Klutzes Are Amazing!

I'm a klutz. I've tripped on sidewalk cracks, flat linoleum, and a wall. (Don't know how.)
At the very least I can make a joke of it.

Who Whats To Be Famous?

I'm back to writing songs! This is for my own solo music project, which means I'm...gasp...singing. (I'm still working out the name of the project; I have a few ideas here.) This is really just an experiment, if I can't make my singing sound tolerable, then the project goes away.
Note: I'm writing the song as part of a story featuring a random person who wants to be famous. This is not my personal opinion.
Here's the song:

I am bored
I'm tired of this world I right now see
I want more
My world is now far too small for me

All these doors
Lead to dullness beyond belief
Force us in the mold
'Till only boredom is all we feel

(Chorus)
I want it all
I'll touch the stars no matter the cost
I'll beat the odds
Go and try, but I won't be stopped

I'll be a star
Immortalized on the TV screen
I will go far
I will get every single one of my dreams

I've got the right cards
I little time is all I need
It won't be long
'Till record sales will come to me

(Chorus)

(Violin Solo + Distortion)

I am done
No more mediocrity
I'll be number one
I see that's where I am to be...


There you have it. If the project goes further, then the story will go to songs featuring the character's attempting to be famous, complete with cliffhanger at end....

My New Music Project: Naming

I'm starting a solo music project. Practically everything is up in the air, except that it will be an album-long story about a random person trying to be famous. Update: Everything is up in the air.
The first order of business is naming the project. I have a few ideas right now.
-Introducing...The Musicbox!
That is the first name I thought of. I wanted to elaborate on an idea of a cardboard box spitting out music notes. It's going to include the ellipses and exclamation point; it won't be the first time people have put punctuation marks in a band name.
-Lined Paper
With this name, I'd use a lined paper motif on any artwork related to the project.
Update: It's not very attention-grabbing.
-Mail-order Fail
Insulting yourself always catches attention. Possible: Mail-Order Failure
Update: In hindsight, it's not that great a name.
-No One Important
If I ever get over stage fright, then it'd be funny to have the MC say "Introducing...No One Important!"
-Update- Panda Plays Punk
My locker partner in school has taken to calling me "Panda" (My last name is "Pandey"), just like Microsoft Word has for a while. The music I intend to play doesn't have a lot in common with punk music besides a minimalist structure, zero polish, and lyrics commenting on society, but it's catchy.


Please comment on what you like the most...or if they all are terrible

Dr Sci-Fi, A Long Time Ago

I actually came up with Dr Sci-Fi in seventh grade. I had to do notes in color for science, so I raided my brother's weird twisty crayon set. After doing the notes, I created the ultimate mad scientist.
Dr. Sci-Fi was created.

Four Funnies

Here are 4 cartoons.
Clockwise from top left: Why superheroes buy a lot of shoes; Dr. Epic being the exact opposite; that "Seagull" cartoon (I posted it twice...darn); faking your skillz.
