Learning New and Old things....Mostly New

This weeks been interesting...

Monday and Tuesday I spent colour correcting a documentary till late on both evenings. Wednesday some of the guys and I played video games for a few hours round my house and I was surprised by the news that Tinman is going to buy a Wii next month. After jumping on Mario Kart for a while in which I had to switch to using the wheel because I kept winning on analogue controls because Tinman and Anyoman haven't played much I then introduced them to Guitar Hero 3 (mental note: must buy Guitar Hero 2 solos).

Once I kicked them out I went to the doctors to get advice about the affect shaving his having on my skin. From there went on to my second time at this connect group (FYI: connect group is my churches way of doing home groups where you get to know people and go over in more detail about the messages in church and other stuff). I met two really nice people and we talked about stuff we have on minds, I brought up something that's been bugging my recently; Forgiveness.

Is forgiveness something that you have to go through a period of feeling offence and then get over, however long or short that period my be? Is it an offence that matters so little to you you can rise above it?

Is it all of the above?

Thursday I actually picked up my acoustic guitar and beginners book and started to play, later realising that my tutors had arranged end of term drinks for all years of my course. Even though I had eaten very little that day (a bowl a cereal and a slice of bread) I rushed and left. This was a mistake!

Three pints and I'm gone!

I'm not a fan of being drunk, those days have long since gone therefore it was strange to have that feeling again. I didn't really do anything I wasn't in control of but yes my inhibitions where more relaxed so I did comment to this girl who I by no means fancy but radiates beauty when she smiles that she should take more descriptive photographs of her self smiling to represent herself online (facebook).

Next Day:

Oh my head!

Seriously why people actually do that to them selves week in week out is beyond me. The "my hobbies include pubbing and clubbing........" people really do make me feel sad. How empty!

More guitar: No one said my finger would hurt!

Saturday: Learnt how to mute my guitar but wondering if I'm doing it right. Scary thought; I'm only using one finger at the moment, thats three more fingers that have to get use to the pain to look forward to

kind of feels weird that i am reading this.....
I have been learning/trying to play my acoustic guitar for the past 6 years and guess what am still a beginner and yes your fingers do hurt apparantly it takes a while for your fingers to get used to the pain and become numb. its due to my lack of focus or determination i think I have picked up that thing 30 times in all the 6 years.

- seun i got here from twitter :)
