The other day, when I was walking back home from work, I heard the sound of a distant guitar. An amateurish guitar. The guy (or girl) was trying to play...
...guess what...
yeah, it was Smoke On The Water... you guessed it right.
I was wondering about whether the owner of the guitar liked rock or they played that song because they just had to. I think that if someone has a guitar, and they try to learn to play, they are bound to try playing this song.
Is it the best song ever? I doubt that. It's just a catchy classic.
Is it THAT simple? No, if you judge by the way those amateurs' guitars sound like .. :P
I like this song, I was raised in a way that I appreciate rock and hard rock (and its' by-products etc etc), but...
damn..
Smoke On The Water, I hate you as much as I like you.. Couldn't you be less awesome or less easy? It's like hearing a violin playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" (all Greeks now will recognize an old tv ad). Those songs for training.. I get it... But wtf..
Why Smoke On The Water and not, let's say, Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun?
It's pretty easy, dan dan daaan dan-dan..SEE?! Now you play it! ..GOOD!
Sometimes it feels like a song that was raped and murdered and then raped again by too many bad covers. And that's a generic out-of-the-blue rant, but I just felt like saying it.
Please good people of the world, aspiring guitarists, flutists and so on.. stop fist-fucking Smoke On The Water. It's a decent song and I used to like it a lot.

The always necessary post of introducing/establishing my quirks
I'm watching my cat, Kiriko, stretching on my bed. I'm sitting on my leather chair, wrapped in a fleece blanket, sipping tea and reading the news on my pc, while listening to music, while uploading photos on Flickr, while watching One Piece, while twisting my toes, while contemplating on things I gotta do and when to do them.
While observing this:
So please, someone, give me a job which I can do from home that has the minimum amount of needed direct communication as possible and I promise I'm going to make you proud of my work:P Deal? :D
PS. Dark overlord would be nice, too. I can't say I really like the sun, so something underground and shady is really ok :P
PPS. At least I'm happy I'm making some progress in something I'm making at the mo'.
While observing this:
which makes me pretty unwilling to go to work, because I'll freeze (while getting there, and while being there).
Don't get me wrong, I like, *like*, LIKE cold, but I prefer dry cold, not rain, not rince-wind, and I utterly HATE HATE HATE humid weather. And that's what we're having for breakfast/brunch/lunch and supper. I also like to not having to *go* to work, but rather work inside, sipping my tea - in which I've sprinkled cayenne pepper - and listening to music. Or watching a film along with a friend or a loved one.
But, I guess, these are breaks we are not given that easily.

I wish I had the necessary funds backing me, then I'd turn into a first grade hikikomori, a recluse, I'd only go out when I really had to (like going to a funeral:P even tho' I can't say I like funerals and that I shouldn't prolly attend them, since I am bipolar and that's not helping:P). Then I'd send a car for my friends to come over (I'd be a visitor-friendly hikikomori:P) and let them stay as much as they wanted. Thus, never having to face and communicate with another stupid customer(see Note below) or person that *I* would not want to. And not having to stand buses ( I can't stand buses). And during the night, I'd work and think about sad stuff and feel blue, which I can assure you I'm pretty good at and doing it for quite some time now :P

(Note: YEAH, most people outside are stupid and I cannot stand talking to them and explaining every single stupid thing they ask me. Especially because some things are obvious and because the act of asking questions to people means that you have the quota of gray matter needed for understanding the answer they give you!!! So, when I'm nice and helpful. I'm not nice and helpful, I'm just PRETENDING to be nice and helpful, you silly sods. I am *really* nice to people I choose to, not to whomever my second job chooses). And, yeah, I'm an asshole, I know, but I least I don't have the problem admitting it and explaining the reason :P )
Switching from BraveJournal
So, BraveJournal served me fine during these years, I have lots of memories (both good and bad) that will remain online with that blog...
But, in the name of convenience and due to laziness (BraveJournal can be a royal pain) I thought I'd evolve into the more user-friendly Blogspot.
Farewell old "Journal Of A Wandering Mind", hello new "The Sleep Deprived 21th Century Psycho [ver 2.0F]"
(Alas, I cannot import my old blog here... So I guess it's a fresh start with a blank slate..)
