I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy some black or dark material that's light, flexible and strong, but still easy to work with. Anybody know anything like that? Thanks in advance. Working on basslines and stuff, but my nails are starting to get in the way, so I'm going to have to cut them soon. I'm still saving up for that camera, so I'm hoping I'll have enough cash by the end of summer. Thinking about more lyrics again, so I'm working on another song. I'm going to Rhode Island a week from today, just a heads-up.

Anyways, just some weird shit. I was watching the history channel today, and there are some weird tattoos. There are all sorts of different ways to get tattoos done. Some people get invisible tattoos that can only be seen under UV light, and other people get tattoos on their eyeballs. But it wasn't just about tattoos. There was this guy that had two tongues and on the back of his hand, he had a ring under his muscle, so it popped out and it looked really messed up. It's called an "underside piercing" or something.

I went on a hike with some youth agency kids today, and the person who organized it said that we could have free use of the Maxx whenever we want, we just have to ask. *Hint Hint* Will. Not that I didn't know that already, but that's good to know that it's not too difficult to set up a time.

I'm suddenly even more interested in technology and nature than usual, so I'm delving back into both. I'm spending a lot more time outside, and I'm taking stuff apart, cleaning it, fixing it, and putting it back together again. Like my recently deceased Amp, for example. I'm hoping I can get it fixed, but I don't know. I'll have to do without it for a while. I love to create things, which is why I tend to spend my time drawing, making music, and other things. Carving stuff, building things, taking photos, and making videos. That's the whole reason I want my own camera. So I can do that more often.

Earlier, I said I'm writing more basslines and whatnot. In addition to that, I happened upon the one guy who can tab things correctly on the entire internet. So I'm working my way through learning the basslines to every song in the album Blood Sugar Sex Magik by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I'm hoping that will inspire me to branch out and go in a new direction with my music. That way I can continue to strive forward instead of rediscovering the same basslines over and over again. Lately, it seems like no matter how often I variate dead notes (also known as ghost or muted notes) pop and slap styles, regular rhythm style, picking, harmonics, slides, hammer-ons, double-grooves, whatever, I just keep going back to the same things over and over again. So I've decided that I'm going to take up bass guitar lessons again as soon as this summer is over.

What are you guys expecting high school to be like, by the way? I'm just curious. I think I'm probably going to have a hard time going from class to class with no homeroom friends or anyone to help me out. I'm probably going to be ten or twenty minutes late to every class for the first week, XD.

Anyway, I have to go eat dinner before I go see the Dark Night with my brothers, so I'll see you later. I know it was a long journal, but I had a lot to say. Hence the paragraphs.
Later

:EDIT: I may be able to get my camera sooner than I thought.
