Wanted Movie Review

In a last minute decision to go to the movies this past Friday, I went with a group of friends to see wanted. I had seen the previews with the curving bullets, sports cars, and of course Angelina Jolie.

The movie started with a day in the life of the main character in the movie who works as an accountant which he hates and has a girlfriend who cheats on him with his so called best friend. The character is too big of a loser to say anything about it. Long story short, Jolie and a group called the Fraternity find him and the action starts there.

It was a pretty good action movie with a good twist about 3/4 of the way through the movie.

I'm giving this a 3/5

Electric not for me..?

About 2 years ago, I got a Tom Delonge Fender Stratocaster from my uncle. He is primarily a blue grass guitar player who sticks with acoustic stuff. Well I guess he decided to try out the world of blues/electric riffs. Long story short back when I was at the height of my guitar interest, he just gave it to me.

Until recently, I never had an amp for it but for my birthday last year (big 2-2) I invested in a VOX AD50VT Valvetronix amp. The main thing I was shopping for was a tube amp for a reasonable price.

After playing the strat I have found that making the transition from acoustic to electric has been more frustrating that I had imagined. I assumed that since acoustic guitars generally have higher action and more string tension that jumping on the electric train would be easier. Not so much, I learned that a lot of the songs and jams I enjoy so much on acoustic either aren't as fun on electric or just don't have that tone that I am used to enjoying from acoustic.

So what to do? keep pushing through the frustration..?

nah, for now I am going to get back on what got me started into this hobby, acoustic guitar.

Trying out the google blogging tool.

As some of you know, I used to keep my site, www.ajleroy.com, updated fairly regularly but since I am doing of a lot of web development at my job currently, I don't have the desire to write my own blogging/cms system.

I would like to keep this updated regularly and post stuff going on with me, friends and family.

Let's see how this goes.
