fun. The soundtrack kicks ass.

And speaking of songs, I haven't recorded anything new but have a couple of ideas. I figured I use my piano again for the next song... Pa joder.


Well, this will be a short one.
See you guys later.
bye.

Drinking at home...

yep...

kind of bored, waiting for the day to end and work tomorrow and take care of a few things. In the meantime, and since I'm tipsy or whatever... I'll post the lyrics for the song mentioned in the post below this:

A veces es mejor NO saber

No queria hacerle caso,
a lo q decia mi razon
y debi hacerlo...
y debi hacerlo...

Pues me hubiese preparado
para escuchar tu voz,
y no creerlo...
y no creerlo...

Pre-Ch

Y ya lo se
me siento aun mas miserable.
Todo lo se,
definitivo un sueno inalcanzable.
Y ya lo se....

Coro

Era mejor el ayer!
Cuando no sabia nada.
Cuando en ti podia ver
la mujer a quien amaba.

Era mejor el ayer!
Cuando solo imaginaba,
que estarias con el
y todo el dia lloraba.


Cinco noches sin dormir,
todo el dia pensando en ti,
para q hacerlo?
para q hacerlo?

Te ame y nunca te menti,
y nada quisiste de mi,
facil creerlo,
facil creerlo.

Pre-Ch

Y ya lo se
me siento aun mas miserable.
Y ya lo se,
todo mi amor quise entregarle
pero fue otra su decision...

Coro

Bridge:

Y te ha tocado sufrir.
Q mas ibas a esperar?
Y te acordaras de mi.
tratando de buscar
alguien q te vaya a amar...

Era mejor el ayer (2x)

Repeat Coro

Coro Final

Era mejor el ayer!
Cuando no sabia nada.
Cuando en ti podia ver
la mujer a quien amaba.

Era mejor el ayer!
Cuando solo imaginaba,
q me amarias a mi
y despertarias en mi cama.


This song is actually quite important to me because it marks the end of an inspirational fountain one which "waters" moved me, enlightened me and fucked my brain over a few times. So this is a swan song... this is my goodbye song (hopefully).

The song is not really as polished as I would like (i.e. vocals not properly equalized and I sound as if I was bored singing it! hehehe) but whatever:

A veces es mejor NO saber (w vocals)


Now I'm looking for a next inspirational being.
It will probably be a puppy or something so I don't have to "suffer" a whole lot. :-p


Anyway, 14 Medallas down, 3 shots of tequila to go....


See you suckerssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!

Estoy mas vago q la viiiiizneeeee

Yeah Yeah Yeah...


I've been way too lazy lately.
I was going to Clean my Car, do laundry, etc. etc. etc. and I didn't do shit this weekend.
What the hell is going on with me?!?!!?!?!?!!?!? ARRGHHHH...

Anyway, haven't done much lately... at least nothing that interesting.
This week I'm planning to go on a drinking binge so let's see how that goes.
Other than that, I've been to a couple of parties and stuff and hopefully I'll go to Hugo's Halloween party this coming weekend and celebrate that he finished school!!

Been listening to some new CDs lately (all of them downloaded) and found a couple of "gems" which I'll be buying soon! Already pre-ordered the new Say Anything CD and I CANNOT WAIT for the new Armor For Sleep CD! AAhhhhh.. Pure Bliss!

Let's see what else... I think that's it.

I'm going to leave you now with an instrumental of a song I'm working on:

A Veces es Mejor NO Saber

I'll post the other version and the lyrics once I finish "polishing" it.

Bye guys/gals!

It's 2am and I'm still up...

It's 2am and I'm still up...
not because I'm hanging, or because I'm having fun.
It has been happening all this week and, well, it sucks.
I'll probably buy some unisoms or something...

Don't even bother to ask why
'cause I'll probably just reply:

"It's not your fucking business!" hehehehe

But I know that maybe later I will open my mouth and blurt out whatever it's on my mind... and boy oh boy is there so much stuff in it... aaarghh... my head hurts.

I would love to take a vacation FROM MYSELF.
I think I might have mentioned this before on this very same blog... now...
why am I repeating this again?!?!!? Same situation or something different?
I might have to do a search or something!

Whatever...

On another note, I discovered that I could be productive at home.
Who would have thought?!?!? Big screen TV, Wii, DS, Guitars, etc. and I didn't even touched any of them for like 4 hours straight today! Damn.! Now if I could work from home everyday that would be fucking fantastic, but... like most things I try to do, to have, to say to take care, to love, ... it's not going to happen.

Damn...

Well, I'll be taking off now.
You guys take care!



BTW, I think I know what my first 2 tattoos are going to be off... music (anything regarding music be it a guitar, notes, etc. and the letters DTA in some kind of weird design or something!).
Now, question is, WHEN the fuck am I going to a tattoo parlor and get them made!?!?!


Bye.

Let this go, let this go....

One day you'll get sick of
saying that everything's alright
And by then I'm sure I'll be pretending
Just like I am tonight

Please don't get me wrong

Because I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you

I'm freaking bored!!!!! Listening to Paramore "discography" (only 2 CDs hehehe) now.
At least I'm playing basketball tonight and out tournament begins next week!! WOOOHOOO!!! Let's see if we can win something this year as our team is better (I believe) than last year. I definitely need the exercise though...

Haven't done much these past weeks. Watched a lot of movies from old Kung Fu flics to the latest awesome ones like Knocked Up! OMG how much I laughed!!

Anyway, I wont write too much.
Maybe when I really have something to say I'll pour shit out!

