I've gotten fat again.

When I got back to LSU last summer, I was lean and awesome. I've slacked off, and after an awesome Xmas break full of Reese's, I'm fat again. I need to lose weight. I woke up at 6 this morning. I was planning to go to the gym, but then I realized I didn't have any earbuds for my iPod. I practiced guitar instead.

I need music to keep me running. I need music to make me forget I'm running, because if I realize I'm running, I'll stop running because I hate running.

I got a Gibson SG standard, and it is really really really really really really awesome. It's a piece of work. I really think it's one of those perfect marriages of dude and guitar. It looks good, it feels good and it sounds good. Awesome!

My music has become less lyric-based. I've never been comfortable as a lyric writer, so after I write lyrics, I scratch out all the verses I don't like and just leave it at that.

"I'm gonna do something I've always wanted to do
I'm gonna do something awesome today"

simple and stupid.
