Not so "fun"

I have been bored out of my mind these last couple of days. My whackass work schedule does not leave me much time to have fun. They cut back my hours for next week though, not a good thing but I do plan to take advantage of the extra free time. The number of hours I work is not my complaint, it's the actual hours they want me to be at the store. Three to eleven? WTF is that man. Not to mention next week they expect me to show up at six thirty to work for only four hours, yea right. Today I worked nine to five. That's great. I go in early and get to leave early enough para hechar desmadre. Oh well. I have only been working there for a month. Hopefully I will get a better schedule soon.

Mexican guitarists, that rock!

It's been a while since my last update. Oh well, I've been lazy, ok? In case you are actually concerned, the court thing went fine. I have one more scheduled appearance and I'm done. There's something I really want to talk about though. I don't want to sound like I'm selling something, but it's about this really awesome guitar duel.

Rodrigo y Gabriela play metal, on classical guitars. Actually they are influenced by metal. Still. They may be Mexican, but they don't play mariachi music. What they do play is some kick-ass acoustic rock music. It is not the easiest musical style to define, so below is a video of them playing "Tamacun" live. The song is off their self-titled album.

There a a couple more videos posted on their site. You can also search YouTube since that's where they are hosted. I already have three of their cds, one of them is live. Hearing them play guitar makes me proud to be Mexican. ^_^ I just wish I could play like that. =\