Bye.

Ghost from the past...

Yeah, just like in Scrooge...

I've been visited by a ghost from the past.
Did it make me happy?
Did it make me sad?
Did it made me wonder what would have happened, or what I lost?

I wasn't even aware... I thought I was dreaming but I wasn't!
I didn't know what to say without sounding fake.
I didn't know how to act without making an ass of myself (although I am an ass so ...)
I just felt really really lost and surprised.

Anyway, we kissed on the cheeks and waved goodbye and it was probably the best thing.
No # exchange, no nothing... and now I'm wondering... should I had asked her for it and keep in touch? ... hmmmm... I guess I wont know... song coming soon?!?! hehehehehe

Pa que no me jodas mas (HUGo!!)

Mera,

tengo un cojon de versiones de esa cancion y no se cual es cual.
Trate ayer de crear par de Mp3's pero de verdad que como no tengo bocinas (lo q uso son headphones) no se como esten sonando (i.e. mas duro, con mas treble, con mas bajo, etc.) Asi que cogi la version original y simplemente la puse mas duro! :-p

http://gelocks.topcities.com/Music/Ya%20todo%20Termino%20(orig).mp3


A continuacion las "nuevas" versiones... Yo he grabao esta cancion par de veces y esta ultima fue usando un metronomo (i.e. no toque a oido, toque con un tiempo especifico). Creo que a 85bpms o algo asi. Anyway:

http://gelocks.topcities.com/Music/Ya%20todo%20Termino%20(new%20mix).mp3


http://gelocks.topcities.com/Music/Ya%20todo%20Termino%202.mp3


Si tienes bocinas, prueba estos mp3s alla y me avisas a ver si tienen mucho bajo, o whatever.

Bye.


Y NO JODAS MAS CABRON!!!

Check.

The imaginary Car Chase....

Since I've been having "writers block" these past few weeks I went to visit one of the forums I usually go to and they had a Songwriting Challenge. Is not for any prizes or anything but the point of it is exactly to avoid what I'm going through. They'll subject the "forumites" to create different things (i.e. a country song, a metal song, soundtrack, etc.) to make things interesting and avoid writers block and expanding our own knowledge and horizons. So I decided... what the heck, I don't have anything to lose.

So the first challenge is a Car Chase scene song.
We have to imagine a car chase and create a song with that in mind.
hehehehe I have to say that this is freaking awesome.
I recorded mine right away.

You can listen to at here:

http://gelocks.topcities.com/Music/Car%20Chase%20Demo.mp3

or

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=639185&songID=5690458


I think I'll be doing an orchestrated one!!!
Now I'm looking forward for more of these.

Anyway, that's all I have for now.

Check.

Me cago....

en la ospera!!!!!
HOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Escuche bien (con detenimiento) la cancion de Kany -- Hoy ya me voy y lo
unico que puedo decir es: "Me cago en la gente que puede plasmar lo que esta pensando y sus ideas en letras HOSTIA!"

La melodia tambien esta cool.

Anyway, despues de escuchar esto mas me encojono ya que llevo como 2 semanas tratando de terminar una song y no he podido. Creo que lo proximo que voy a hacer es darle a una tecla bien bonita que se llama DELETE y olvidarme pal carajo... fucking Writers Block.

Ultimamente no he escrito mucho por vago cabron como siempre.
Pero nada, todo esta cool, mucho trabajo esta semana pasandola tranquilo como siempre.

Bueno check it.
Los dejo con la letra de la cancion de Kany:

Hoy ya me voy

Se puede intentar hacer canciones
El hombre ha hecho tanto por el arte
Se puede intentar romper paredes
Y luego hacer casas gigantes.

Y no llegué a aprenderte a amar
Aunque quisiera yo no pude
Rocé tus labios con mi boca
Y te entregué mi cuerpo, oh, oh!

Cansada me detengo y pienso
Si esto es lo que merecemos.

-Chorus-

Hoy ya me voy amor y desearé
Que tengas un buen viaje y no lloraré
Porque se bien que yo intenté quererte
Y le dije no a ser feliz
Porque solo pensaba en tí
Que yo aprendería
A amarte como tú lo hacías
Y debo decir adiós.

Sé que pude quedarme más tiempo
Pero algo me dijo que era tarde
Y que aunque usara yo mi empeño
El final ya era inevitable.

Y duele porque fuiste todo lo que deseé un día
Pero si no hay amor Se que el deseo ya no bastaría, no oh!
Sufriendo por todo el recuerdo
Viviendo de remordimiento.

-Chorus-

Me duele que te dejo
Con la pena y el dolor
Soñando que estés bien Y que des de tu vida lo mejor
Como conmigo.

-Chorus-

I was feeling confused....

I guess I still am but I didn't wanted to write or talk about it and I still don't.
So, since I have new music software I thought that I'd spent at least half an hour doing something different and I did. It was actually a song idea that didn't come to fruition, or rather, I stopped writing just 'cause I didn't wanted to deal so I made an orchestrated snippet:

http://gelocks.topcities.com/Music/Quick_Orchestra_Demo.mp3

I just used brasses and a piano.
The weird effect is my guitar through an effects pedal. :-p

Don't have anything else more to say.

Well, this weekend I went to a friends wedding and had a good time.
Other than that... nothing.

Check it.

Super fresita Today!

I've spent the day listening to punk and alternative music (as usual) while working and I blanked out for a bit and heard the following lyrics:

"Just watch my wildish dreams come true,
not one of them involving you!"

