Thinking in Guitar Hero and Rock Band

"OMG! Don't you agree that this song would be perfect/so much fun to play on Guitar Hero (or Rock band)!?..." *arms in air guitar mode* ".. can't you just picture playing this song?" *begin playing air guitar hero guitar* "red.. yellow.. orange.. red.. blue.. blueyellowredyellowblue.. double note red and orange.. hold it reddddddddddddddddddd blllllluuuueeeeeeeee greeeennnnnnn....."(all while making the sound for the game as well, i would give you an example.. but some of those sounds.. are.. impossible to type :p ) Call me crazy but; why does it seem that once you play GH or Rock Band after a few times it seems like you think in that mode, with every song you hear you can picture the notes/playing it in the game.? Okay well maybe it's just my friends and me who does(do) it; yet again we cosh a.k.a. car mosh as well as break out into spontaneous car dance parties, blast classical music and rock out to it (yes it actually makes everyone in the surrounding cars laugh and smile and some even join in), Mia and I get down with our country music, Kira and I go crazy.. to... well.. pretty much anything and everything. It's quite a sight I must say, but hell at least we keep the tone fun, fresh and full of laughter, there's never a dull moment with us.

Currently our Rock Band name is the Annexation of Puerto Rico .. but sadly it's taken on the live mode so we were also thinking of The Last Action Hero's, Double Double Toil and Trouble.. and so on and so forth.. yes we sound like we straight out of Vh1's World Series of Pop Culture.. but what is wrong with reminiscing on the things/movies/phrases we grew up on? we still have yet to have a singer for our "band". haha. this game is amazing, though we are probably the laziest band ever, we play siting down.. me practically laying down (or contorting myself into.. whatever)... yet again it is sad that we have these band video games and kids are focusing a lot of their time and energy into becoming pro at the GH guitar instead of actually learning to play an ACTUAL guitar (you know.. one that has strings and you play cords/notes instead of buttons?.. okay so I am preaching to the choir here, but at least I can play the banjo and piano.. and the recorder.. hell yes! haha.

As I said in a previous blog.. our world is turning into a different place, we grew up living for recess in school, spending as much time as humanly possible outdoors playing contact sports, building forts or tree houses, climbing trees, biking off into the sunset, running around, tether-ball (remember how much is Fuc*ing hurt to get smacked in the head with that ball?), handball, 7up, ultimate Frisbee, capture the flag, dodgeball, kickball..etc now... kids still do all of this.. yet instead of experiencing this first hand they do in a virtual world.... Don't get me wrong.. I am a nerd and play video games too I own NES, Atarti (now broken), N64, PS2, and xbox live.
We're the last generation to use Polaroid camera's, film cameras, cord phones (before one could "walk and talk", cassette tapes, VHS movies and even use VCRs (you know how frickn hard it is to find a VCR these days?), even vinyl records are becoming obsolete.

For all you hockey fans out there.. I am going to the majority of the follow Duck Games, I may be able to get around 5 extra FREE tickets to see this game, due to the fact that the guy who owns the ducks is who the school i work for is named after, so on occasion they hand out free tickets

Mar 2, 2007 HOME Sharks
Mar 4, 2007 HOME Predators
Mar 7, 2007 HOME Coyotes
Mar 9, 2007 HOME Oilers
Mar 11, 2007 HOME Canucks
Mar 14, 2007 HOME Blue Jackets
Mar 16, 2007 HOME Blackhawks
Mar 18, 2007 HOME Kings

Just so happens the guy who the school/department I work for (my head boss), owns the Ducks, so *high fives* for free Hockey tickets... yes I am chick.. yes I like hockey, so be it! I like to watch MMA, football, basketball and go to baseball games as well.

I am a world traveled blonde hair green eyed girl. I spent my summers in my house in Mexico or traveling with my dad as he gave lectures about the 4th dimension around the world, or spent it in the humid south in Elizabethton, Tennessee (far NE part of the state). I spent my time there having "tea" (id just drink soda aka pop) parties with my grandma (the just for fun kind nothing fancy), running around the river/lake/pond (whatever it was) and feeding the ducks.. yess... this was the second time I got bit on the cheek by an Ostrich (first time was in Switzerland) *chuckles*, having her teach me to play the banjo and the piano, laying in bed at night and having her come in and we'd count the number of lights on the trucks that passed and see if we could beat last nights totals.
Youth is the land of innocence

Woah! totally sidetracked myself and went far off on a tangent.. I think I need to step into my teleport(-er) to get back to where I was.
