  Rank 24 is beat

  I gotta get off this rank fast, so I'll write a blog entry:

  Tell me why you lied
  And what it is you do to keep your eyes all shiny

  Colin Meloy has one of the most unique voices in the entire world, I wish I was more like him!  This weekend was amazing.  I went to a concert to see one of my favorite bands in the world, The Decemberists.  It all started about 3 o'clock on Saturday with a trip to Matty C's house.  Everyone was there, including Neil and his friend from school.  We sang songs and played guitars for about 2 hours (mostly Decemberists songs) and then around 5:30 we headed for Messiah College.

  You should know that getting to Messiah takes about three turns, if that.  Anyway, we got lost.  We got so lost we were asking drunk bikers on the side of a backroad.  Then we got lost (cause they didn't have a clue where they were either) and we stopped and asked some other random guy.  He lead us in the right direction and then we realized how stupid we were.  Well we got to Messiah and waited a little for the show to begin.  We got a pretty good spot on the floor about 20 feet from the stage.

  The opening band was ok, but I couldn't wait for the Decemberists.  The wait was fully worth it.  They played a really amazing set but the best part was after the show.  We staked out their tour busses and got the meet all the members of the band!  I got pictures with Colin Meloy and John Moen, their drummer.  I also got all of their autographs.  The coolest part was that there were only about 20 people waiting for them and when they came out they all talked to us for about 15-20 minutes.  It was amazing.  So that was fun, then I played drums in church, and, after getting 3 hours of sleep, I played pretty poorly.

  The Established is doing well with a few new sounds, practicing in Jake's basments, and jamming with matt.  ALL SHINY!

  Razer Tarantula

  I got a new keyboard and I'm trying to get used to all it's new awesomeness.  By the title of the blog you can tell that I got Razer's new gaming keyboard, the tarantula.  I bought it was a bunch on money I had left over from Christmas and I  have to say it's pretty sweet.  But it's also surprising me how much work it's going to take to get used to it.  The keyboard is "hyper-responsive" which basically means all the keys are super sensitive.  When I typed in Google for the first time it came out goooogle.com.  I wasn't expecting the keys to work that well.  It also takes a little less pressure to press the keys, so I'm finding that a little difficult when using shift or ctrl or tab.  Like yesterday in CSS I was walking but I started running randomly.  I had no idea why because I thought I was still pressing down the key. . .I wasn't.  In a critical situation that would have cost me but luckily there were no enemies in lower A of Contra yesterday at that time.  As I type this I'm getting more used to using the keyboard, I'm sure it'll be fine in a week or so.  Hopefully it only positively affects my game, not the other way around.  Oh there is one really annoying new thing the keyboard is doing.  I guess my desk isn't straight or something, because the keyboard is sorta moving around....lame.  It's not the bottom on the keyboard's fault, it's the desk.  The place where you rest your palms on the board is also a little big for my taste, but that's only compared to my other board.  Like I said, we'll see how every thing turns out.
