Pleasant surprise.

So I had a cheap camera I got for free a year or so ago. It never really worked well, I only really used it to take pictures when I sold stuff online. I kinda wanted to use it for when I get to travel. Of course it stopped working a week or so ago and I couldn't get it going again. I think I might've mentioned it to my girlfriend once that I wanted to buy a new camera.

I came home wednesday to a mysterious box and envelope from the bestbuy return center...I assumed my brother ordered something but he said it was for me. So I opened it up to find a brand new camera and even a new memory card. My girlfriend (who also happens to be on the other side of the world at the moment) bought this for me and had it shipped to me. What a surprise! Gotta keep that girl!

I was trying to sell my stingray but I haven't been having much luck. I ended up moving him to a bigger tank so I can sell the smaller one. Now that he is in there, he is much more active and shows a really interesting pattern so I might end up keeping him.

I retuned my guitar to standard tuning (it was detuned to C# so I can play death metal). Mostly because I've been in a Steve Vai mood. All I used to do when I was in high school was try and play his songs. Now that I'm good enough, I'm trying to go back and learn a few all the way through. It certainly isn't easy but I like the challenge.

I'm trying this song, but I've tried it a few times before and only got about halfway through....the part at 2:42 is just not fair :(

April can't come soon enough

I can't wait for April 14th...because its my next trip. 10pm and I'll be off for Turkey. Annie and I are going to have the bombest spring break vacation ever. A romp around Ankara, some istanbul action and then some trouble in transylvania. Hungary might get thrown in there too. I'm never been to Europe so I'm excited and 3 weeks is a good long trip to relax and have a good time. Now I just have to find my passport...
