Better

I just received the new Guns N' Roses cd Chinese Democracy today in the mail. Very surprising, considering the album is coming out on Sunday. I guess pre-ordering an exclusive from Best Buy = early delivery. In any case, I'm VERY excited about this album. It was definitely worth the wait of years on my part but I'm sure others waited a whole lot longer. The production for this album began in 1993, so it's been 15 years in the making. Each of the 14 tracks are quite memorable and I'm just VERY HAPPY to hear those lovely lovely vocals of W. Axl Rose because it's been way too long. He still ranks number one on my short list of the greatest frontmen in rock and roll. Nobody can beat his theatrics, attitude and vocal ability (yes not even Ozzy...). I won't go off writing an entire review on this album but it sure is something to check out if you're a fan of hard rock. Warning: it is nothing like the old GN'R but that's ok! Change is good and sometimes needed. In this case, Velvet Revolver sounds awesome and so does GN'R 2.0.

So today I basically went to classes and spent a few hours with Caroline. Obviously, we've got much more time to spend with each other but she had to leave for Harrisonburg to see her sister's play. I can't wait until things calm down between us so we can sit back and relax. Unfortunately she IS leaving back home for winter break but I'm still coming to visit her for a while in January! I hope she comes down to visit Fairfax for a little bit of time during the break as well. In any case, we need to spend the most time we can before we separate for break. Good thing we've got each others' schedule! Basically, I need to make some time and my computer is capable (finally) to run Google Desktop. I saw on Caroline's computer that it came with her Vista. No fair, but XP is still better than Vista! Alright, I'm going to go enjoy the album some more, watch some wrestling and continue writing my songs. Later!
