Catch That Monkey

Hey everyone ... yeas i know everyone has been buggin me bout updating well here ya go haha This is gonna be like my first post in the whole year... sorry i have been neglecting my blog... been an extremly lazy Monkey... well anyways im bloggin now.

Been listening to The Beatles Like loads which is the explanation for the Title ..... anyways these guys are freaking geniuses, beautiful lyrics and addictive melodies and just pure awesomeness .

In other news, What have i been up to in these past few months? Well for starters i haven't started my Music Course at ICOM yet and as many of you know... im only starting next year its a real long story why but if u wanna noe u can me ask me no problem.... but dont be so quick to say im shaking legs at home (although i am shaking my legs now while typing haha) so if im not shaking legs then what am i doing? Well i have been taking private music lessons on guitar, drums and music theory... my guitar teacher is stuffs me with butt loads of Jazz and Blues stuff haha... and my drums is definitely getting way way better than before when i thought i could play drums.

My days have become quite routine... Mondays are Guitar and theory classes.. Tuesdays are Drums then like Wednesday's Friday's and My Weekends are in church and the time in between spending my time recording... and playing around with recording stuff and gear and getting my HW done from my teachers .... as you probably can see i have become a total Music recording Junkie.... its all i think about.. i see recording gear and i melt haha ...but i cant complain life's been not hectic and im much free er and i can learn things at my own pace ( Not much pressure).

O Yea I joined a band also haha ... would be giggin around too .... my next Performance at the Laundry at the Curve which im pretty stoked about ... I know this is a long one i have today but... its a pretty fair update/ summary on wats being going with me for the past few month's.. look forward to posting more stuff up in the blog too.. i promise haha.. Bye

Its finally here.After waiting quite a while for this it finally came. Probably most of you already knew that i recently bought a guitar and I really have to thank God for this blessing.
Well the story was that i actually had been eying on a new guitar as some of you may have seen my previous one.. i was really considering buying a Fender Stratocaster (for all who may not know only the Guitar Geeks its okay) but after one night talking to Kevin he got me thinking, why buy something Mass produced with the same money i can use to buy something Handmade and Custom where quality is Assured and really worth the money.Kevin had one of the guitars made by this Luthier
( instrument maker) and his guitar was amazing, high quality woods and workmanship for such a great price.So after thinking went on with the idea.
So here it is..

Here are some of the Pro Shots before sending the guitar over






Its really worth the buy...

-3A Flamed Maple top
(for those wondering the top of the guitar is really wood grains not just painted on)
-Curly Ash Body
-Ebony Fretboard
-Abalone Fretboard Inlays(those round markers on the neck)
-Custom Handmade Pickups

The story on how i got it was interesting.Well i had been waiting a week for the guitar to arrive after it was done and since Kevins took only 12 hours to deliver i kind of got Scared.Waited on Monday... Tuesday..Wed.. And so on and

I did not want to kacau Kevin about it so i didnt really asked but i had a feeling something was up.So at cell last Friday Kev told me that he was worried that my guitar might be lost in Transit.. felt kind of down but i didnt really let it get to me... after kind of complaining and worrying about it not coming to my Sis and Sarah they just said It will be fine and Sisterly Stuffs... then when i got home my mom was like John go take a shower was weird cause my mom never like pressure me to take showers... so i went up to my room and to my Shock it was right there lying on my bed... reallllly have to give props to them for punking me ...good. But i finally got it so God Bless.Bye

Just wanted to share this with you guys its actually in youtube but i don't noe how to link it to the blog.. made some mistakes but it was not meant for the youtube or anything more for self assessment kind off stuff .Hope u enjoy it

Wow haven't posted in a while, well its was a busy week (last week) so didn't really blogged.Today was a pretty good day. My business test marks ,did pretty okay (thank God i studied) if not i think i would not have done well at all. As always Break is always productive:today had the inspiration to buy Milo Ice and throw in biscuits and eat it like cereal, at first Iva,Yish,Will and Loo ,were pretty weirded out but Kenny accepting as he is was more than eager to try my creation,and soon ppl were accepting to enjoy my creation. Sorry dont have a picture but theres tomorrow to try it so its okay will get one then.


took this at The Library near the Coms

Not really much happened for the past week or days.Yesterday at church was as usual always funn,had a guest speaker...PS Mike Constantine awesome name,cool guy, his sermon was awesome and at one point he said this like" An Island In Thailand" as he was speaking and some ppl giggled, so he just burst into a random song on an island in Thailand (hawaian stlye)totally from the top of his head was freaking hilarious,the whole church burst out laughing too(what a joker),he also sang some songs in Nigerian to also welcome some new Nigerian members in our church,was an interesting Sunday, uber cool guy,have to thank him though,he helped council my parents during some rocky times in their marriage be 4 i was born ,so i guess if he dint help my parents patch thing up who knows,would the Stern be here??

Anyways now just pretty excited for this Saturday(charity fiesta at Skool) which is like quite a big event last time we had it was when i was form 1,my band( Sound Around The Corner) would be performing, it might be our biggest performance so far but its yet to come..so well see but for those non SRIKLlians ,u guys and grils shuld drop by too its for a good cause anyways so its pretty worth spending the afternoon, its an open event anyway. Aside from this i did have an interestingly delightfully,enjoyable dinner tonight take a look...



OO wats in it i wonder??





Its actually cheese rice with like fried fish, looked good ,tasted good it must be good.

Peace ppl
