Happy Tuesday everyone! Unfortunately I wasn't able to post a new blog over the weekend, due to my computer crashing! Good news though...it's fixed, well kinda. I figure I'll have it running smooth in a few days!
Let's talk about the "exciting" weekend I had! It was more of a lazy one for my daughter and I, got some housework done, watched a few DVD's (Chronicle's Of Narnia- one of her favorites Marley and Me, Idiocracy, and of course a little bit of House), a little online shopping (by the way The Children's Place has an awesome Spring sale...only cost $30.00 for 4 bottoms and 4 tops in her size), and fuzzy poster coloring. I'll tell you something, once you start coloring them you can get hooked, even as an adult. I'll have to put of some pictures of a few of them in another blog.
Well I'm going to cut this blog short, because my lunch is just about up, and I have to get back to work. So until next time...look at the glass half full!

Magical Friday
So it's finally Friday! Sorry for missing last night, I had a few things I needed to figure out, I'm still trying to figure those things out, any help out there?
I need to find a good music production software program for someone. The thing is, some of them are very difficult to use. (I don't recommend trying to use any music recording software if you have very little knowledge about computers) For example Live 4.0, Cakewalk Sonar, or Cubase Studio, Reaper... it tells you one thing to do but then when you get to that point it's not there. Either use your USB drive in then out or USB line connections don't match the in or out. There is also making sure you have audio connections, MIDI connections, sound card connections, and just connections in general correct. On top of it the books you can buy regarding these programs, are not helpful if your computer is missing 1 little file piece on your computer. This leads us to the tools in the program it self, your have create new AUDIO and MIDI files, create new instrument, create instrument effect, instrument volume, ect. (finding the instruments are simple though don't worry) Next mixing everything together. The good thing is REASON software allows all of this, and it's not too hard once you figure it out. Then just Re-wire/import it to your recording software. (Live 4.0, Cakewalk Sonar, Cubase Studio, Reaper)
Recording...ugh nothing ever works once your in these programs. Although on this computer if you use Media Player, and you plug in headphones to the microphone jack then hit record and talk into one earpiece, you can hear yourself while recording and "playback"! I swear I believe it is either the computer it self or the microphone. Live 4.0, well I'm not too sure if it may have anything to do with the fact that the box contained Live 6.1? Grr.. Guitar City will replace exchange that though. I have been able to "record" but then unable to "playback" on Cakewalk Sonar.On Cubase Studio...guess what happens? If you said it doesn't "playback" your CORRECT! Lastly brings us to Reaper, which was a free software download online. It placed too many files in too many locations from the gecko.
So in conclusion my computer knowledge just isn't enough anymore. I guess my best advise would be to check out prices on a new not used computer and start off fresh. Hey, You never know maybe Best Buy or even Walmart will have a computer at a reasonable price.

Oddly Interesting Questions, that everyone asks at some point.
Here your sure to find some interesting questions...face it we've all thought about.
1.Why when you go to the bank to cash your check on a FRIDAY, are there only like 2 people behind the counter when there can really be 10 but on TUESDAY when there only need to be 2 there are 10? Let me remind you it is a Friday and everyone and their mom gets paid that day...
2. Why do guys on myspace, facebook, twitter, ect. feel they need to send girls a message with "your fine as hell", "I wanna hit it", "Just give me a call sometime", "Your so interesting", or their life story, when we've never spoken to them before? Boys common... really, just move on!
3. Why do "bigger boned" people feel that wearing "Mickey Mouse", "Winnie the Pooh", ect.. skin tight, is so appealing? Anyone....???
4. Why does "Applebees" make "Rum and Cokes" that taste like straight gasoline? Plus they charge like $10.00... Is this what having a drink comes to now?
5. Why does "Coby" make a freakin DVD player? First off, Kolby ring a bell??? Cheese people, not electronics!
6. Why do ghetto ass apartments need deposits up the ying yang, and newer kick ass ones only need like $1.00? Um, ya they don't have money, that's why they enjoy trashing the place on move day...this should really be re-thought by the management companies.
7. Why is it that the first thing someone says when they call you is "...and how are you doing today"? I mean come on, everyone says fine...and you? Change it up, start rambling on nonsense, talk about grape sized hemorrhoids, anything. (This will assure that company's won't be calling you back)
Well that's all today, my future blogs may not, well mostly likely won't have anything to do with this one. I do apologize in advance, you never know what I may have to say each day.... See you tomorrow night!
