Rockstar (PART 2),,,

This is not in any way related to my last post, this is all about me!

The other day, in my guitar class, not many people had showed up, it was just me, my guitar sir and this other guy i wasn't too familiar with. Sir had casually remarked that my timing was improving. I was ecstasic. (Like Charles Dickens once said "I can live off a good compliment for at least three months"). Then the other guy had to leave.

So there was nobody, just me and sir. I was getting bored. Suddenly i asked sir, "There's nobody around right, can i try my hand at the electric?" (My guitar class is held in his apartment, there are at least 12 guitars lined up,2 electric guitars and a five string bass) he was like "Yeah sure"

I picked up the guitar and he plugged it in to the amplifier. Then i started playing the intro for the starting of "Zombie" By the cranberries that my friend had taught me. An ecstasic feeling took over my fingers and i closed my eyes as i strummed hard. It felt so heavenly. Literally music to my ears.

Then sir took my guitar and was playing some riffs, it felt so amazing to hear them. Then i took the guitar and stood up, (I'd prevously been resting the guitar on my leg as i do my yamaha acoustic) and i felt another power take over me, with the strap over my shoulder, pick in my hand, and the volume knob entirely under my control, i felt euphoric. I was on an all time high as i was playing the Smoke on the water riff (By deep purple). I've only felt this high before when i was immersed in music or cutting myself. Or a combination of both. And like i said, i was euphoric.

Now i'm addicted.... Completely addicted to the electric guitar's touch... like a druggie is to heroin.... now i NEED more.... i need to feel my fingers getting cut under the pressure...i need to feel the guitar crying for mercy under me but still enjoying my touch....

Dad's promised me an electric guitar if i did well in my half yearly, completle with amp, distortion paddle, EVERYTHING.... If i get the first rank.... so i'm going to be like eat,sleep,study, just so that i can get high every single night

PEACE OUT BITZHEZ!!! \m/+

Rockstar.....!!!

Its a very "cliched" term nowadays. You have random country bumpkins on various reality shows stepping up and saying "i wanna be a rockstar" and you have graffiti on various benches in my school saying "Rockstars of KRMM" , i'm like "HELLO PEOPLE DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT ROCK MUSIC IS?"

Just because somebody sings well, just because somebody dresses well, or just because somebody's pretty, it doesnt make her/him a rockstar.
Just like a true sportsman, a true rockstar lies in her/his attitude. You can have a girl who's a total country bumpkin, has no knowledge on english music whatsoever, and thinks that himmesh reshammiya is a brilliant singer (and is constantly humming "mann ka radio"), she can still be a rockstar cause at the end of the day, it narrows down to her attitude. Its how she takes failures in her strides. Its about how she doesn't let things get her down. Its about how she loves and believes in herself no matter what. Its about how she knows shes not keeping up with the latest trends but it still doesn't bother her. Cause she's just happy being herself and rocks out having a good time, doing whatever she loves doing.

On the other hand, you can take this guy who's brilliant at playing the electric guitar, painstakingly keeps up with the latest trends, shamelessly flaunts his Levis socks and red converse sneakers, and considers girls "below" him as he's supposedly a "guitar god". Hello hello, thats not being a rockstar, thats just being a plain prick...!!
