I have Internet Again

10:46 PM

The past few days I didn't have Internet. Well, it would be intermittent. Apparently some vital places didn't have electricity in my area, so my area didn't have Internet for a while. It was kinda annoying, but at least I had electricity and water. There have been too many days when I didn't have electricity and/or water here. I would say probably 1/5 days I have no electricity or no water or no Internet. It's very frequent that something goes out and it can last a day or a week or two.

A while back I didn't have water for like two weeks. I could not flush the toilet or take a shower or even wash my hands or even have any drinking water. On days I don't have electricity, everything is pitch black at night. My entire area would have no electricity, driving around is more difficult since stop lights would be out. I've had many days when I experienced that, I don't know if I wrote a journal entry for every time it happened, but it's happened a bunch.

Anyway today I just did a lot of work. I created a new server for Vegpal because of some upgrades and so on, and I figured out how to set that up myself. Oh, I also walked for an hour outside in the morning. And today I played several hours of Beat Saber.

I messaged Wahl the lyrics to the new version of the song yesterday. I am scrapping the first version of the song because I wrote the lyrics for that one and the lyrics for that one were way too romantic and involved. The first version lyrics used the word "love" a lot and that is extreme. This second version doesn't use the word "love" at all, but it's still quite romantic. I wrote like 25% to 50% of this, with Sarah the ghost writer I hired writing most of it, but I receive full credit for the whole thing:

• We made a promise
• 
  
• Verse 1:
• I hope we’ll finally see each other
• ‎‏That nothing else gets in the way
• ‎‏We’re gonna figure it out
• ‎‏We won’t let this go to waste
• 
  
• ‎‏Something always happens
• ‎‏And time passes by
• I’m always busy working
• And you have your own thing
• 
  
• Pre-chorus:
• We made a promise
• Go to a secret location
• Watch the sunset
• That kiss has me hoping
• 
  
• ‎‏Chorus:
• ‎‏The feelings are strong
• I can feel it
• Even with this distance
• I can’t be wrong
• These feelings are real
• We both know it
• Even if you’re far away
• This is how I feel
• 
  
• Verse 2:
• ‎‏We said we’d meet first
• ‎‏Then we can be together
• ‎‏So we kept making plans
• ‎‏Changes like the weather
• 
  
• Visit a cave with petroglyphs
• Watch the waves from a cliff
• That we’d sing and dance
• Together holding hands
• 
  
• ‎‏Pre-chorus:
• ‎‏We made a promise
• Take you to our secret spot
• ‎‏I’ll be waiting for you
• ‎‏‘Cause you’re all I want
• 
  
• ‎‏Chorus:
• ‎‏The feelings are strong
• ‎‏I can feel it
• ‎‏Even with this distance
• ‎‏I can’t be wrong
• ‎‏These feelings are real
• ‎‏We both know it
• ‎‏Even if you’re far away
• ‎‏This is how I feel
• 
  
• ‎‏Bridge:
• ‎‏I can’t wait for the day
• ‎‏That you’re finally with me
• ‎‏When I can hold you
• ‎‏Close to me, just existing
• 
  
• ‎‏Chorus:
• ‎‏The feelings are strong
• ‎‏I can feel it
• ‎‏Even with this distance
• ‎‏I can’t be wrong
• ‎‏These feelings are real
• ‎‏We both know it
• ‎‏Even if you’re far away
• ‎‏This is how I feel
• 
  
• ‎‏Outro:
• ‎‏We made a promise
• To travel the galaxy
• ‎‏I’ll be waiting for you
• ‎‏‘Cause you’re all I want

I have to use bullet points because there's no other way to get these lines to stick together. That's a bug for sure. Anyway I always text her a bunch of romantic stuff. Sigh. I'm planning on singing this song once I get back the backing track and vocal melody.

I'm kinda sleepy and tired right now or else I'd write more.

Anyway that was my day today.
