The Snooze button

The snooze button is a horrible horrible invention, I find myself hitting the damn thing for an hour every morning, even if I put my phone all the way across the room it still happens.  I think that they should equip all alarm clocks and alarms on phones with some sort of physical and mental challenge that you must complete before you can turn off the alarm. 

It would be either be the greatest thing ever or result in the largest amount of damaged phones and clocks on the planet.  Something to think about.

Man I haven't blogged in forever and this is all I can think of, I'll come back with something better, I promise.

The Gift of Music

I've been playing, or dabbling, in guitar for the past 7 years or so now.  It's never been something that I've taken seriously to be honest.  I'll pick it up for a little bit, play a song or two, then put it away for another month, repeat the process.  But recently I've been re introduced to an old friend of mine, the electric guitar courtesy of my friend Darren.  I had the pleasure of playing his electric guitar last week and decided to buy my own.  And I'm very glad I did. 

Since the purchase of my new toy I've played everyday for various amounts of time.  Now to a lot of people, including me, the act of playing guitar can be a very daunting task.  There's a lot of knowledge behind it, thousands of notes and chords, numerous positions to play in, millions of songs to learn.  It can be very intimidating at times. 

But I'm realizing that when you go at your own pace the experience can be extremely rewarding.  And I think that that can be said about so many aspects of our lives.  Don't think that you need to learn everything all at once, whether it's giant strides or baby steps, you'll get there eventually.
