Awesome! SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket lifts off. Let’s get ourselves to Mars, people!
Back in 2008, Jen, Larry, Nawal, and I got to see a space shuttle launch while we were on vacation in Florida. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. I can’t wait for Americans to start getting ourselves back into space. Mars or Bust!
He doesn’t look or sound anything like Han Solo. Is that going to bother me? I hope not… but it might.
Disappointing day for me today. I made myself get up early so that I could take advantage of the small window of time that being the last one out of my house each day gives me. I was shooting for an hour, but it was more like 20 minutes. Oh well. I tried to write and record lyrics and vocals for song #1. I couldn’t come up with anything. I was totally blank. I couldn’t even find a good pitch to start singing on. It was weird. That sort of thing never happens. I brought up song #2 and I was able to hum a melody but I was still blank on lyrics.
That’s all I have managed to accomplish today. Kinda sad. I’ll try and get up early to give myself another crack at it tomorrow, but it’s really late now and I need some sleep. I expect getting up 60-90 minutes early is going to be difficult tomorrow. We will see.
No new song ideas today, but still some decent progress. I added rhythm guitar to two songs, and worked out the song form for two others. As of now there are seven songs underway. Three have guitars and are ready for vocals. Three more are ready for rhythm guitars, and the last one is still just a couple of bass lines.
More progress tomorrow, hopefully.
I knew there was a good reason to watch the superb owl tonight!
This is the RPM Challenge works in progress playlist. Things will be updated as I go. Not much there at this point, but I’m working on it. Leave me alone!
My love and I just came back from our first weigh in at weight watchers. In the past I have posted the weigh in results here because I want to motivate myself… somehow. Does it work? Probably not. It’s just something I did.
This time I think I am going to hold off for a few weeks at least. Why? Because the first weigh in was so good I am a little embarrassed. I don’t want someone else who is just starting off to read my number and get down on themselves because theirs isn’t that drastically positive. I think I’ll wait for a trend to develop before I start sharing numbers.
Obligatory post RPM tracking photo.
I made a little bit of progress on two of the song ideas. One song now has two tracks of rhythm guitar. The other has a full song form. It’s less than three minutes, but it’s kinda groovy. I like it so far. I’ll probably find a way to kill it soon enough.
I’m hoping to make better progress tomorrow, but there is a lot of family time planned. It’s my step son’s 15th birthday. There’s some football game too, but I don’t care about that.
