Today is going to be a day of relaxation, just enjoying the fact that i am back home. Tommorow, Eric and I are getting together to work on some musical ideas, so I'm looking forward to that very much.

My guitar playing has come a long way in the last month or so, and so I'm really happy about that. It's so much fun to play, especially right now.

Whats new in the wonderful world today? Let's find out, shall we?

BBC--South Africa says it will be introducing anti-retroviral drugs to treat people who are HIV positive.

It's about time!

BBC--Christoph Harnisch, a senior delegate for Africa at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), told journalists that "the local population, the Liberians, have been neglected to a point rarely seen even in Africa". Nigerian soldiers entering the country's capital Monrovia for their first patrols on Thursday received a rapturous welcome from an exhausted, hungry population.

I can't believe this. Liberia is in WAY worse shape than Iraq was, so why didn't the US "liberate" the people of Liberia? Hmm...I wonder why. *rolls eyes*

"President Bush is on his 35 day vacation. The other day, he was fishing. He didn't catch any fish, however, he believes they are there and that his intelligence is accurate."

Haha! That was from David Letterman. What a funny guy.

Anyway, thats enough for now. Here's the Maura pic of the day:



Lovely indeed.

Cheers.

Maybe I should go out tonight, but I really don't feel like it. I haven't been home in so long, I think I'll just hang around and play my guitar. I'm trying to master "YYZ" by Rush, and I'm almost there. I just have to get the entire solo, then refine the main riff a little bit, and then I've got it. I'm really proud of myself, becuase a while ago I was having so much trouble with that song, but now I'm kicking its ass. I think I'll have it before the end of the summer.

I can't wait to share all my musical, lyrical and conceptual ideas with Eric, and I really want to hear his. Tommorow should be fun.

More later.

Cheers.
