When i was 21, i got a cool black acoustic guitar like this for Christmas. It was a really nice guitar, but, i never really learned how to play it. But this year, is the year of the guitar!Let me start from the beginning.
I started going to the gym with an old friend from Maceys. Her husband, used to be my really good friend also. In fact, I went to my very first concert with him (the warped tour) along with a few other concerts. (the AquaBats and MxPx) Anyway, while working out with her one day, she mentioned that her husband gave guitar lessons. I was like, DUH! Why don't i have him teach me?! She asked him about it and he was really excited.
(perfect!)
Now, i offered to pay but they wouldn't have it. They wouldn't let me. Anyone who knows me well, knows how much i HATE when people try to take advantage of me and have me SLAVE away and take wedding and family pictures at MY expense. (i'm all about atleast trading) So of course, i didn't want to be a hypocrite and get FREE 
guitar lessons... but how was i supposed to pay when they wouldn't let me?

YOO HOO!
Referring back to what i said earlier, Mckay and i had gone to the warped tour together when we were both 18. They served Yoo hoo at a random booth there. It was my very first Yoo hoo experience and it changed me forever. (if you have doubts, just try it. Then and only then will you understand) From then on, i looked for Yoo hoo wherever i went and was only able to find it in CALIFORNIA and NEW YORK. You can imagine, i would savor it, each time i was able to partake.
Then it came to UTAH!
Anyway, i knew that Mckay liked Yoo hoo also and i thought, what better way to pay for my guitar lessons than a 6-pack of Yoo hoo?
There is no better way. (it was this or meatballs... :)
YEA! We all win.

love the new blog look.
and i was thinking, "i've never had yoo-hoo", even before you began exhorting it.
so while i haven't tried it yet, i think it's a great means for a system of bartering.
cool guitar, by the way.
that is so cool! you'll have to teach me once you learn! :)
I love YooHoo too. It's best when it's really, really cold. On my mission in New Jersey, YooHoo was the treat we'd have once in a while (we were poor missionaries of course).
I've always wanted to learn the guitar too. So, I'll live my dreams through you! By the way, email Krif ( real first name, last name @gmail.com) with your email address. We've sent you invites to our blog, but maybe we have the wrong address.
Later gater,

WHOA! Good to see a new blog post from you Jaimenator. That is cool that you will be learning how to play gi-tar. After you master that I think you should take up the banjo and the cut a CD for us all to hear. Hope things are going well!
