STILL HASN'T TURNED UP, SO...

Well it's been a couple weeks since the ukulele just vanished in thin air. I stopped worrying about it. Stay gone for all I care. Makes me no difference. The air is lighter in my house since it has been MIA.  So I have been taking the opportunity to enjoy my new ukulele. The one I bought from Amazon. Ya know.. The one that isn't haunted.

I have been logging onto my favorite online ukulele lessons site. It's called Center Stage Ukulele Academy.
I am really enjoying it and learning a lot. It's amazing when there is nothing in life to bother you or distract you, how much you can get done.  I would advise any of you out there reading this, if you want a good site to learn the ukulele at an affordable price, these guys are the way to go.  They teach you everything from how to buy a ukulele to learning techniques like ukulele barre chords.

So I am taking this time to get as deep into this as possible because I have absolutely no idea when stuff is going to start ramping up again. It sucks because it is always in the back of my mind. Like there is something looking and ready to throw everything into a tailspin again.

Right now I am going through their list of ukulele songs, trying to pick out a couple to really learn and master.  I will keep you posted.

NO SUN

Ok, now I hve totally had it.. The ukulele is gone. Yes.. GONE! Remember last post I had this guy read my blog and said he thought it was cool to have a haunted uke? I seems he likes to collect haunted objects. Well I told him that I would sell it to him gladly.. And of course.. I can't find it. It vanished.

How I noticed this was, I was on my new uke. The one I bought on Amazon. I was learning the Here Comes The Sub chords when I thought, this would sound really good on the old ukulele. I searched everywhere and I can't find it. It is as if it knows that I finally found a new home for it.

So the dude keeps on calling me and leaving messages but I don't know what to say to him. I've looked for three days no and nothing. Nowhere to be found. Maybe if I talk to it.. Maybe if I tell it that it can stay.. But thing is I don;t want it to stay. I want it the hell out of my house and my life..

Any suggestions on what I should do?

WELL, IT'S STARTED AGAIN!

I give up, man. I am at the end o my rope.

So someone saw this blog and reached out to me and asked me if I would be willing to sell the haunted ukulele. I said HELL YES.  I asked him if he knew that it was a little... "off" ya know? He said he was aware of it and that he is into collecting haunted items. I told him that I would gladly GIVE him the ukulele at no charge. I told him to email me his address and I would put it int he mail this weekend.,

So last night I had this really really horrible dream. I was boxing up the ukulele and getting ready to walk ouyt the door to go to the post office. The front door was gone. I looked all over the house for a way to get out and there was none. No doors. No windows. No way out. All of a sudden I hear something I heard when I first got it. It sounded like the Somewhere Over The Rainbow ukulele chords, but out of tune and eerie.

The feeling of dread started engulfing my body and I started to panic. I dropped the ukulele and ran all over the house, desperate to find a way out. The eerie playing getting louder and louder. And then I hear laughing.

I wake up screaming.

I knew right there and then that it won't let me go. It was determined to stay in my life. The weekend passed and I never made it to the post office. The man contacted me again but I haven't responded yet. Maybe it is for the best. I don't want to put someone else in this position. Yes I know he collects haunted items but I don't think he knows what he will be getting into with this ukulele.

I'm stuck.

IT'S BEEN QUIET THE LAST FEW DAYS

I'm wondering if the ukulele knows. It's been really quiet the last few days. The calm before the storm? Maybe. Maybe it knows that I will ship it off if it acts up again. Maybe it is trying really hard to behave itself.

All I know is that there hasn't been any strange occurrences since the mailman dropped it off. Maybe it just wanted out of the box. For the last few days I just dropped it in the corner of the room and left it there. But it has been really quiet.  So this morning I woke up with this urge to play it. I don't know why I had that urge. I just did. So after breakfast I went over to the box and took it out. I have been practicing ukulele barre chords on my new uke. It sounded pretty good but I have to admit, the old uke sounded way better. It just has this certain tone. This character that I cannot explain. 

I then began to practice my Here Comes The Sun Ukulele lesson that I found online. Still no shenanigans. I am wondering if I am out of the woods now. Maybe the ukulele just wants a home. Just wants to be loved. Maybe all those weird things were it calling out for attention. Maybe.

So far so good.