Simple right?
Loved it right away, so I had a favorite song for the day.
What's more? The song is from the band Paramore fronted by a woman! hehehehehehe
It just takes a pussy lyric to show the kind of pussy I am! lol
Anyway, I already liked the band but this sond is quite good (Misery Business).
So if you like Avril Lavigne or however it's spelled, listen to Paramore... it's punkier.
I'm not going to elaborate more on this lyric... I guess it's straight-forward right?!?! :-p

Other than this I was listening to some Peter Cetera (here we go again pussy...). Most people know him and don't even know his name but he was one of the frontmen of the Band Chicago. His voice is quite distinctive. I still have a couple of cassette tapes of this guy and decided to get them in MP3 format. Cool songs.

Let me see what else... nothing I guess.
Thank God is Friday... let's see if I can record and fix some ideas I have.
I'll probably post them soon. So if you want your ears to bleed and shit your pants take a listen next week! :-p

I'm going now.
Bye.

X-plosive week...

Wow what a turnout.
I still have a headache but I'm still standing.
These past few days have been extremely awesome.
On Tuesday we went to Buffalos @ Mayaguez to celebrate "Ediolopalooza" and had a great time up there. Wednesday we went to Happy Bellies and Mi Casita Tropical @ Isabela for the second night of "Ediolopalooza". It was fun, even my neighbor was there (hehehehe). Thursday I went to the beach with my friend Hugo and later at night we went to Villa Cofresi @ Rincon and to a riquitin-bichin place @ Mayaguez. At 2:30am I went to Aguadilla and picked up my long-time friend of friends Junke. Since he hasn't been here in a long time (West Coast) on Friday we went to the Beach and to different places in Isabela then finally at night we went to Karambolas and Hotel El Faro.

A summary of all that bullshit I just mentioned?

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday == drinking == feeling fucked next day.

AAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I don't think this will be repeating any time soon.

Bye :-p

Upcoming weeks...

So this weekend my family finally decided to come up here and take a look at my house and surroundings. We had a good time.

On Friday I decided to take them to eat at a restaurant and then to Villa Pesquera since I know for a fact that they have "Bohemia Nights" on Fridays (I have gone to quite a few events there) and this evening didn't dissapoint. We stayed there drinking and listening till like 1am.

On Saturday we went to the beach, took some pictures and then home. We were debating going to the ice rink or to the bowling alley but they were tired and decided to stay home. Now this was funny, I turned on my Nintendo Wii for my sister to play and suddenly everyone was waving their arms around playing Bowling!! hehehehe Had quite some fun with them @ home.

Sunday they left.
All in all a good weekend.

Now, I haven't done much these past few weeks but all of that will definitely change.
At least I'm expecting an explosive weekend (not this one though!). I'm going to throw up blood! hehehehehehe ;-)

That's all I have for now I guess.


P.S. Thanks for the Season 3 of Lost Hugo. I'm already finishing it! Explosive season I must say and I still have not watch the finale!!!!! I feel like a cheerleader.... ok ok... but not like those we have on video... you know... "It's so biiiiigggg.... and it's sooooooo beautiiiiifulllllll!!" hehehehehe

Check.

Random whatever....

I will not write something obvious about me today.
IF you get what I've written below, then congratulations
to you ('cause when I start with random shit, I don't even understand it myself.)

Good Luck....



All of these ideas running through my head,
should I stay, or should I go,
should I stop thinking instead?

Most of the reasons seem to be hand-fed,
different colors, different lifes,
as I slide and turn in bed.

What was an option yesterday
is not an option now,
so live with what you have today
it'll have to do somehow.

All of this because I miss,
all of this because I know
that distorted fucked up kiss
screwed in hard that gut-shot blow.

Punches, kicks, my stomach aches,
when I'm sad, when I'm alone,
even my reflection seem to be fake.

Noises, sounds, I'm deaf for my own sake,
can't hear you calling, can't hear the phone,
my optimism shakes.

What was an option yesterday
is not an option now,
so live with what you have today
it'll have to do somehow.

All of this because I miss,
all of this because I know
that we'll never be the best,
that forever I will owe.
-------------------------------------------------

Striking chords like the wind strikes them leafs,
hoping something will come out right with a cool verse and a bridge.
Something just when wrong, a string just flew by me,
there are no replacements, damn my hands "slash" damn me!!!

bAhh,,, I don't want to work today!

Today is Friday, Today is Friday....

Friday at last.
As most of you reading this know, I'm 27 years old sinceWednesday. Had a great day and that's all I'm saying. ;-)

I haven't done anything else so that's why I haven't postedanything these past few weeks. In fact, I have gotten sobored these days. The only thing helping me is Ghost Hunters and even though some things seem fake, it is still entertaining.

Other than that, I haven't seen any movies (I have a couple thatI still haven't seen like Babel and Brick), haven't recorded anything(no muse... although.... well... let's move on), have not done much.

I did spend Father's Day at home.
I think that's the first time I do that since 1997!!!
I saw a couple of old friends also. Some so old that I couldn't even remembertheir names! hehehehehehe

Anyway... nothing eventful... well a couple of eventful thingsbut I'm not willing to share it with you guys... at least not yet.

Bye.

Sopranos Series Finale + New Song...

A big hello to the 4 people that read this shitty blog!

Topic today: The Sopranos.

One of the best television series EVER, and one of my favorites alongside newcomer Lost, ended yesterday with a real treat. It was one of the best episodes ever with a great murder scene bordering on comical and one of the most ambiguous endings EVER! (if Lost finishes like this, I will get pissed.)

