Earthquake in Morocco...

Today there was an earthquake in Northern Morocco. According to CNN there were at least 564 dead as of Tuesday Morning. My family is ok I assume, they live a few hundred miles south of the epicenter. The quake occured at about 2:28 a.m. with a magnitude of 6.5. The people who died were peasants living mud huts in rural villages near the city of Al-Houceima.

Life is strange. I wonder why I have been spared the many tragedies that occur daily. It only reaffirms my desire to live my life to the fullest.

This Blog is Good to go...

I finally have this blog looking somewhat decent and with comment abilities too. Obviously I'm a newbie. Anyway, David Martinez said my first entry was boring. Now, YOU can tell me how boring it is, just click on the "Comment" button... Henceforth, I will try to keep my posts interesting or not post at all. Some possible future topics are: Illegal Immigrants, Favorite Trance DJ's, Casablanca, Moroccan Fossils, Valentines, Theological impressions, Dating, Keith Green, Favorite Fruits, How to make the best tasting tacos and guacamole.

Making Music with Reason 2.5 Demo

I just got home from work. I made a song on my computer with Reason 2.5 (the 20 minute Demo version). It's a musically limited song, just a cool and heavy house/break beat with a repetetive acidic bass line in C minor. I like it. It sounds tight. The 2 bar loop still plays in the background, and it will continue to play until I press the (Quit) button reminding me that I could only play for 20 minutes. Nobody will have ever heard my song. (Unless Esteban gets home soon).

At least I got to practice my guitar and play along to the infectious beat. Eventually, I'll buy the software. Maybe when 3.0 comes out. I sense that now is not the time. I need to save my money, prioritize, whatever.

This is my first web-log ever. The concept is still pretty amazing to me. Somewhat mysterious... yet exciting.
