[C] I coulda been a writer
Or a poet I know for sure
I can [G] write all night, into the day
[C] If I wanted to
But now I sit
Just me and a ciggarette
Makin’ love to the night
And I don’t know why
[chorus]
I’d [G] rather be with someone
who [C] makes me feel at peace
who’ll [G] grab me and hold me
And [C] tell me it’s ok
A [G] woman who’ll be there
When [C] I come home too late
And [D] I don’t want to fight
a[G]bout it anymore
I thought I found a friend
Lonely men always do
We search far and wide
Turn our hearts inside out for you
Can’t you see what I’m tryin’ to say
We howl at the moon
But we don’t mean it
We’d rather come home to you (and we do)
I finally got this video to work. It’s an example of how a plant (a tomato in this case) will bend itself toward light in an effort to maximise its photosynthesis. Ok, let’s see if this works:
This was taken with a D300, 1 shot per minute, from about 10AM to 3PM
While I’m at it, I might as well post another song that I made with the orchestra plugin. This one was supposed to have a middle-eastern sound to it, but also have a nice driving drum beat. The actual beat of the drums is pretty close to what I had in mind, but the samples themselves aren’t what I have in my head. One day I’ll get around to making this sound the way I want.
One of the problems is that my PC can’t handle all the plugins at the same time. For some reason, the bass (which is actually a guitar emulator) takes up HUGE amounts of resources. What this boiled down to was that I could never listen to the song in the software, I had to mute some tracks to be able to listen to something, then unmute, render to MP3, and listen to the MP3 to see if the change I made sounded good. Very annoying to say the least!
I never posted this song up here, but I tend to want to listen to it sometimes, so I thought a nice easy way to get to it would be nice (FTP is annoying sometimes). Basically, this is a song I wrote to play with a new orchestra plugin that I bought. I wish I had the time and the skill to do some longer / better stuff, but I still like this:
Clinton
Admits that she ‘Misspoke’ about her trip to Bosnia. Either you intentionally embellished (lied?) about the trip, you forgot what happened, or you believe something happened and it didn’t. In any of those cases it’s not something I would expect in my future President.
On my truck, a 2001 Ranger, I first have to remove a little plastic plate that is above the headlight. It comes off after removing three small bolts on top. Remove that plastic and you’ll find two metal tabs behind the headlight housing (the glass part). If you pull up on those they will release the housing, and after a little bit of wiggling you’ll be able to get the housing out, and get at the rear of the housing is where you’ll find the retaining ring that holds the bulb in.
Unscrew the retaining ring (I think it only needs about a quarter turn), pull out the bulb and detach it from the wiring harness, replace with the new bulb, re-insert it back into the housing, and secure it in place with the retaining ring. Now you have to wiggle the light housing’s threaded rods (there are three) back into those tabs that you released to get it out. The threaded rods can be moved around to make this easier. When the housing is back in place, you’ll be able to see these little plastic things sticking out of the tabs, push back down on the tabs to lock the housing into place. Make sure that the housing it secure and doesn’t move around, if it does it means you didn’t get it back into place well enough. Replace the plastic plate on top and you’re done. The procedure for both headlights is essentially the same.
At first I was thinking to myself “This is so stupid and typical of newer cars.” But after I figured it out, it’s pretty easy to do. The second headlight only took me about 5 minutes.
