Today was a better day!
Today has been super busy! I got up this morning around eight, packed my bag for the gym, then had my light breakfast of protein and bananas. Shortly after i was picked up by Karn, who yesterday kindly offered to give me a lift down to the gym! He's becoming a really good friend t be honest, and he's one of the better people i know.
At the gym it was all about the biceps, shoulders, and chest today! I've always had skinny arms, so i superset my biceps when i work them, it seems to be the only way i can get results! There were a few newbies at the gym today too. I don't like to think of myself as a gym veteran, but i do cringe when i see new guys lift. But then again i was like that last year, so i keep my mouth shut. When ever i work out, i don't actually listen to music. I've tried it, and i find it too distracting. I start to bob my head along to whatever i'm listening too at that moment, and lose focus on the set. This raises the issue of being able to hear what others are saying in the gym. Most of the time i can tolerate it, because all the regular guys down there keep to themselves and focus on what they're doing. But there were two ass-holes there today who just wouldn't shut the fuck up. The gym is for working out, not to talk about you hurting your back when you "punched that guys lights out", you gollum fuck.
Anyway, after a quick sauna and shower, i met back up with Karn around eleven to play some pool! He beat me again, seven games to six, but it was fun all the same! He then dropped me off at uni, where i learnt about Hans Zimmer's use of samplers in Inception, and various video games. It was mildly interesting. I was also handed a Cajon at some point, which i'm borrowing for a few weeks from another guy called Matt! A Cajon is an acoustic percussion box, with a snare resting on one side to make an interesting percussive sound! I need this for the upcoming gig i have. It is the first time i will be playing solo! Yes. I AM PLAYING A GIG WITH MY OWN MUSIC. Exciting/frightening stuff!
I had work today as well, but it is my last day of work for the week, which is a bonus! The delivery shift went swiftly, and we left on time which was good!
Now writing this in bed while waiting for a video edit to bounce out on my mac. The video is part of a webseries i'm doing, which is focusing on the process of making an album! I'm having fun with it, and i'm using these videos for my final portfolio this year with uni!
Been listening to some old band stuff while writing this. There's talk that Mammoth may return soon, we shall see.
