Ever heard of Twitter??? Well I have one. Well most of ya'll know that I have a Boss ME-50, which is a guitar pedal. About 2 weeks ago I saw that they came out with a new pedal from Boss called the ME-70. I was sort of bummed since I had just gotten a pedal a few months ago, and then they came out with a new one. But when I got my twitter last year I saw that there was this guy on twitter and he was the CMO/EVP of all Guitar Centers. So I was like " Well maybe if I message this guy he could help me??". So I message him and asked him " I was wondering what the return policy was. I got a boss ME-50 after Christmas, and now I want to return it and get the ME-70." Then the next day he asked me to give him my e-mail. I was really surprised. So I sent him my email. Then this guy Jeremy sent me an email. He is a super nice guy. He emailed me and told me he would help me out regardless of the return policy. I was so happy. Then he called me that night and told me that the manager of Guitar Center in South Carolina would be calling me!!! So the next day they called me!! He told me to head up there, and I would be able to return it!!! So my Dad and I went up there and got the pedal!! Everybody was surprised that a 13 year old kid got in touch with the CMO/EVP of Guitar Center!! It was really cool!! The pedal is the coolest thing ever. It has a loop station and loads of effects. Well that is about it. By the way Guitar Center has the best costumer service. They really went above and beyond what I expected. Hear is a pic of what the pedal looks like.

Pain pain go away

Friday I got my wisdom teeth taken out. Why? Because they were blocking somthing, or at least that is what they told me. About a year ago I had 2 teeth pulled, but I was not sedated. I don't know which teeth they pulled, but see the pic above. For my wisdom teeth they sedated me. It was really weird. I had never been sedated and felt weird. Almost the whole day my mouth was numb and I could not fell a thing. It was freaky. I had a milkshake, but I could not taste it. So my mouth has been really sore. It is swollen, but my parents got me the Patriot and an iTunes card so that cheered me up!! I am just ready for my mouth to feel normal. I can't wait to eat solid food!!!

Pork & Beans

So I made another guitar cover....... Pork & Beans by  Weezer!!! Weezer is one of my favorite bands!! They have really fun lyrics and catchy beats.  This was actual one of the first songs I learned. It is really easy. Anybody could play it. I just haven't put a video up in a while so I thought I would just do an easy song. I know it is not perfect, but I hope you enjoy!!! Here it is. 

Face Down by RJA

The other day I did another guitar cover. It was Face Down by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, which was the band I saw live!!! They are pretty epic!!! I got their new CD, but this song is from their old CD. Their new CD is pretty cool. I got it off of iTunes, and it was like 8 dollars, and it came with a music video. So here is my guitar cover of Face Down. I messed up a few times but I had fun making it. ENJOY

Taken

Saturday, after Fuel, Josh, David, and I went to go see Taken!!! I really wanted to go see it, but I was a little worried about it. But it was AWESOME!!! Best movie I have seen this year, but that  is not saying much since a few of the movies I have seen were Craplight I mean Twilight and Unborn. The movie had great action scenes. In the end of the movie he walk into a room and his daughter is being held up by a knife and instead of dropping his gun slowly he shoots the bad guy straight in the head, gets his daughter and leaves!!! It was pretty epic. I would buy this movie. I would also give it a 8.5/10.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Last night my Dad and I went to go see The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus at the Music Farm!!!! It was soooo cool!!!!!!! The concert started at 7:30. I did not know I was going until 6:40!!! I was surprised!!! There were 2 opening bands... first was The Becoming. I did not like them that much. They were a 'want to be" metal band. I mean they all matched and the lead singer took his shirt off to be all cool, which was stupid. Their guitarist was bad. All he did was power chords with alot of distortion. The next band... Tickle Me Pink (very gay name). The very first song I thought I had heard before, but after that they kept cursing. Their guitarist was better than The Becoming, but still not that good. The songs were not that good. I did not like them. For those 2 bands we were on the floor. After Tickle Me Pink there was about a 30 minute wait until The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. My Dad and I move up to this balcony thing which was higher up and right next to the stage. I could see sooooo much better. When The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus came up it was epic!!! They rocked the house!!!! Near the end of the concert the guitarist stage dove!!!! It was so cool!!! I had a great time hanging out with my Dad!!! Here are a few pics from the concert. BTW I did not take these pics. ENJOY
