“Hey Hey What Can I Do” Guitar Tab

Date: March 22nd, 2009  Category: Things  Tags: , , ,   [ View Comments ]

The Led Zeppelin song “Hey Hey What Can I Do” is one of my all-time favorites. It was recorded in 1970 and appeared as a b-side to the “Immigrant Song” single. Anyway, when I decided to learn a simple acoustic version of the song I could not find an easy to follow tab with all the lyrics. After watching some guys YouTube video lesson I created my own tab for the song.

Notes: I am not an expert tab writer and this tab is no where near perfect. Also, the YouTube lesson and this tab are in standard tuning. The original recording of the song is using a non-standard tuning (not sure what it is). Finally, I use this tab as a simple chord guide to help me while I learn the song. You’ll need to listen to the song and figure out the changes and strumming on your own.

Dear Sirius Satellite Hip-Hop DJs

Stop fucking talking so much and play more music. Please…?

I have satellite radio for a reason. No commercials, dedicated genre-based channels, and so I can listen to more music and less talk. It would be great if when driving to/from work I could just hear one song. Thanks.

I’m Quitting Smoking (Round 2)

Date: March 9th, 2009  Category: People, Things  Tags: ,   [ View Comments ]

I’ve smoked cigarettes for a long time. Too long. I just turned 30 years old a few months ago and I did a lot of thinking about my life, my future, etc. One of the things that continually bothered me was my smoking habit. Sure, I used to like smoking when I was younger. The social aspect, the “good feeling” that nicotine triggers, and the stress relieving properties were all good things I thought.

But, here I am today. Sick of smoking and hating the way it makes me feel. I of course also know all the bad things it can do to your health as well. I won’t go on and on about all that here, but, the bottom line for me is I’m just tired of it and no longer want to deal with its many burdens.

So, I started reviewing popular ways to quit. Patches, pills (ie. anti-depressants), hypnosis, seminars, you name it. I don’t particularly want to use any nicotine replacement systems (ie. patches or gums). I know that within 12 hours of your last cigarette the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal and your oxygen levels go back up to normal as well. And, within 3-7 days of your last cigarette you’re body is basically no longer chemically dependent on nicotine and any withdrawals start to subside. So, why keep feeding your body that shit for weeks after quitting? Didn’t make sense to me.

I definitely do not want to use any type of prescription pill like Zyban or Chantix. These are either anti-depressants or chemicals which interfere with the brain’s nicotine receptors. Both of these types of drugs have a long list of possible side-effects which I won’t bore you with. But, a few in particular bother me like thoughts of suicide, depression, vivid/strange dreams and so on. No thanks…

Everywhere I read about various stop smoking programs I kept seeing Allen Carr’sEasyWay to Stop Smoking” book and seminars. So, I bought the DVD and the book online and will be giving that a try. It supposedly has a high success rate and I liked that it didn’t require drugs of any kind. I’m definitely skeptical but after reading all the reviews and checking out all the info on the program I’m trying to stay positive and give it a fair chance.

Why did I finally decide to try quitting again today? Well, on-top of a myriad of other external forces (friends, family, general heath concerns) I’ve had this cough/sore throat and congestion for a little over a week that just won’t go away. I finally felt so crappy today that I visited my doctor and he said I most likely had whatever cold bug that’s going around currently and it’s turned into a slight respiratory infection because I smoke. Lovely…

Anyway, hoping this program will work for me. Wish me luck.
