Busy weekends!

August 18, 2008 – 6:33 am
For one of the first times all year we had a weekend with zero plans. This is really odd for our family, so we take advantage of these weekends as much as possible. These usually end up being great opportunities to recharge the batteries. Well I decided that I would use this time to resurface my blacktop driveway. For those that have never done anything like this here is what all is required: 1. Clean the surface - This is usually a combination of removing all weeds that may be peaking up from the cracks, removing any debris (leaves, sticks, etc.), and removing any grease or oil that may be on the surface. This step actually took the longest, about 3 hours total. 2. Fill the cracks - There are two types of filler I use; a patch kit (looks like little pebbles covered in tar) and blacktop ...

Tenny the slacker

July 22, 2008 – 8:37 pm
sometimes having a blog makes me feel like a total online slacker.  It is like a constant reminder of how busy real life can be.  Needless to say I have had a lot going on since my last post.  I finished a term in school (woot another A), I am now in a new term (a kinda fun Shakespeare class), I went on a family cruise (with the in-laws), and I have been helping my sister's family move into their new house.  I have also been busy with a side project and still have been making some music.  Here is my newest tunage: Documents. Sorry for those who are checking in from time to time that I haven't been posting more....

Just checking in…

June 12, 2008 – 7:43 pm
All right I have all kinds of fun updates... For starters I got a couple of new songs I have been working on and surprise surprise I am singing again in them. I have actually had a bunch of fun singing on these tracks so don't be surprised if you see that a lot more in the future. Anyways here are the two new songs that I added. New Music: Consequences - This smooth rolling song just came to me over the course of a couple of hours. I actually wrote tons of lyrics but really enjoyed it more when I picked a few of my favorite lyrics and just repeated them a few times. I hope you enjoy. Sometimes simple is better - I made this song in a night (minus the singing) and the next day I was playing around with some vocals and settled on toying ...

I officially hate Nintendo!!!

May 28, 2008 – 5:51 pm
I have officially changed my opinion of Nintendo; I officially hate them. At first I was a huge fan. I mean Nintendo really defined my coming of age with home gaming. More importantly they defined my social gaming life. I think I need to qualify this statement a little and give a history of gaming life: It all started with my Atari 2600. It was cool and all but I was very young when we got it (remember now I was born in 1978). I like going back now and playing an Atari emulator and appreciate the impact Atari had on the industry, but really its impact on my gaming career is minimal. My second gaming system was our Apple II. Sure laugh and tell me that the Apple II isn't a gaming system, but I'll tell you what my brothers and I used to get in straight up fights to ...

New mini-album release: Pickles and Oranges

May 22, 2008 – 9:52 pm
I have decided to do a 6 song mini-album release. I have been holding on to a few songs for a couple weeks because I didn't know what direction I wanted to go with them. Tonight I put the finishing touches on most of them. I decided to release them as a group, but you'll also find them on my standard music player as well. Without further ado this is the latest solo project from Jason Tennyson - Pickles and Oranges.
