Pick up your way

Is it possible to know what is better for you? It is you. It is your own life. You know that every action will have a result. But how to choose one way? You can choose a way but it might be wrong. Or not. For example, some man want to be a great musician. What has he do to reach it? He has to work hard all of the time or he just has to have a talent? And that's all the thing...
The only way to decide is to try everything. You have to try working hard, doing nothing, watching the professionals or someting else. Everything that you can imagine.
I don't know which way is better for me. I don't know if I have to wake up tomorrow in 5 a.m. and sing, sing, sing. Or I have to sleep till evening and then I will create the best song ever. But I think if I will do something as well as sing or dance or... it will be better than nothing. Right?

How to turn music into the meaning of life?

We're having a big conversation about life and music. What are we going to do to enjoy the music? It's like a cornerstone for musicians. When you picked up your profession already. You have to learn a lot of stuff, you have to create new things and you should enjoy this. Because if you won't like it, if you will do this with anger and impatience you will destroy everything.
Sometimes it is hard enough to be brave because everybody tells you that you are doing a bunch of crap. Everybody wants you to do some common things. They want you to work on the factory or in the office, to do regular job, to make your world grey.

The only way to fight with it is to find hidden forces in your soul. You should be strong in your solutions. You should train your willpower. You have to understand that you really need it, you want it and you can't live without it. It's like in the childhood when a little girl decides to be a princess. She doesn't care that she can't be a princess. She doesn't care that she hasn't a castle. She's taking all her stuff and turns it to the fairy-tale. All of us have this little girl inside. The only thing you need is to release her and let her do everything.

The easiest way to live

What is the most popular question ever? - How to become a happy person? Unfortunately more than 80% of population don't do anything to reach it. The answer is that you have to just do. Like "Yes Man" you just have to say "OK" and do it. It is easier than it looks. Why do I keep talking about it? Because that is the main thing I realised from the last week. It was like: "Oh my, I did it for myself and it tooks only one week?" Before the last week I thought that it would take a month. And then the one big thought appeared in my mind. What if I will do the same things with the same speed for the whole time? I'll can do everything I want. And, you know, it is the great feeling. Like a fly or swimming.
     In case of this wave I went to the university (finally))) and passed the exam with the B-mark. I was so frightened about it. But I DID it and everything went good.
     If every single person would do everything they need right at time there will be a lot of Bill Gates everywhere. I checked that I can do much more. The only thing I needed is not to think but do. If only I would remember about it all the time))) Maybe it is a right time to do an experiment? I'll try to DO for the whole next week. Next monday I'll check my progress.

Opening of the blog takes a big responsibility. It is well-known fact that almost 90% of online blogs are not active. So to make a popular blog you have to write more often. Mike as he is a drummer chose a fast speed of writing - one post per day. So now we should post something every single day (Zoe has to do this because she knows English better then others). But at the same time quality shouldn't suffer from the quantity, otherwise our blog will turn into the everyday bunch of garbage.

So, interesting fact: In 1984 the drummer of hard rock band Def Leppard Rick Allen was in a car accident and lost his left arm. But this disaster didn't crash his music career. He started to train on the drum kit specially designed for him. There were recorded samples of hits that he had done with his left hand and he played it moved with his left foot. Since then, Rick Allen was involved in the record of many successful albums of Def Leppard, as well as several of his own projects.

Well, let's go back to us. After Mike's morning jog to the shop he helped Mickey to fix the problem with the computer. Because when you are trying to turn it off,  it just turns back on again. The first thought was that some kind of an artificial intelligence possesses our computer (and, hopefully, it will help us to make platinum albums). But unfortunately we found out that the problem was with the sound card. The power supply is not enough powerful as needed. So now in order to solve it, we will have to turn off the surge protector every time we want to turn off the computer. Yippee!

Mike and Alex visited a music store and bought cables in order to record sound without background noise. Also they bought picks for a thumb for Mickey to play fingerstyle in acoustics. Mickey is so glad and almost said “thank you” to them.

Also Mike set up a Stream Video when the sound comes from the sound card and a video comes from the web-cam. Now he won't spend so many time to edit video and sound. Those 6 hours he spent on the mounting and converting had no purpose. He created hour and a half of the dark screen and almost no sound.


And we are proud to present our new online channel http://www.livestream.com/muzzleofbeestv

Be always faithful to your idols! We wish you chicks and money!

Bye-bye, The Job!

 

Saturday's night. We had an every week conversation about everything. A lot of new things happened this week. Mike put the poster frame on the wall, but without the poster for right now. He is working on it. It will be a big poster with the Muzzle Of Bees on it. One thing to do is to prepare it. =)

Today Mike was working for 5 hours in the cloth shop named O'Stinе. After 5 hours he told the manager: "I really don't want to work here. Bye-bye!" Isn't that great?)))

On the agenda there is a video for The Subways. Tomorrow we'll have a brainstorming. Everybody will suggest the ideas for the video. Hope we'll find one common conception.

By the way, Mickey told us about an autobiography of Keith Richards which is called "Life". Inspiriting book. Unfortunately there is no translation in russian so we'll try to find an English version. Hope that some web-stores have it on sale.

Also Mike and Alex did a great job cleaning the kitchen and bathroom. There was pretty dirty. Tomorrow will be Zoe and Mickey’s turn to clean up the living-room. That is really dull but necessary.

I think that's all. Nothing else happened this week. I guess that new week will be more successful for us in a music way. Everything is changing. I see that everybody in a band is trying to bring something new in our life. That makes me feel damn good. =))) We are a team already and the only one thing is important right now - to live with music. For all of us...
