If you’re going to cullinary arts school and you’re on myspace don’t think I’m flippin’ out just because you’re hot, …if you are hot that is. Anyways..

I just have begun to enjoy the pleasures of cooking. I’ve always considered myself to be able to pick up on home-ec type stuff quickly if I put my mind to it. I just never did much until now. Since I moved back here to the coast (Seattle area), I’ve tried to apply myself a bit more because I know two things: 1) I am going to need to save my money right now so eating out all the time doesn’t quite fit the bill. 2) I want to be able to cook when I get a wife and am married.

I think I’m making a whole new style here, but people will let me know right?

I wanted to give a try at hip hop. I didn’t want to just make normal hip-hop though. I am so into techno stuff that I thought I’d try making it sort of technoish. This is what I came up with on the first try. I call the style “J Tech-Hop” because I thought adding a J on there (for my first name of course) would possibly add a little flavor to the name of the style, plus hopefully make it seem a little bit more trendier which might make the style catch on …who knows? I could just call it Tech-Hop, but that sounds really generic. Other people can make that…I have my own savor see. Savor this:

My favorite parts of this song are the bassline, and the “Three!!! - Four!! - Five!”, and the rhythmic twisted up vocal noises in different parts. I wish I did more of this sort of thing in the song. Its done now though…perhaps later I’ll revisit it, but that usually never happens with me. Although, I think I’m turning over many new leaves.

Okay, I tinker around with some art stuff on the PC every once in a while.. I saw this goomba pic up on the Nintendo DS New Super Mario Bros gallery on gamespot.com and I got inspired and made this really fast. I make some cooler stuff too, which I’ll start posting up on here. In fact I’ll probably make a special art page on here.

I’ve just made a new song out of divine inspiration. This track was really fun to work on. Its been tough for me making songs before, because they weren’t fun when I worked on them as much as I’d like them to be. I would commonly struggle looking for the right melodies or riffs or rhythms. What would fit anyway? Then there’s the technical aspects of creating a recording or whatever. This time it was EASY!
