I beginning to feel the joy of making fun of eBay and its customers by making animated videos. This one is pretty funny but vulgar. This may seem like an exaggeration but in reality is a combination of 3 or 4 customer complaints. Yes I’ve seen it all. As I come across more eBay stupidness, I plan on making more videos depicting the situation. I could make a mint off of it, HAHA!

I’m all set to beginning learning the guitar. I have a pretty good start on it. As a music teacher, I had no piano so I used a classical guitar to play chords behind the students as they sang. I don’t consider this being a seasoned guitarist though. I know I’m a hack player.
I bought a guitar techniques book to use with my electric guitar. The premise of it is to learn techniques of the guitar in 30 days. I can’t barely play the first one. My fingers don’t stretch that far. The author has me playing these oddly constructed chords with voicings that I never use as a horn player. Then I must flawlessly transition between each chord change without a squeak, break, or missed note. Yikes. I think this will be more like a 30 year workout at the rate I’m going.
Otherwise I have my equipment. A custom built classical guitar with brand new strings and a humidifier. Also Gibson Les Paul and a Rivera Knucklehead with a 4×10 Marshall cabinet. Good gear makes you a good player right? HA! I suck, but I’ll get there.
Day one lets tango for a fifth time!
These things aren’t easy to find so when I saw a WX7 come up for sale on eBay I jumped on it. Right now it’s in transit and I will see it soon. I plan on buying all the spare parts possible for it so WHEN it breaks I’ll be in good shape. I’m excited!
So far I bought a Yamaha WX7 wind controller on eBay but I still need to pay for it. So it’s not exactly mine. I can’t wait to get it home!
Hopefully enough people bought stuff on eBay to fill my PayPal account (also that no one decides to do a yoink), to complete the transaction. There will be some awesome music making at my house for sure.
I found two images that I want to “combine” to make my tattoo. I want a hot chili pepper with his head on fire, running, and with an angry flaming face. I want to put my tattoo om my calf. I’m imagine it will be large.
Look at the pictures and see what you think.
Here are the things I have to do to reach my goal:
1. Take the motor cycle safety course. I don’t HAVE to do this but it will exempt me from taking the test and I get lower cycle insurance.
2. Decide which motor cycle I want to buy. I was originally considering a Honda Shadow but I want a nice cruiser so my husband and I can go on long trips. So I may go with a Goldwing instead, I dunno.
3. Sell some shit so I can buy it. I have enough stuff lying around of value to pay for the bike, my class, and all the accessories that go with it. I need to get my crap on craigslist and get it sold.
4. Buy helments and all the gear. Although Arizona doesn’t require a helmet, I’m smarter than that. I want to keep my noggin’ safe.
Then and only then I will have my motorcyle.
I studied saxophone in college along with being one of those “life changing music teachers”. Well the teacher thing was not glamorous at all an in fact has become a headache. So I am pulling out my saxophone and I am going to make an album. This shouldn’t be to hard. My husband is a sound engineer and so is his best friend. I can’t wait to get started.
