(?) Kwanzaa

I don’t know how to greet / wish people a *good* Kwanzaa… ah who cares, it’s not a real holiday anyway! Also today is Boxing Day! Besides… I’d rather just post about our Christmas experience this year.

We got up, Lori made breakfast: bacon, potatoes and omelets!. We ate in the living room and watched the Revolution Christmas DVD. After breakfast, Lori opened her large present which was hidden behind the couch. It was a guitar, finally after 4 or 5 years of me wanting to get her a guitar for Christmas, I did.
As for me, I got Guitar Hero and Rock Band, that was our agreement. Oh yeah, and a baby for Christmas!! We also talked about how this would be our last Christmas with just us and how next year we’d have a baby (who’d have no idea what was going on) to open gifts!

Lori played with her Guitar for a while, which brought back many memories for her and within a few minutes she found her old chord and Beatles song books and was playing again. Not to feel left out, I decided to bust out my Axe and play some online Rock Band!

We went over to my Grandfather’s house for lunch and hung out with my family. After that we headed over to Holly and Jim’s house for desert. We made our way home and I started to pull out the Guitar for Rock Band. It was then Lori said, I wanna play the drums. I said sure lets do it.

Well, it turns out Lori has great rhythm and loves to play the Drums in Rock Band. Finally I got her to play this game and she enjoys it. She created her own (fem) drummer character and we played a few songs then jumped into some online band play adding another guitar (bass) and a singer.

Lori was feeling good about her playing, so I decided for our final song to play Run To The Hills (which is my favorite Iron Maiden song) This is supposed to be the hardest song on EXPERT mode. She played it in EASY and did super. I was impressed.

Today I went to see Walk Hard, which was funny! After coming home, we jumped back into some Rock Band, this time with special guest vocalist Donovan and we jammed out on a few songs. Later, Lori and I started our own band, played some local gigs. We’re on our way to tour the world!
