Fever

So while in the shower this morning, i thought of a typical, moderately humorous stand-up joke.

"Okay okay, story of my life; Who here tonight, has ever, or would ever, sleep with a man, OR a woman who weighed over 400 pounds?" *waits to see who raises hands and whoops and screams for chasing chubsters* "Okay, that wasn't part of the joke i just wanted to see who was honest with themselves... anyways!"

ha. funny. crowd laughs. whoops more.

Why i named this post "fever" is beyond me. I don't like fevers. i don't have one. I don't like being sick. I'm not.

I noticed recently that your throat can hurt from lack of sleep. Yet, for the past 4 nights i have slept amazingly, dreams that actually seem like the slow progression of time, rather than 5 minutes in a 4 hour span. On a sidenote, this has led me to believe that i may actually sleep better due to the morose thoughts and occurences i've experienced in those days. A question arises, Can sadness cause you to sleep better?

Moving on, my throat usually is sore for about 15 minutes after i awake. Not really sure what causes this, i remember my cousin used to take medicine for something of this nature, not sure if he still does, but it was prescribed.

Continued writing new lyrics and music. The album is developing nicely.
I am losing my sense of needing to conform to Justin Vernon's style in terms of song names, feel between songs, number of songs, etc. I feel that the large influence is slowly replacing the need to copy technique. I have 9 planned songs, lyrics for 5 or 6, music for 4 or 5, slowly but surely the music is indeed my best. I know that planning is coming well but too far in the future as far as where to record, how, etc. Just using Acoustics, harmonica, folk instruments, etc, very little drums. The vocal style is fully developed as far as my taste goes. Changing some lyrics for songs, i hate writing at school putting the note in my pocket and loosing track of it. I was lucky enough to remember them by mind the other day and write them down, then discover i didn't like them so i just rewrote the whole song which actually fit well. Came up with ideas for the songs in terms of progression. Not totally sure but have a better idea. Sorry for the short hand, i'm in second period and i'm just throwing thoughts out there. Building a Cabin, reflecting on the pain and hurt and experiences, ending with leaving for the spring and such, red room as far as developing goes, the progress towards inner peace after the catharsis and pained heart.

Found some delightful plans for a cabin for 29 dollars, a decent size for a studio, building should commence soon. Makes me happy that dad works at a sawmill so the lumber for building is free. Probably going to remove soem of the original sections of walls to make room for a larger main space for recording. Picked out the microphones and such, new amp soon, still need to find easy cheap but good sound padding. Need to get mixcraft and netbook or computer to put out. Moving piano and guitar equipment out into the cabin once it's built. Hopefully we can either finish it before winter has been gone too long or by summer and record there. It would definitely make the album more like a past tense biography like a reflection on my time writing and the very songs that they themselves reflect on tribulations and personal journey. Reflection on reflection. House of Mirrors. Pretty interesting. I think i'll call the cabin that. Indeed. Thank you blogging, you have allowed me to reflect on my own thoughts and inner metaphor/simile presented in life.

I am super hyped for marching band rehearsal tonight. Tomorrow is the first home game, and i can't wait to throw down (hopefully... let's not suck it xD )

sorry for the long blog and again mass amounts of short hand.

Adios!