Now, a lot of people are hating on the fact that the ending didn't brought up any resolutions or revealed what would be a "proper" ending. But again, what is a proper ending for the series? To see Tony or his family killed? Or to see him in court dragged by the FBI? Or to see him living the rest of his life as "normal"? With this ending, ALL OF THESE ARE POSSIBLE!!!!

So, why did the writer put up this ending (supossedly he recorded 3 different endings)?
I believe he didn't want to get in trouble with just one group of audience member so he decided to pissed everyone! hehehehehehe Why do I say this? Well, if he killed Tony Soprano at the end, then the group that wanted Tony to live will get pissed, and if he let Tony live, then that group that wanted him dead because of all the killing he did this last season would be pissed, etc. etc.

The ending at least for me was phenomenal.
Using Journey's "Don' Stop Believing" he slowly showed Tony waiting for his family, and one by one they arrive at the diner he is in. Carmela comes in, A.J. comes in and in all this time your are in suspense 'cause they are showing all of these people surrounding Tony and all of them look like they could kill Tony at any moment. Once Meadow comes through the Diner's door Journey's song STOPs when the lyrics go: "Don't Stop!"

What does this mean?
Probably nothing....
Or could it be the last words of the daughter warning her Dad that the guy that went into the bathroom earlier came out with a gun to kill him?!?!? Hmmmm....

Anyway, it was a hoot and I can't wait for the DVDs to come out.

Last but not least, I recorded another song.
I believe this is the most "pumped" up song I have ever made.
It was recorded at 120bpms (beats per minute) and I think that's the fastest I've gone.
The song is also about ambiguity and uncertainty and the desire to know the unknown hehehe
Lyrics came unconsciously. In fact, I don't think I'm making sense... but it doesn't matter!!!!!!
I had so much fun creating it that I didn't even wanted to touch them lyrics!

You can download it from this page:

http://gelocks.topcities.com/Music/At_last.mp3

Right click + Save as.

I'll post the lyrics if I can find where I wrote them! hehehehehehe
But the chorus goes:

Chorus

How does this feel for you?
I wish that I could see (seeee)
(If you still feel something.)

Just want to feed (feeeed)
my curiosity (tyyyyyy)
to see if you're holding on like me...

Like I was....
(like I was)
So damn beaaat.
Couldn't see
(That you were)
(In plain sight) but
Out of reach.

Enjoy... or tell me how much I suck.
Either way I wont give a fuck!


hehehehehe it rhymed....

BYE!

"Thanks" to the internet... + Ghost Hunters

I've been downloading so much por... I mean, PROgrams for my Cubase SX it's crazy.
I'm starting to like VSTs, they can hide my incompetence at everything!!
Anyway, I downloaded a new Drum pack and started testing it. It sounded good but I figured
I'd make a song with it. That day I was watching Lucky Number Slevin, great movie BTW, and there was a thing in the movie that stucked with me 'cause it was so funny and stupid. It goes like this:

Slevin arrives at his girlfriend's apartment and hears some sounds, it turns out that she was having sex with this other guy, and he just stood there. The gal says: "Sorry, it was an accident"
and Slevin replies something like: "Oh.. yeah... you just slipped..." or something similar. I found that so stupid (I don't believe that people actually use that "accident" line anymore) and funny that I decided to write something about that.

So what I have here is a stupid song, kind of like a pub song sing-along, with a live guitar feeling that talks about this and it gave me an excuse to use my new Drum kit AND my ELECTRIC GUITAR... THE ONE I NEVER USE!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO. The chorus line is: "Lemme hear you say Go Away, Grant me some time to think it was an accident"... I went a step further though heheheheehe and you'll probably hear a baby crying... lol

Yep, cool movie + stupid situation + bored gelocks = recipe for disaster!!

You can listen to it here (right click + save as is faster):

for "lyrics" and the "Streaming version":

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=639185&songID=5414420

Other than that, I've been watching Ghost Hunters on Sci Fi every Wednesday and yesterday was the new season premiere... great fucking episode. They were in Ireland investigating "wraths" and some pretty cool and convincing video and audio was captured. Via EVPs they captured a series of voices responding to their questions, that's something. I might try that in a cemetary someday....

....

...

..

NOOOOTTT..

That's all.
Check it.

I forgot...

to add the link to a little snippet of that song I mentioned.
I definitely need to buy some Studio Monitors because mixing with headphones is not cutting it. I heard this last one on my car and the drums were way too loud, guitars are drown out and I need to re-record my voice! BBBAAAAHHH...

Anyway, Right click + Save as the following:

http://gelocks.topcities.com/Music/FUD_MIDI.mp3

I'll probably finish it sometime.
Also, got EVDO. Still testing it. WIll make my mind in a week... it's either Centennial or Verizon (excuse me... Claro). If Verizon's signal is good at home, I'll stick to it since the contract will be for a year instead of 2. We'll see...

Check....

Disregard my "Internet at last" post...

I requested Internet access from Choice Cable TV like 3 weeks ago and it only worked for 1 fucking day!!!! Yeah... If by this Wednesday I don't have access, EVDO here I come... Doesn't matter if I have to pay $60 a month, the probability that the service is worse than Cable is pretty low.

I did download some Piano software I was looking forward too.
The Demo seems to work alright but I definitely need more Ram.
I'll have to call Ilde...

Other than that, everything's cool.
I hate that the lawn still looks like shit (will probably buy some fertilizer or something), and I have to clean the house and the car. ARGHHH...


