ARRGH ME MATEYS!!!

Ok so last night i went to bed around 9:15 hence why no blog. was doing stuff up until then. I was going to bed in order to wake up earlier :) I did but not as early as i had expected to. I have been waking up around 11 11:45 ish going to bed around you know anywhere from 2 in the morning to 4 lol. So i assumed that i would wake up closer to 6 8 ish... no.... i woke up at !):#)... this < is what happens when you try to cap numbers lol if you can decode that i woke up at 10:30!!!!!!! I slept for over 13 hours after going to bed early... not cool Anyway lol. Music stuff is going well i'm building bar chord stamina. Learned a new song yesterday for worship and it is comprised of the same 4 chords... C#m A E and F#m C#m and F#m are both bar chords but to make transitioning easier (or so i thought) i play barchord A which is one fret from C#m as opposed to a 3 fret leap (not that big a deal just like bar A more in terms of sound) so three barchords i'm basically repeating over and over again lol for like a good 5 8 minutes lol. a long way to say that my hand was HURTING!!! halfway through lol. I know you don't care but i'm used to bar chords that much lol. A lesson in stamina. Still waiting for that mic :) and oh boy is that day going to be sweet :D. Well have a good night all. Oh and i still need to work on my choral piece. still not sure what i want to do though... Lots of inspiration though from Stroope's setting of I Am Not Yours by Sara Teasdale... SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE!!!

My day today

Hello one hello all :) SO today was a pretty good day. woke up and relaxed mostly. Took a shower finally lol. Was suppose to go to an open mic night but that kinda fell through. I'l find one around my house that i can go to soon. So i shold have enough money soon to get my KSM out of holding. I CAN'T WAIT!!! I'll have enough to get some cables and pay bills soon then i need to find some work still. I don't know why i'm blogging when all i really do is journal lol There's no real topic of discussion. Well I'm borrowing my friends preamp. It's a Presonus Bluetube. I love that thing. Sounds so good. There's a single channel version of it at the pawn shop by my house. I may just get it.

Today was pretty much just hang out with Josh and Nathan. and go to bed at a decent hour lol. I totally just though today was some phantom day lol. I ost track of time and forgot what happened what day lol. This is why you shouldn't stay up 5 hours into the next day lol. Well i love music and recording. I plan to make this what i do in life :) Then teach once i've had the experiences of life andm y students don't have a rookie for a teacher lol. They'll have a seasoned vet :D Life choices.... soo many of them. Well goodnight my lovlies. Soon i'll have a following who cares about how my day was and i'll have more entertaining antics for them lol.

Peace love and music

WUT IT DO?

ok i'm late night bloggin proly gunna sleep forever tomorrow lol. Sorry my las few blogs were crap lol. The text thing doesn't work when i send 7 texts as on lol. Technology can be so finicky sometimes lol. Well new news. I now have an interface. My home recording studio is slowly being built and growing. Right now it looks as though i'll be buying all of my components like paying of that mic and buying a preamp and what not before i get a comp. so 2 mics a dynamic and a condenser, an interface, and a preamp will be the beginnings of my setup.

Right now i'm listening to Jane Lui and staying up way to friggin late but listening to Jane makes it ok lol :P. I've made some major progress on my songs. My buddy Jonathan Lord gave me some songwriting tools that he learned in a songwriting class he took :) GOOD stuff man. I'm almost done with two that i've been "working" on for a while now lol. I love my little M-audio Mobile Pre. I got it for 50 bucks. my eyes are so heavy. I was foing so well going to bed on time lol. I really want to run face first into my girlfriend lol. wherever she may be may her lips be longing for mine lol for mine long for hers... ok enough of the mushy stuff wouldn't want you up-chuckin on your keyboard. Jane Lui so pleasant lol :D i want her album. I need money so i can support her. I can't wait for Take Me For Now to be done. well i'm up way too late about to be up later... lol Nate just walked in like 2minutes ago. listening to something he worked on today.

Oh I got to record on my buddy Brian Svehaug's album. I'm the whistle on one of his tracks :) on my way to being a pro whistler. :D well i'm tired and have nothing else to say i guess lol. I look forward to recording more and making good music that i love and people who love real music will love :) love you all. And honey, wherever you are know you're in my arms every night of my life :)

If you saw a panda...

Lookies like ima be raomin round for the week or so. goin to vegas with the fam will proly be away from a computer for a couple of days :( but hey i need it lol. I just set it up so i can blog via my phone. my thumbs will be quite tired lol. Still tryna make that green :P lol. i WANT THAT MIC IN MY HANDS!!!! :D

right now i'm a little frustrated lol. I'm trying to get my keyboard working in Ableton but it ain't workin. I need to get it working lol. so i can hear a bit better what one of my covers is going to potentially sound like. Albeit it's gunna be crappy lol because of the midi instruments but i'll be able to get the sounds worked out more clearly lol. I really like saying lol. Every other word seems to be lol.

Well i'm off to make this keyboard work and get some sleep :) love you all thanks for reading.

... would you give him a hug or feed him bamboo? :P

I want to be me

Ok. So, so far i'm failing pretty hard when it comes to the songwriting thing lol have written nothing new i have to write 2 tonight before i go to sleep to catch up lol. And i'm actually going to bed before 2 wut? I reall want to try this thing out called going to sleep when i'm actually tired. it's never too early to sleep unless it's too early lol. Well i'm going to read some bleach then write some then go to bed.

Still tryin to figure out the money situation and what to blog about other than my life lol. i mean i know i need some actual content to put up so when i get readers they don't die from babble eye lol. This condition will set in after reading an excess of babble. I REALLY want that mic. I mean it's such a great mic according to reviews. Seen nothing bad about it. So new music to be up soon. hopefully in the next couple of weeks i can get this thing rolling along. One song will be about how i just want to break free and do the things that make me happy but i know people will think i'm crazy for it. and i guess another song about food maybe.

Well people stay dry, tip your waiters/ waitresses, and brush your teeth cavities bite... does anyone else see the irony in the cavity statement lol :P.

Peace peeps.

The first of many to come...

This is the first of many to come. First off i'm up WAY too late. This is one habit i need to change. I will attempt to challenge myself for a certain amount of time (yet to be decided) to write a song a day. No matter how bad or well versed it is. As long as it comes from the heart. i will also attempt to blog everyday. This may be difficult in some situations when no computer is available but we'll see what happens.

For those of you wondering i am Ray Fairley a.k.a. Speedjenga. i am a singer/ songwriter who has so far completed 3 songs but is currently attempting to finish a multitude of different works haha. I have many poems completed but lack in songs that are finished and ready to be polished. I guess i'll kind of just write about what's going on in my life and processes when writing my songs and how i'm coming along with them. not really sure yet.

Well right now i'm looking for work so that I can start up my home based recording studio/ get some equipment to allow me to put covers up on youtube that are better than normal. I ramble when i'm tired. Looks like it's time to go to bed. I'll talk to you all later. If you're reading thanks :)
