Honest Forest Rangers

So my age-celebration day came and went and now I can more firmly describe myself as entering fogey stage one. This should bode well for my hipster credentials. Hopefully as my babyface subsides I'll pick up the air of an older man and get promoted at work. My co-worker just recently got bumped up in status out of left-field, which is encouraging because nobody gave him a chance for it. Good on him. 

Last night I managed to stick to my plan of staying up all night making a new dance tune with Reason/Garageband. I'm very pleased with everything except my awful singing... I'm learning how to arrange notation around the beats much better, copying and pasting simple lines and then modifying the notes afterwards to keep steady rhythms (because I'm shit at playing live keyboards, but much better at poking around with computer keyboards and programs). My dad would probably be horrified that I choose this route to make music rather than spending the hours actually learning how to play keys, but I'll save that painstaking process for my guitar and bass guitar playing. 

The debate rages in my head over the benefits vs. drawbacks of purchasing a gaming PC. 

Benefits:
-Badass gaming 

Drawbacks:
-Loss of social life/time
-Money pit

listen to this:
El Caco - The Glow