BTW, GO JAZZ!!!!!!!

INTERNET AT LAAAAASTTTTTTTT...

Yep.
My first post from home.
Jeez... I haven't had Internet over here in a very looooong while.
Anyway, still, CHOICE CABLE TV SUCKS asS!!!!!

Check it.

Calle 13....

hehehehehe

How much I fucking hate this guy!
Hey, I cuss like a sailor too, why am I not making money?
Why don't I have a cool chorus starting my CD?
Why am I not with Denisse Quinones?!?!?!?! hehehehe

I have to say that his new CD is extremely entertaining.
The beats are total rip-offs but the way it's arranged and the flow makes it totally fresh.
Plus, of course, the lyrics are totally insane. I had fun listening to this.
I was a fan already of this prick but now I admire him even more.

I cannot say the same for Mr. I kiss dragons and shower in the clouds while starts burn my eyes and I drown in the love that surrounds you and the moon Draco Rosa.
I immediately went to take a huge dump after listening to his CD.
He buries so many cool things in layers and layers of bullshit.
Hey, I don't deny that he is a genius but he TAKES IT TOO FAR!!!!!!!!
And what the hell happened to his voice?
Was he drunk in the recording sessions?
Did the singer of La Secta recorded some tracks??
WTF?!?!?!

Anyway, I was supposed to get Internet installed today but they did not call me! :-(
Fuckers.

Finally, I'm overworked.
Will probably go home early.... probably.... oh... and I love Life!!!!!!!!!!!

I was bored and with a backache so...

Fucked up Demo

Lyrics are in the same link I think just in case you don't understand my nasal tone. ;-)

My back has gotten better since my visit to the Dr.
Went to X-Ray yesterday to a new place and didn't had to wait that much (like 10 mins).
Let's see what the fuck I do have. It's probably muscular like the Dr. said and nothing serious
but I wont hold my breath.

Currently I'm working a lot and not doing anything else.
I'm checking software (VSTi's) to simulate pianos 'cause I want to record keys to some ideas I
have.

Finally, I need to call my sister because I think the results were in yesterday.
They haven't called me so I don't think it's anything serious either.

I'm off.
Gotta keep on working.
Bye.

Clarification...

I received a text message from a friend of mine saying:

"Me voy en el fin de semana pa FL. Hay que bebel manana y el jueves"

WTF?!?!?!
Are they (he and his wife) going permanently to Florida to work?
I thought they were doing alright here?
Damn... so if anyone has any idea regarding this, give me a shout!

My sister:

Well, it seems that my sister is having arrhythmia.
This is being caused by electricity flowing where it shouldn't. There seem to be specific paths were the electricity travels on and in her case this electricity is propagating to different parts... I had the scientific name for this but forgot. This was a preliminary result though. She will be administered some tests (ecg, etc.) and it will be decided if she is in need of surgery or not.
Let's see what happens...


Finally, why am I being treated like dirt?
What did I do now??!?!?!
Cussing at me and shit?
You know I'd do anything for you right?
So tell me for once what do you want me to do!
But tell me like right now, like when you read this, pick up the phone and call me and say whatever you want to say. Don't leave me hanging 'cause that's actually worse for me (if you can believe that)... unless that's what you want, to see me suffer... (as if I wasn't suffering before).

Just so you know, it hurts... I'm not playing, I'm not kidding, it really hurts. :-(
You might call me a pussy or an asshole or both if you want, but what was said above it's the truth, plain and simple! And I'm telling you this just so that you know that anything that you say will MOST PROBABLY have a HUGE effect on me. I would love to talk to you more about this or anything else for the matter but it's you who has to step up and kick my ass.

I guess that's all for now...

"SILLA"

fun weekend :rolleyes:

Well, I was supposed to have fun this weekend but I simply couldn't. :-(
My family were going to spend the weekend over here in Aguadilla but I received a call on Friday from my mom saying that they couldn't come. I thought: "Nothing weird... they don't like to be on the road for long hours..." so I told them I'd stay over here and probably go to a friend's birthday party Saturday and to the beach on Sunday.

That Saturday I called my dad (the 31st) since it was also his birthday.
He told me that they had to check my sister in the hospital.
It seems to be heart problems... something similar happened to her this past Wednesday were she was out of breath and with a great deal of pain. She couldn't drive so she stayed over at my aunt's house in Caguas and they took her to the hospital. They told her that there was nothing wrong, probably stress, blablablabla... hmmmm... I think my sister knows about stress, she's a freaking Dr. But on Friday night the same thing happenned. We still don't know what's up. I think she had an appointment with a cardiologist today. It's weird though but who knows...
So Saturday I spent it driving and early Sunday morning I was already TRYING to clean my apt and did not go to the beach. I say TRYING because there was so much wind that it bothered me and I stopped cleaning! hehehehe

Since I wasn't doing anything else, I just started playing guitar... so many ideas and if I wasn't such a mediocre guy I would have recorded what I believe are so many catchy tunes. But I didn't do shit, didn't record shit, stopped playing and just slept and watched TV, watched TV and slept... then I woke up and wrote some stuff and went right back to sleep...

my god, how much fun can a guy have in a weekend.

(And that's without taking into consideration other factors...)

Another Lost Tournament... and more stuff

ARRRRRGHHH...

