CURBLOGZ

really guys im thankful that i’m born in this computer operated world. Im thankful enough for the internet for allowing me to discover new music radio wouldn’t play( cause all radio play are crap).

But with all these free legal download sites which believe it or not are supported by the artists and sometimes even the label(eg Robbie seay Band’s new CD Give Yourself Away is being given freely to the public via relevantmagazine.com until its official release date on aug.29 and this is been approved by the band and EMI ).

and of course freak as i am,i downloaded it…

but then i remembered my other favorite band King Wilkie so  i visited their site and found out they had change direction from being traditional bluegrass to newgrass with a Neil Young/Nickel Creek influence and no longer Bill Monroe…

their new cd is available for streaming so long before i finished listening to my newly downloaded Robbie Seay Band, i shifted from rock to newgrass… and then in the middle of it all i remembered music.aol.com so i went there and oh!, Over The Rhine’s new CD "The Trumpet Child" is now available for streaming. and so without finishing the new King Wilkie i then closed their site and press Over The Rhine play…

And of all those albums i’ve been listening, this one i actually finished!!!

But in the end i feel exhausted. True enough i learned and heard those new music within an hour or two but i missed something very important.

And that is the feeling of "feeling the experience of feeling the music".:-). Something that’s lost 90% nowadays.

We are being pressured with "new gud music" every minute that we forgot the experience of listening and being lost to the intricate melodies of jazz or the simple yet progressive mandolin sound of bluegrass or the wailing guitar of rock or the lonesome voice longing to be heard of singer/sopngwriters.

I miss those days when i was a young boy when  all i listened to was my mom’s record collection all month long until my mama would buy me a cassette tape of my choosing(I WAS BORN A ROCKER !!!) and listened to it all month long to the point of memorizing the entire album. yes,when i was a kid i did memorize almost all Elvis songs and Bon Jovi and i can recite all the lyrics of Metallica’s Black Album. But that was back then. I can still recite it though only if a Cd is playing. Kinda, well i forgot what type of memorization is that….\

But then again i don’t blame technology i nthe end. I blame only me for not choosing to slow down and absorb a certain album.

the internet gives us a new horizon in music,but it also give as a new challenge… a challenge to control our greed and stick to ond album at a time…

gud night junkies…

having so much fun last acquintance party though my 600 pesos is kinda wasted. hell, i dunno where it goes but im not satisfied with the food.

and i did storm the stage also with a stupid karaoke version of michael buble’s sway…man, i hare karaoke but last night was so fun that i fool and joke around the stage. Tj(our president) did told me that it was a contest but i know that contest is for boring  people who wanna be mariah or josh groban for that matter…

so instead of singing it seriously crooning the way Buble did,why fool around with it? Besides, i have no idea half of the lyrics..so i did fool around slurring half the lyrics and moving like a drunk Kenny Chesney…

…and guess what? i won!

yes i won a monkey trophy hehehe…

guess some people are still stupid enough to differentiate between a joke and being serious…but honestly folks, it was fun making people laugh onstage…

but then again some people will never get it….

so i realized i will not only do singer/songwriter stuff only but also karaoke fun stuf hahahahah

bravo!!!!!

kinda found out that some people in the nursing satation are lazy..

yesterday i received a request for routine culture and AFB of a certain patient.Of course there are two request form. One for culture and one for AFB.

THen i looked at the request form(smear) to see if there are still other procedures to be done. There ain’t.They only encirlce AFB and so we only did AFB and culture.

Now we at the lab have gone crazy looking for THE PATIENT’S Gram Stain slide because a certain doctor wants his result badly…and we couldnt find it…

Then i remember there is no request for gram stain..i looked over it several times yesterday,the request form where u supposed to encirle all procedures that requires smearing(gram’s included)

Then the medtech checked the other request form(the one where routine culture and sensibility should be) and there she found it neatly written very TINY at the buttom under the "other request" (or somethiung like it) box!!!

What on earth is that???

Don’t they know that we are flooded with millions of specimens everyday? They should have to do their part also even if just by putting the right request in the right form so that it won’t srew in the end…..
