Hey Journal
I know it's been a while, but I pretty much feel obligated to make a post here. So besides feeling lonely and blue, My christmas was alright. I didn't get exactly what I wanted, but I guess santa must be getting old and forgot what I asked for. I DID get a Small amp and a Blonde Telecaster clone by Ibanez, which I'm looking forward to painting once the weather warms up, Along with a pair of slippers, some random stuff in my stocking, and $100 cash, I think I did alright. Well, for those who don't follow my FA page, My PC looked like utter shit, so I bought an Antec three Hundred. It's an awesome cool case, but since my Cooling fan sticks up like an inch above the top of the motherboard, I had to remove the super sexy 140mm Fan from the top. I SO plan on modding this case, but after taking my old case completely apart for the first time, I decided that it wasn't in terrible shapen and could probably be sold for 60-70 bucks if I give it a fresh coat of paint and some mods. But I digress...
Since I spent close to $70 at canada computers, Along with having to buy a strap for my new guitar, my money was pretty much gonzo v.v I was really looking forward to buying that BCD 300, but I've also been thinking of taking another direction... I realized that the reason I want the BCD 300 is because it has the cool jog wheels, a soundcard, and the ability to interact with music in the same way as a turntablist. But after a month of studying controllerism, I'm pretty certain that I could get a pretty decent set going if I assign the knobs and faders to different controls. Sure, I wouldn't be scratching and shit, but I would be trading those small aspects of turntablism to a whole new bag of tricks that DJ's only dream of doing.
But back to Christmas. The original plan of action was that I was going to get some money to spend, I was getting $200 guitar + amp + accessories pack from best buy, and that I would be getting some pretty decent shit like clothes and maybe something like socks, but instead my stepfather suggested that I could just buy an electric guitar + Amp off of him for $100, and when he brought it over the volume knob looked visibly broken and it would only work if you played around with it. So that's in the shop until it gets fixed, and I'm spending my whole christmas break without a guitar when I told my teacher that I would be practicing. Not only that, but I'm thinking "gee, if I was told that I'm getting some money for boxing day, and then on the 23rd I save $100 on a guitar, that I should get something a bit greater than $100 right? But then again on the other paw the "house" got a 32 inch Tv and a new microwave *in all fairness, the microwave was a gift from my older brother, but again I digress*
Actually, I'm gonna split up my post cause I don't feel like making this TL;DR
