So... I play guitar...



Hi everyone, this is Paul again... posting my second blog ever; you should all be so proud. Anyway, a few months ago I had this goal of recording some Christmas music on the guitar in the hopes that it would be done before December and I could send a CD to people. Well... it didn't work out, but a few days ago I did finish song number 4, and I decided to do some research to see if there was a way to post my own music on a blog. Well it is possible, but it takes about... three years. I did finish though so here you are. Let me explain a couple of things though. To listen, click on the player below, where it says posts... scroll down and pick a song. For some reason, it says christmas goodness 3 times, don't click those. Also, the song Jingle Bells is on there twice... I can't explain it, it just so happens that its the one song I would almost prefer nobody heard, but I convinced myself to add it anyway, and there it is... twice. You should listen to that song last because I sing in it, and you don't want to ruin your appetite for the other songs. :) Jenne, do you remember when I told you that I don't have a "church voice," and you asked what that meant? This is what it means... listen to jingle bells... basically... I suck! hahaha But that song was a lot of fun to do so I threw it on there so people could see what kind of weird things I do for fun. Also I added a recording I did of I am a child of god just for fun because a lot of people haven't heard it. Enjoy!

Don't ask me what it means where it says subscribe to podcast or whatever... I don't have a clue. But, should anyone feel the desire to download any of the songs... I don't really know how to do that, but email me and I'll email you the songs... for free, because I'd say they're pretty much worth... free. paulramos84@gmail.com

My Tree:



If you can't tell from the picture (click on it to make it bigger if ya want) it has lots of oragami cranes, some of my Hallmark ornaments, plain ole balls, and garlands. I think it's super cute... but you don't have to take my word for it. ;)

More to come...

Greatest Weekend EVER!

Paul and I have been looking forward to this weekend for like... at least 6 weeks. That's a LONG time. It's an all stars line up with two of our favorites:
FRIDAY: Our favorite comedian BRIAN REGAN

It was amazing... this was the second time we have seen him live and once again we were both almost (or actually) in tears and had stomach aches from laughing so hard. Seriously, he's funny on TV and his DVD's but in real life just watching him play off the audience is incredible... if you get a chance to see him, GO!!!!

SATURDAY: Trans-Siberian Orchestra (this is my favorite song)

This time last year....


I was inspired by my cute sister-in-law Kristen's blog of what she was doing this time last year... This time last year I was GIDDY and brand newly engaged as of last night... late, late last night. Sigh... it was so awesome. He wrote me a song and hid the ring in my guitar... so cute. This year I told him that in honor of our engagement anniversary he should write me a song... and a song every year after :) but that didn't happen. Better luck next year. To celebrate we bought our first Christmas tree today. Now I get to decorate HOORAY! I'm sure it won't be anything grand, but I'll post some pictures of what I do... maybe. ;)
