So this Saturday was our Rock Band party. We had a fantastic time with a great bunch of guys, and I hope we can have another one again soon. Besides me and Joe, we also had our gaming friends Pat and Mike, plus Joe's friend from work, Andy, and his roommate (David) and best friend (Eddie). I'd never met the latter three men before, so it was also great to meet cool new people. And they were, too! Not only were they nice guys, but they were also willing to get up there and sing.
I've been trying to play guitar on hard lately. (So the next person who chooses Disturbed's "Inside the Fire" as the last of a three-song set when I'm playing on hard gets popped over the head with a plastic guitar). I can tell it's working, because medium is starting to seem slow now. I'm missing easy stuff on medium because I'm not paying it enough attention. There are still some medium-difficulty songs that are a challenge ("Down With The Sickness" is killer), but I can tell I'm ready to move on for the most part. I never thought I'd be able to play hard before, which makes me think some day I'll even attempt expert.
Then one day I'll challenge Tom Morello to a real guitar battle, and he'll be like, "Whoa, do you know how to play guitar?" and I'll be like, "Yeah, bitch. Bring it. I can even play...on expert." And he'll be like, "No way, dude. Just take my money and go." Then he'll cry.
