New song called Smile (It's Morning) after a teacher came up to me and said it. It was misty on my walk to school, so I was damp. I guess that the mist... (chuckles) DAMPENED my mood. I was walking up the stairs, and he said it. And I thought "Hey. That's an idea!" And then I smiled all the way to my first class.
Weird how things just happen like that, isn't it?
Otherwise, not much new stuff.

Before you know it:
An atomic explosion mushroom cloud the size of an atom but the size of Manhattan at the same time, blew up in his face, disentigrating, reassembling his molecules to red ash. The cloud curled, yellows, oranges, and reds, turning the grass brown and setting the sky on fire. The cloud fizzled out into the air, and when the dust settled, the spaceship was still climbing. The spaceship flew up and up, pieces left behind, the skeleton of the pod floating up still, with the ash inside. And the red ash turned to blue, and then to green, glowing almost. No one witnessed this scene, this color changing scheme scene. A tear grew out of this green ash, a gleaming blue ocean raindrop tear. Reaching its tipping point in the ionosphere, almost reaching the outskirts of our orbit, pod crashing back down to Earth. Further... and further... and further... until it reached our troposphere, dropping further, landing as it launched on the pad. The green ash then grew, filling the pod and exploding the pod in another mushroom cloud. The ash hung in the air, the crowd appalled at what they saw. "I saw Heaven." Then blowing off in the wind, filling the air with glowing green ash. The crowd remained silent.
All of a sudden, the title 10 Days Until Space Cadet came to me. It makes no sense, but in the context of the song it does. The lyrics are sort of about that feeling that you know you're going into something and you might not be coming back.
Sort of inspired by a history lesson, where an untrained regiment of recently freed black slaves during the Civil War attacked a fort. Leading them was a white man, Robert Gould Shaw, and he was within inches of the opposite side's soldiers. Many think he went into it knowing he was going to die. Once the command to fire was called, he was killed, among with half of his men.
So the space cadet is running away from what he thinks is going to be a suicide mission, and I still don't know what his fate is going to be yet. Whether he actually goes on the flight or whether he goes through a complete identification change is still a mystery.
Stay tuned...
I learned Satin in A Coffin by MM today. It's a pretty fun song to play, even though I can't do Brock's falsetto (and never will.) It's a pretty powerful song, but I'm afraid that I'm doing too many covers. I need more good originals. In the words of one of my friends: I NEED MORE MASS!!! Haha. That's taken totally out of context.
14-32 more days until I record.
287,103 minutes until Christmas.
Recording sometime between the end of this month and July. I want to record a lot more this summer, get a lot of songs done. ("I want" being the keyword)
Don't know the title to one, but the other's called Well We Went, a very nice, chill piece. Seeing as how the base chord's F sharp, maybe I could find some type of segue into Pyramid Song. That would be cool.
The other one's pretty intense, almost Well We Went's evil twin brother, since I wrote them within a day of each other.
Paris Hilton's out of jail. I could usually care less about news, especially entertainment news, but this caught my eye.
They say she got out because of a medical condition, but what about all the other inmates at the jail?
Some people die in jail.
But do people recognize them?
What makes her so special?
A slap on the wrist.
