The Ambitious Summer

Dear WordPress blog,

I haven’t touched you in awhile, but I haven’t forgot about you. A lot has happened in my life over since I last posted on you, but since you are incapable of feeling emotions and having a response that can be interpreted by me, I don’t think I will or need to tell you anything. So anyway, your humble master has returned to post on you once again. I’ll stop rambling to/on you now, because, as I explained earlier,  it is pointless- except to entertain some bored minds who actually bother to read this stuff that I post on you.

Well anyway. Summer holidays are approaching. Its been a rather fast year; it started off slow, but it seems to be relentlessly accelerating. Especially upon the completion of the math exam today, the realization has dawned upon me that I, once again, must set an agenda to motivate me to do something worthwhile in the weeks that await me. So here is my ambitious summer. (Oh, and to the special english students who will have this realization dawn upon them tomorrow, I wish you the best)

  • Complete writing ‘Song #1‘ and ‘Song #5′
  • Complete writing ‘Pokemetal’
  • Complete writing ‘Electrometal’
  • Record ‘Electrometal’
  • Video of Towards Dead End
  • Start writing ‘A Whole New World’ -metal version
  • Start writing a neoclassical song
  • Improve my improvisation skill by ~200%
  • Get a whole lot better at Kissing the Shadows, Beyond the Dark Sun, Triptych, Technical Difficulties on guitar
  • Get a whole lot better at Downfall, Groan of the Wind on keyboard
  • Practice at least some piano
  • Get my Wintersun plays over 2000 on last.fm,  Equilibrium, Dark Tranquillity over 1500, Children of Bodom, Kalmah, L`arc~en~Ciel over 1000
  • Have at least 2 band practices
  • Come up with band names
  • Come up with song names
  • Come up with lyrical themes
  • Write lyrics (with help)
  • Start drawing the planned manga which cannot be named because it will compromise its uniqueness
  • Start scripting the planned manga which cannot be named because it will compromise its uniqueness
  • Draw some pretty pictures
  • Have at least 8 real-life poker days and/or nights
  • Get my facebook poker chip count over 25 million
  • Watch Zombieland
  • Watch at least 10 DVDs I have not seen before
  • Go fishing
  • Get a job (Yes, you can laugh, but I’ll think you’re mean)
  • Keep fit
  • Finish some anime that I somehow managed to stall on the last 2 or 3 episodes
  • Will my hair growth to speed up
  • Read through the Critical Thinking course notes
  • Ask myself: ‘Do I really want to do the Critical Thinking course’
  • If yes to above, then hope ever so dearly they accept me
  • Not crash car
  • Not get sick
  • Not encounter too many mean people
  • Test out a Korg Triton
  • Test out a Roland Juno G and/or Juno Stage
  • …more that I cannot think of right now to be added maybe soon, maybe later, maybe never.

So that’s that. Now, shall I get a start on it? *simultaneously opens facebook poker, picks up guitar, plays along to Children of Bodom with Last.Fm scrobbler on*
