It seems to be the 'in' thing to post to ones journal this map deal that shows what states you've been to. So, to not be left out, here are the States I've Visited (opens in a new window). By "Visited", I mean actually been to beyond flying through, and have at least some memory of the state. So this includes states I've driven through, and not really done anything but I remember something about being in that state (this only applies to a few). Enjoy.
I just got back from a superbowl party. Yea. Fun. Go team. Good game, but I didn't really care much. Good food. Shawn, from work, was hosting and made wings, chili, 'lil smokeys, and other party type snacks. Very good food. I also tried a 'chocolate beer'. Reminded me of something from Belgium, as they are known for their chocolate and beer. It was ok, but probably half of it would've been enough. Since I drove I didn't have anything else, not that I would have had I not driven.
And, today was my first day playing bass at church. It went well. Definitly much more learning and practicing to be done on my part to get to where I want to be. I still don't quite understand how to stretch my hand as much as that guy on the video I have does... all in due time.
step one: be made of bendy rubber with wire for stability.
step two: well, really, that's all there is to it...
Yeah, the map thing is kinda purposeless for me as the vast majority would be red, but not like that is something to complain about. Next goal: countries ;)
Otherwise, glad the superbowl party and bass playing went well. I'm pretty sure I could whip up some finger extentions if you so desire... or maybe if I implant an electrode... finger motor and sensory abilities actually take up a nice size of the cortex (compared to other appendages at least), wouldn't be too difficult to find and implant...
I started the countries one, but then realized that its far to empty to bother posting. Too many small islands in the carribean that I don't remember, would take a while to fill that out. And have I been to france if it's a french island?
Muscle memory... such a big part of music, I need an electrode that will hook me up with some musical skillz.
Something else that I find interesting, or perhaps more telling, is that every state I've been to is connected to another (sans Hawaii). One would never guess that my primary mode of transportation is by automobile... never...