Yesterday we had another basketball tournament at the Interamerican University in Aguadilla. After getting up early and arriving there at 10:00am the tournament started. We had to wait to play in the second game. We waited, the time came to step up and we did. We did good. But just when we were in the Semis, all hope was lost... not because we were playing bad, but because the freaking referries seemed to be looking at another game or something... we were down by 4 points on the 3rd quarter and everyone on the team was upset... until Beto received a bad call and threw the ball outside... hehehehehehe lost by elimination! lol

Oh well... better luck next time I guess.

Also yesterday I requested Dish. I guess I will not be so lost with the news now after all. I don't even know why I did it since it rains every-freaking-day in this place anyway.

Next up, DSL.

Finally, my parents are pumped!
I think they will finally drive up to Aguadilla after like 7 years of forgetting about me in the West. I tell you, I could have died over here and they wouldn't know how to find me! hehehe Guess now they will.... so ... does this mean I'M GOING TO DIE?!?!?! hehehehe yeah I know... just clowning around.

BTW, I'm at work now.
Not because I have a lot of work to do but because I got up early and was bored at home.
Next time I'm going to the beach!
Promise.


Check it.

Something is wrong....

today.

I just read that another one of my friends is getting married! hehehehe
FUCK!!!!
What's going on!?!?!?!?!?! lol

I don't have anything else to say.
He used to be another lesbian psychotic whore and look what happenned!

[QUOTE]

She has everything I ever wanted in a woman... and then some. I feel like I'm repeating myself when I say this but, I don't remember being this happy ever.

[/QUOTE]

I guess I'm glad he found someone and that they are complementing each other but DAMMIT, now there are no stupid suicidal bitches (friends of mine) like me anymore!!!
ARGHHH!

That "fact" makes me sad :-p ... Still, best of luck to my good friend and hopefully they will make a great ass kicking team and love each other for a long time!



Finally, still trying to decide what should get at home for Internet Access. Should I go with the shitty EVDO from Centennial or Verizon and be attached to a 2 year contract paying like $70?
Or should I go with PRT and DSL?
Forget Choice Cable, they can suck Cartman balls!

Probably go with DSL.

That's enough I guess.
Check it.

Not sleeping well...

I think I need a kick in the head...


....

EVERYDAY!!!

Damn... I don't know why is it so difficult for me to fall asleep. On Wednesday I went to play basketball and I was so surprised that I was sleepy. So that was good and dandy... until I woke up at 3:00am and could not fall asleep again. Insomnia?!?!?! What's worse? Everyday I wake up in the middle of the night! It doesn't matter if I went to sleep at 2:15am, I wake up at 4:forty-something :-(

Nothing else new though.
Yesterday I got with a co-worker to check on my electric guitar and stuff and I felt freaking useless. He is so good a guitar player that I felt insignificant! :-(

My Mom's birthday was this week. They (my syster, dad and her) went someplace to eat while I
was over here 2 hours away! :-(

My Dad's birthday is on March 31, hopefully I'll be over there... maybe?!? :-(

Today I went to eat to an Italian "restaurant" and although the food was good and we had a good time, service was horrible. I'm not going back there... unless there are like 15 people working there and taking care of you like they should! >:-(

Finally, ... fuck all these sad faces!!!

Things returning to normal?!?!?!

After being 2 months out of the loop (at work, everyday life, etc.) this weekend I will finally complete my next phase. I already moved out the important things to my new home, just need to clean and return the apartment to its rightful owner! ;-)

It's been 2 hectic months but I'm ready to keep going now.
I have a couple of pics of my house right here:

http://gelocks.topcities.com/Pictures/New%20Fotos/2K6/MiCasa/index.htm

** Exterior pics are not of my house but all of these houses are almost the same so... (the only variance is the front windows)

I have been living there for less than a month and already I received my Water Utility bill... WTF?!?!?!??!?!?!? hehehehehe freaking thieves!!!!!

In other news, my great-grandma died.
She was like 93 so she lived a good long life. Heck... I don't think I'll reach 60 with all the shit I eat and all the drugs I shove into my body!! hehehehe just kidding...

I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, just things with the house. Quite boring actually. So since I don't want to bore you either, I'm cutting it short! :-p


Thanks to everyone who helped, to everyone who asked, etc. and God Bless...
Check.

Moving out...

Well...
Last week I received my fridge and my stove and figured that... it's time to move. So this weekend I went to visited my family, got in contact with a couple of buddies and planned what the heck was I going to do this week. Sunday morning my sister received one of her friends at home and she came with her 7 months-old baby. Suffice to say, the baby was with me the whole time... he didn't want to be with anyone else! lol I guess babies like my beautiful long chin!
(Women should take notice dammit)...

Anyway, I planned and started moving out yesterday.
Stove ... works... check
Water heater ... works ... check.
Fridge .... works .... filled with beer... check.

Now, recommendation, DO NOT RENT A PLACE FOR YOU TO STAY THAT'S ON A THIRD FREAKING FLOOR!!!! THANKS!
Damn... I could just move a couple of things (a whole room) yesterday.
I thought I was going to do more.
I painted some uneven borders I had and that was it... nothing else.

Today, the "Screens" guy is suppossed to bring me my stuff. After that I'll buy a couple more things. I figure that by the end of the week I'll be living there.

Let's see...

BTW, last week at aprox. 12:25am Thursday I recorded another idea... I like the music and the idea for the song is not bad but it was not properly executed (i.e. NOT WELL WRITTEN). So I have a preliminary version (I already rewrote most of the lyrics) here:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=639185

The song is called: Uno, Dos y Tres
Description is on that page.
Lyrics are not there since I'll be recording the vocals again but the idea is there.

