After some thought and input from all the ladies in my group, I have decided on learning to play “Better Together” on a guitar. I am not much of a singer so I have decided to include my wife in on the signing portion. I will simply tell her to memorize the words to the song and once I have come close to mastering the guitar we will record a small video and present it to the group. I think this will work out perfectly because the song is called “Better Together” and we can sing and play together.
My first thought should be something fitness. I will start my journey by simple finding out how much sugar I am consuming in my life. My goal will be to cut my consumption sugar in half. The reason I find this to be important is that 3 out of 4 of my aunts and uncle have type 2 diabetes and their diet is the number 1 cause. We all know sugar is bad for us but I would like to find more out about it. My basic understanding is when sugar is consumed and in our system insulin is made in our pancreas it is then released to help get rid of sugar. When we consume too much sugar we damage our pancreas and need medication. Inquiry question -Are all sugars the same? -Why is the amount of sugar not indicated in alcoholic drinks? -Why do we crave sugar? -How do we rid the habit? -How much is too much sugar for the pancreas? -If we know sugar is bad for us and our population, how come it is advertised as being appealing to the youth? -What will it take for us to learn? -Are products that are sugar free, really better for you? -How did sugar become so wide spread in foods? Which manufactured food has the highest concentration of sugar compared to natural food? My second idea would be to learn how to play Jack Johnson’s song “Better Together”. My wife and I used to listen to him while we were dating. My 9th anniversary being married to her will be on April 23. I’m thinking to play this song for her and possible singing. Singing and playing the song will make her fall in love with me for at least another 9 years. -Will it be possible to play this song on an electric guitar? -How often do I need to practice? -How should my practice be broken up? -How long will it take for me to learn to play this song? -Should I only learn this song or practice other pieces? -Which techniques are best to practice? -How will I define success? -If I learn certain pieces of the song then piece them together and then record my voice over it does it still count or do I have to do it all in person? -Will I continue to play after this? -What will the greatest challenge be? |
