One particular post raises the fact that at some point in a white person's life, they will express the desire to learn a new language - which is all well and good as it would make one more worldly and cultured. The main problem is, as raised in the blog post, that the vast majority of people never follow through. I've decided that the same very much applies to instruments. How many people do you know that have once said "I'd love to be able to play the guitar/harmonica/tuba/etc."? I imagine quite a few. In fact, I have done both of these things in the past. In what will probably prove to be another failed attempt, I've decided to restart mucking about on the guitar, with the vague hope of one day being able to string a few chords together and, being cheap, I've turned to the internet to guide me on my musical journey. I found this website (click on the semi cut off banner below) which is free and gives short video lessons, with included lesson notes, from the very beginning onwards for both guitar and bass. So go forth, my children, I challenge thee to start something that you may never finish/make any progress on!

It's funny because it's true
Well, a fair bit of it anyway. Stuff White People Like is a blog "devoted to stuff that white people like". It's quite amusing, with some of it being embarrassingly true (not necessarily for you, but most posts relate to someone you know, or at least know of). It covers everything from pea coats, Bob Marley and hating people who wear Ed Hardy.