I also recorded another one after I finished that one! hehehehe But that is only for my closest friends to hear....

"Escondan a ....... " hehehehe WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ok.
That's all for now.

Park is no more..... :-(

My record of the year of 2006 was Park's "How to Build a Better _________".
An emotional rollercoaster carried by Ladd's great lyrics and the whole bands music interpretation. Definitely one of the best in my collection. Well, Park is no more.
The band broke up last week according to absolutepunk.net News section.
It's sad... I believe they were one of the better bands in the scene. RIP.

This reminds me of Penfold also, later known as The Moirai, a great band with great songs that also broke up.

Anyway, I didn't have anything else to post so I wrote this! ;-)
Bye

I had a dream last night,

and in my dream I was an astronaut.
Was flying high above the earth
and talking smack with all my friends.

Then I woke up...
and I had pissed myself!!!

hehehehehehehehe PSYCH!!
Just kidding... :rolleyes:

So I was at work yesterday and got bored at about 3:45pm.
Since I had not written anything recently I started brainstorming.
Wrote a couple of verses (in English, Spanish, Turkish, etc.) but I wasn't liking much of them and then I started a search and I found this link:

(original link - don't know if it works, if not, check the cached version in Google) http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/archive/index.php/index.php?t-189367.html

Anyway it seems some guy I don't know identified with a song I have called "The Sad Song"! WTF?!?!?! I made that song in the Summer of 2002 if I'm not mistaken and it's basically my struggle to get someone out of my head, out of my heart and trying to find the strength to do it.

So ... why am I mentioning this? I thought: "Well, I haven't touched that song in a while, why don't I do that one in Spanish?" But then ... I wasn't THAT bored so I basically touched the same subject from another angle one that notices that the mind is a mess but you are more than aware of it and you just.... WAKE UP!!!

Desperte

Soy culpable de mirarte,
amar alguien sin razon.
Dia tras dia desearte.
Llegar al borde de obsesion.

Soy culpable de acercarme,
hacerte llorar y reir.
Solo logre ilusionarme
para luego verte partir.

Ahogado en sueño y medicina
olvide que te queria.
Ahogado en sueño y medicina
pasaron años de mi vida.
(vivi en la fantasia)

Y despues de tanto tiempo,
volvi a escuchar tu voz.
Abrazada de tus niños
me fui y te dije adios!

Y desperte, Si desperte.
Pero era muy tarde
mucho perdi nada gane.
Y desperte, Si desperte.
Perdi a quien puedo haber sido y no fue.

So this basically started with the first verse and the part about doing drugs and sleeping...
(BTW, when I talk about drugs I'm not talking about illegal ones!! :-p)
When I got home, I was still bored and fired up my PC.
I still had not used my drum software and my new sequencer so what better day to start using them?
Now, I have a problem staying on time with music.
I never practice with a metronome so when you put drums, I mess up. This is clearly evident in the song but I don't give a fuck! It's my song! I know I'll get better at it... maybe! ;-)
I'll probably re-record it later since vocals are weak also (recorded it at 10:00pm or so)

BTW, see if you notice the "gallito" while I'm singing! heheheehe I did not remove it because I'm lazy. If you tell me the exact time the "gallito" happens you win absolutely nothing!!

Ok, that's all.

If you want to take a listen, the song is right here:

Bye.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I have a Wii finally.
Although I didn't killed myself looking for one, it seems the system is still scarce.
The Wii-mote feels good and it is extremely responsive. I haven't played a lot but what I have sampled, is quite good.
Have only gotten into Wii Sports (love bowling) but I'll probably be getting other games like Zelda and Excite Truck in the future.

About Rincon's party, there was a lot of alcohol and our group had a good time.
I got to say though, I don't know if it is that I'm hanging out with too many drunks, but I got bored! Yep, I even wanted to go home to sleep or something... luckily the Biggest Cafre (Andres) started talking crap and stuff and I laughed so hard that I think I crapped my pants!!!!!! hehehehe

"Soy cafreeee y queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,
no me abochornooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Sunshine's Cafe,
ya me libero y como mondongooooooooooooooo."

Other than that... I wen to inspect what will be my home for the second time.
It looks alright I guess.
And I'm waiting to close with the bank in the near future.
Hopefully next month or in March I'll be there.... hopefully.

That's all I guess.
Long live piracy!!!

Uhhhh.... did I say that?!?!?!
What's going on?!?!?!?!?!?
:-p

HAY PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Me apunto!!!!

So our yearly Rincon Beach Party is tomorrow.
Yes people, Math/Computer Science geeks go to party too!!
It will be cool to see people I have not seen in a year!! heheheehe
Now we have people engaged, married and ... PREGNANT!!! wooohoooo!
Good Times.

Anyway, that's all.
Have not done anything musically since I'm going to get a new sequencer because that damned EZ Drummer does not work with my Cubase LE!!! >:(

See ya!

V-Amp 2 + EZ Drummer = Busy week!

Yesterday I got out of work at 4:30pm and I had in mind buying some new strings for my electric guitar (the only guitar I have that I don't use - hehehehe).

So I went to a local shop, Edgar's Music World, and got the new strings but then I saw the had something I've had my eye on for quite some time. It was a Behringer V-Amp 2, it's a modeler or multiple-effect box for guitar use. Since I don't have any pedals or effects (only the ones built-in my amp) I decided to purchase one... It was only $110, I thought it was going to go for more as music hardware here usually cost a lot more (and it is at $100 over any online store).
So I started testing it with my headphones and the sounds that come out of this thing is outstanding! I will definitely have to play more with it.

