Ah, Monday. It was hard to get out of bed this morning, it was so comfortable and warm! I really didn't want to go back to work, i was not as productive in my cleaning tasks as I had hoped, and it was cold out.
But, I had a pretty good weekend! Saturday was the best day by far, it was full of stuff I like doing (except riding the bus) and I was thankful for such a fun and relaxing two days off. How was yours?
I had belly dance class on Saturday, not really first thing (it's at 1:30pm) but slept late and wandered over on the bus. It was the first time I really "got" the across the floor combo she gave, because for the first time she counted it...correctly!
I am a bit biased, my father was a musician, my man is a musician, I have danced for 9 years now, and have taken music classes....So I get a little insulted when someone that hasn't always been in time (musically that is, not like, she lives in a different time period...or maybe she does, I don't know) tells me how to count music. She was upset that we hadn't already started doing it. I didn't because everyone teaches a class differently, and she had never counted before...I thought it was maybe her thing, since she never gives any kind of example anyway. So I am grateful that I went, it made me feel better, and grateful that I got the combinations but I still don't really like this teacher and probably won't take her class again.
Then I took a bus out to Burbank and drove down to Anaheim to see Buckethead! Whoo Hoo!
Highlight of my whole weekend.
Buckethead is one of the most amazing guitar players of our time, and well worth the money to but tickets. Which we did long before my pay cut so it was a nice break from the heavy, worry we have been carrying around for a few days. It was one of the most packed shows I have ever been to, and House of Blues Anaheim is a good sized place. That 1 Guy opened, and if you have never heard of him you have to, have to, HAVE TO listen to his stuff. It will blow your fucking pants off. And he was so funny! I just decided to post video from the show that night. Down at the bottom of this post. It's not my video and the quality isn't the best, but you gotta love the Internet. You can see what I saw! Because someone had a camera and posted it on you-tube! Yey! Wow, and I thought I belonged to another era. Right.
Anyways..I love music! I love to go out dancing to good, funky, music. With a solid beat that thumps down into you so far you feel it in your groin. One of life's blissful pleasures.
I also have to point out the incredible fact that when Mr. Buckethead holds the guitar away from his body, he is STILL PLAYING. With his left hand on the frets, he thumps out the song. It blows me away!
I couldn't find any video of That 1 Guy from that night, but this video gets the point across perfectly.
What kind of music makes you happy? What made your weekend great?
