Works in Progress

As you can see, the Karblog is finally making some much needed changes on the design front. Sure, this is pretty much just the generic template that you can pick when you don't pay money to fully customize, but if you're like me, and you know just enough HTML to make a simple webpage, things like this are very much welcome. Not sure if I'll do much tweaking to the design outside of changing colors whenever I change banners, which may not happen for a little while, since I like the banner that I've got. Fun program, Photoshop is, ya? Yeah.

I've got a couple of things on the go. Finally mustered up the courage to put my music on the net for people to critique. So far I've gotten pretty positive reviews, which rocks. I don't know if it's just me, but posting the songs up on myspace was kind of a nerve wracking thing for me. People that I know have sent me messages saying things like they didn't really believe that I could write songs like that are both kind of cool, but at the same time, it kind of worries me. Why don't people think that I can write songs? Is it because I have an off the wall kind of demeanor? Is it my lack of seriousness at times that makes everyone I know think that I can't sit down and write something serious and meaningful? Well, I don't know if it's very meaningful, but you know what I mean. What the hell? Maybe I'm just making a big deal out of it... Maybe I should be looking at it from the "glass half full" point of view. I mean, I like to prove people wrong. I like to show folks that there's more than just the loveable retard that is Karl. Thinking about it that way makes me feel better. Right on, eh?

If anyone says that blogging isn't theraputic, they should be punched in the stomach. And Matt just totally walked up and busted out a Power Rangers pose for absolutely no reason. Now HE is a nut. haha!

Yeah, I'll update more as things that are update worthy pop up! Oh, and if I didn't add you to my myspace dealio, go to my page, and add me.

Until next time!

Music on Myspace

So I decided to create one of those myspace music pages to put my tunes on. Check it out Here

If you downloaded the song that I posted on the blog a while back, that one is on there, plus another.

I've got three more songs that just need a bit of arranging, then they'll be put up there. So yeah, go give them a listen if ya feel like it.

Why is there never anything to do on Saturday nights anymore?

What is up with that?


There's never anything good to do on Saturday nights these days... Long gone are the days of getting hammered and piling into James's car for an evening of drunken mayhem. Now they're replaced with sitting in my room, watching television, or sitting down and playing a few matches with Arsenal on FIFA 2004. (Yes, I'm aware that it's 2006, but let's face it, I'm poor, and can't afford to buy the latest one.) Is this what life is going to be like for me from now on? Confined to my room on what's supposed to be the night I'm supposed to leave it in exchange for an evening of fun? I keep thinking that maybe I should be trying to initiate some kind of mischief. But then I think, I'm 23 years old, and slowly but surely getting fat. I don't exactly have the stamina to run away from the cops anymore if someone were to not appreciate what I'm trying to do. Well, then again, this is the United States of America I'm living in, so I'll more than likey just be fucking shot at by some retarded redneck who thinks that it's his right to carry an M16 in his house because the people who wrote the Decloration Of Independance owned muskets and thought that it might not be a bad idea to have them around in case of a bear attack or something like that.

Jerkoffs...


But anyway, maybe it's because I don't know the right people? Someone has to be having fun on Saturday nights, why can't I meet them and partake in the good times? Oh yeah, I'm stuck in my room... duh... But I wouldn't know the first place to look for it. I'm not sure if there are clubs in Wilson... Not that I'd go, because I hate those kinds of places. But there has to be some place like that where people are hanging out, and having fun doing something other than shaking their asses and whatever it is they do in clubs. (Yeah, my knowledge of those places comes from rap videos, so who knows what they're REALLY like.) The people I do know aren't much into having the odd beer, playing some music, and then driving around looking for an adventure. I long for the good ol' days.

Maybe it's just a product of our environment? Wilson isn't exactly known for it's fun-ness. One time I got a phone call, and the guy who called asked if I wanted to go to a fire. To which I replied, "What the hell do I want to go to a fire for?" See, that's the type of crap that happens here. It could have been fun, but how much fun can a fire be after you've successfully burned EIGHT tires in one bonfire at the same time? Exactly. Not quite as fun.

Maybe that's my problem... Maybe I've done too much, and that everything that's suggested to do, I've done to the extreme and it just bores the hell out of me? Maybe not, maybe so. All I know, is that I'm seriously thinking about watching my MR. NANNY DVD. Yup, I own it. Hulk Hogan and Sherman Helmsley make comedy gold!
