Pod to PC

For those who are looking for a free ipod utility, go to http://www.podtopc.com/. Quite a useful piece of software and it's free!

"Pod to PC is freeware that lets you transfer music, videos and
playlists from an iPod or iPhone back to your computer and into iTunes."

Blind.

Blind. That's what America's eye for talent is. Americans are blind. Kris' last performance was mediocre. Light years away from Adam's. Adam's was pure artistry. Tweeners' parents are gonna pay a lot of phone and text bills today. Haha. I'm never gonna watch American Idol again.

All About Adam

My wife has a crush on Adam Lambert. She listens to his over-the-top song renditions on the iPod. She surfs the internet for the latest buzz about him. We watched the American Idol Marathon Weekend because of Adam. Haha. Nothing to get jealous about. Really.

I never liked watching American Idol. Until season 8 came along. Almost all of the contestants had a quirk, talent, uniqueness, flair, and style that made the show interesting. I like Gokey, Matt, and of course Adam. His style is unique. He feels a bit out-of-place in the show but he shatters the boundaries and breaks conventions. He should have joined Rockstar Supernova. One time he's crooning, the next time he's screaming like a banshee. And i like it. He reminds me of Sebastian Bach of Skid Row and Matt Bellamy of Muse. He reeks of old-school rock and metal tendencies. He truly is an artist. I have a feeling he won't win but he will be famous and he will be able to do whatever he wants. Rock on Adam! I don't care what the forums and blogs on the net says. We'll be rooting for you all the way! Especially my wife. But the thing that really keeps me glued to the television set is Simon Cowell. Politically correct, sarcastic, brutally honest, his comments are always entertaining. Sometimes he just blabbers his mouth to irk the audience. And i like it. I find him funny. Well it will be the finale next week. I'm hoping Adam will win but if Kris wins then that would be a very big disappointment. Not quite the singer but i think he will be making waves as a singer-songwriter-musician type. But still I'm rooting for Adam.

Well that's it. I'm going to listen to the Beatles now. Haha.

Old School

As you all may know i have been teaching Music in the classroom for awhile now. It has been a love-and-hate profession for me. Love because i love sharing music with everyone and hate because i have been teaching Music in the wrong school, a school where music anti-co-exists, a school where my advanced and progressive way of teaching felt like alien gibberish to many. I passed my letter of resignation three months ago. I will continue to teach private music lessons but my classroom-teaching career was over.
Or so i thought...Today i visited my old school(high school memories aplenty) and they hired me. I was happy. This was going to be a different environment for me. A BETTER environment mind you. This school was where i had so much fun during my rebellious age. My wife also studied in this school(though I am six years her senior) but i never got to see her wearing the goldilocks uniform because I was already studying music in college when she graced the halls of the school. I actually taught there for a while when the music teacher took her maternal leave and I so enjoyed my time there. The students were brilliant and i was on fire every minute i taught in those halls. My style is much more fitting there so I really am going to have a blast teaching music this coming school year.

Windows 7

I downloaded a legit copy of Windows 7 RC! It may be RC but it's not buggy and it's faster than Vista. I'm enjoying the revamped interface and the new features. No woes so far. I'll keep y'all posted.

At Last!

Can't hardly wait. Actually it was hard and it was quite a wait. It was raining cats and dogs and the flight was "delayed". More than delayed. They arrived safe and sound. Phew! It was scary. Like it was Doomsday or something. my wife and baby's first plane trip was a  disaster...more like there was a natural disaster! Haha. It really rained hard. Such timing.

But they're here and that's what matters ; )
