Hello kids, i bet you've missed me!
A lot has happened over the few weeks so i have not had much time to write, Sadly. Im going to try to become better at this now.
Im also partial to switching the blog into swedish instead. I dont know why but it feels like it would have a more serious look then.
People have often told me "never write in any language then your own" I might not be great with English but, im even worse with swedish! Im having trouble finding a flow in the text to make it feel personal.
Anywayyy...
The News:
Musikteori.se is going reaaally slowly. im stuck at chap 7. The reason for this is that I've decided to start school. Although, to get the loans i need to study some subjects before hand. That causes a problem, I'm currently living on "wellfare" or "soc" as we call it. Its not glamorous but I get by. In order to successfully finish my "pre-studies" and get the loans I'm gonna have to study a whole lot, but if i do that I might lose my soc. My study counsellor fixed me up to get "praktik" a sort of try-out job with this music teacher at one of the bigger schools here in Sundsvall, for three days only. If I manage to fix everything so that i can go with this guy 50% of the time and study the remaining 50% soc is still going to give me money. This is a far off hope though, its seems a little to good to actually be happening.
I've decided that i want to teach music, For the first time in my life i have an actual goal. It gives me a driving force to study.
It feels really, really good. Although, after being with Fredrik from school today I've started to feel like it might be to hard, I might not be able to make it. That the time wont be enough, That Im just not good enough. These are dangerous thoughts because i feel that saying your not gonna make it is the first step towards failing. I need to get myself together in order to make this happen. I've got a lot of support from my friends, parts of my family doesn't seem to be on the same page though, that messes with me.
Pale had a gig in the south of Sweden, 9 hour car ride, i drove all the way there and all the way home, Bassist as i am. (Bassist is music terms for "Driver") It went fairly well, I did not perform my best, not even close but over all it went quite good. Staffans guitar went out off tune on the last song, but hey watchagonnado!? We'll be posting a vblog sometime soon.. hopefully.
I've played drums a couple of times, my body is starting to get adjusted. Still Im having trouble finding the 1 in each beat. I have to practice that. oh, i wish i was 14 again! I've also realised that I have to practice WAY WAY WAY more bass, and also give the guitar a real crack!
I was given a soild guitar bridge today, so now im finally going to be able to get my guitar together. I ripped the floyd rose bridge from it the other week in pure frustration.
Thats all for now! Take care kids.
