Where is the Theory!?
I've been practising guitar a lot more in the last few days. Maybe its that somehow I feel that eventually I can do vocals and play guitar. It is really a long shot if you ask me. I also lack the theory behind guitar chords. Which means I am at a deficit when trying to play ska chords that work together and or in the same key. This weekend I might be able to learn a bit of guitar theory so I can be more useful. It is definitely strange to have red fingertips again. It is a good feeling! I am very disappointed in myself for not practising guitar like I used to. I was distracted by other things in my life. I forgot how much relaxation I can get from just sitting down and playing through a chord progression. It is even better when now I'm playing ska riffs. They are upbeat and make things even more enjoyable.

Fog
I don't know what it is but for some reason I have a thing for fog. It is foggy outside this morning. I can't sleep so I figured now would be a good time for a blog post. This fog reminded me a lot about the night I went in to a open area and all I could see was white snow and fog. It was very peaceful to me. The fog also has a nice way of distorting light and I could even say it puts a mood into the air. I know some people get an eerie feeling when walking in fog, but to me it is calming. It could be something about the fog obscuring all the things in society or nearby buildings. Another thing about the fog is the way it effects light. Something about seeing the radiance of something in the air is quite fascinating. When there is fog everything seems much quieter. I think this quietness really adds to the peaceful effect of fog on me. If only I could just go for a walk right now through the fog. That would make for a very relaxing and peaceful evening. Well I'm going to try and call it a night. I really need to get my sleep schedule fixed. Being unable to sleep until early morning is most likely not good for me with school and work.