Now, I don't support piracy... all that much ;-) but I got the EZ Drummer software to see if I like it. Was going to test it yesterday but my neighbor wasn't at home (the copy it's on his laptop) so I believe that next week will be spend in front of a computer.

I've never been good with drums so I guess programmable drums is the only option for me!
I'll see if I can create some sound snippets and stuff with drums and my electric next week.

On other stuff, I'm going to Guayama this weekend and there should be a couple of movies waiting for me so my DVD list keeps growing and growing...

The bank still has not called me about my house.
Damn it! Who do they think they are?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

That's all.

Sugary POP!!! and I LOVE SUGAR!!!

Holy shiteeee...

I'm addicted to this electro-pop band called Belanova (from Mexico).
It has been messing with my head for over a month.
It's not the music as is, it's not really the lyrics all that much (the band is fronted by a woman
so some lyrics don't apply ;-) ), the thing is that I know what I like... it's the sound and much importantly the MELODY and Harmonies are related to emo and pop which I really like... I call this sugary pop! So this is one of their songs:

Nino

Niño es hora de partir
la vida me invito hacia otro lugar
sin ti
vez
tambien me duele
es
lo mejor
dejame irme
dejame partir

Amor sabes que es lo mejor
amor entiendeme
amor sabes que es lo mejor
esperare que tu lo entiendas

Piensa que todo pasara
no debes de llorar
las cosas son asi
sin ti
vez
tambien me duele

Amor sabes que es lo mejor
amor entiendeme
amor sabes que es lo mejor
esperare que tu lo entiendas

La vida tiene algo para ti
me duele no ser yo
lo siento niño debo de partir
entiendeme, entiendeme... amor oh, oh......

As you can see, there's not really much "meat" there (as in poetic structure, metaphors, blablabla) but when you hear the song ... holy ... I'm telling you... I'm completely addicted and this messes me up big time! I mean, I KNOW for a fact I can probably make a simple Piece Of Shit like this one and I'm not doing it! AAARRRRGHHHH!!!
Ok, maybe not quite as melodic, but as a whole, heck I know I can.

So what did I do?
I opened another account in which I'll put a % of my salary and for what?
I had mentioned that I was going to put things in perspective and get organized and I will do it.
This account will be to produce my own stuff in a real recording studio with real artists in the near future. I always said to my closest friends and family that I'll do something musically when I reach the age of 30. So this is one goal.

But damn... listening to this shit also makes me want to take that money and do something else with it!! hehehehehehe WOOOHOOOOO!! New Zealand here I come...
....
...
..
naaaahhh not yet. I'll probably make up my mind later!

Ok, so here's another one:

Escena Final

Hoy pense que podria ser actriz
y en los cines verme espectacular
y ser algo genial
seria sirena
y a los peces hablaria en frances
reina de una isla echa de ajedrez

Y en la escena final
todo seria muy feliz
tu podrias volar
yo no tendria que llorar
por ti, sin ti por ti, aha... sin ti

That's it!
No more... and still, I listen to the song overall and it's done beautifully (at least to me). I got reminded of Mecano and Fey the first time I heard "Rosa Pastel", with the synths and electro elements. Simple music done perfectly and you add the "toe-tapping" element and you get good pop.

Ok... I'm going to stop now.

If you get the chance, download the songs: Escena Final, Por ti, Nino, Rosa Pastel and you'll get what I'm saying! Or better yet, buy the CD!

And in a near future, you better buy my cd fuckers!!!!
No downloads!! hehehehehehe

Check it...

Great-grandma...

My dad called me today at work (pretty weird, he usually never calls) to buy some e-tickets
for my mother and him. It seems that my great-grandmother is still sick and they are going to
go visit her. My dad loves her like if she was his mom. I haven't (and will not) recognize my father's mother as my grand-mother, so that means that the only one left is "Maguela" so I hope she gets better cause I don't want to see her in a coffin yet (even though she is almost a hundred years old). And it's a weird thing also... my dad had a really rough time with them when he was young. In fact, my great-grand father hated my dad ... but in the end the only one who stood by them was him! It's weird... family, your own blood... you love, you hate, and despite all the bitterness you still stick together.

Speaking of family, haven't spoken to my sister in a while. In fact, I haven't seen her in more than a month. She did sent me her latest "Essay" and it's quite good. Actually that inspired me to start writing which is one of my resolutions this year.

Finally... as Cartman would say, "Excuse me guys, I'm going home..."

Heck of a way to start the New Year

I HAVE NO WORK TO DO!!!!!!!

AT least not yet.
It's going to come all at once when it comes, I know.
It's only the first week though so hopefully I'll get some packages to work and be busy
the whole year! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So ... one of my new years resolutions was to not get as depressed as last year. I think this can be worked out if I stop being such a pussy! So That's one thing I'll be working on this year!

Another resolution was to cut down on weight (at least 10lbs).
I think I can do this.
I think I can commit.

Let's see what else... wanted to start writing more.
Already found my topic regarding what I want to emphasize and a great example with an already established book (story) for easy understanding (not only for whoever reads it, but for me as well it is easy to deliver my ideas since I'm such a mess at organizing my thoughts).

I think those are a couple resolutions from the list I made.
Let's see how it goeeeeesssss...

Finally, ahhh.. this house stuff is a hassle.
Too much paperwork, so many things to hand out, sign, bla bla bla.
I'm going to go broke before February!!!
COUNT ON IT!!!!
