Auto-Tune

Please welcome arsonal g.d. productions to the Auto-Tune club. I'm sure by now you've heard it in action even if you haven't heard of the actual product. T-Pain has based his career off of it, Kanye's 808's & Heartbreaks album is full of it, and Lil Wayne hasn't turned his off in almost a year. I've had this plug in for the last 6 months or so but only used it for its original purpose and that is to correct the pitch of people who miss notes on occasion. It's used in a completely different way these days. Seeing as how its part of the musical landscape and makes people with little to no talent ready for the radio i figured it would help me with my singing voice. The thing makes you sound pretty fantastic and as soon as i write and record a song that's worthy of your time it'll be posted. Stay tuned!!! (pun intended)

ONE-TWENTY-TWOTHOUSAND-NINE

 

I'm all late. But i gotta say I'm still inspired by all the events for the 56th inaugural. I just got back from DC last night so i really hadn't had a chance to write--but the whole scene was crazy. There weren't 4 million people there, it was probably more like 3 mill but still, when you see that many people in a relatively small space for one man it gives you chills. Maybe the chills were from the 22 degree high for the day. I drove up, and on the way my heat decided not to work so i was cold from the time i left Atlanta up until last night. The drive was long and arduous. The walk from the metro to the national mall was longer than the drive. Not to mention i was up for a good 30+ hours. But with all that, knowing the circumstances I'd do it again in a heart beat. Like my brother said "the juice is worth the squeeze." Supposedly there were 1.8 million people on the mall with another million or so on the parade route and at the end of the day there were no arrests. I guess people had respect for the moment. Oh yeah i ran this weekend but thats sooo not worth writing about

2008

Its crazy how so many people had a pretty sorry 2008 and cant wait for 2009. So let me say in my usually dramatic fashion that 2008 was the all-time worst! With such dissonance and disarray its ironic that 2008 carries so much weight and importance. I'm seeing that the universe has a way of balancing itself out. With that being the case 2009 is going to be the greatest of all time...

Department of Transportation

I wont be taking driving for granted for a while. This past weekend i found out that my license is suspended, and has been so for the last 6 months. Apparently i'm an irresponsible dude. Last february i http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifwent to NC to visit my family for a weekend and to get away from my roommate who was bothering me. On the way back i got pulled over for going 5 MPH over the speed limit. (as i mentioned in a post in February) In the midst of traveling and training and working and having too much fun i forgot all about this stinkin ticket. As it turns out, that was a costly mistake. I'm sure sometime in the last few months i thought about paying it but it just wasn't a high priority for me. Not such a good idea either. When you don't pay tickets, they don't just go away like i originally thought. So now instead of a $125 ticket, i have a $251 citation. I think they taxed that extra dollar at the end to mess with me. But thats not really the problem, the issue is i have to either mail the check to the court and they'll get back to me whenever they feel like it, and THEN i can get my license reinstated. or i have to drive to a place called mecklenburg North Carolina and pay it in person. I may not be driving until thanksgiving if this is the case. Moral of the story: pay your tickets, especially when out of state.
