it’s the end result that matters, right?
Slowly but surely I’ve been drifting away from the other FB…and the so-called friends I have there…I was gonna write some kinda goodbye/kiss-off post, and maybe even name names…but I chickened out…and I was serious about giving up that Music “hobby” that I’ve been involved in since 1969…that’s a bit tougher, I’ve got a house concert w/ SLR at the end of January…and Lou wants to try a new place after the New Year…the place actually isn’t new, but the open mic host is…hopefully she’s a bit more talented than the previous host…Quitting anything “cold turkey” is tough…that’s true of Music and social media…tough but not impossible…
I took a break from Music before, when I left the Last Chance Band…I think it lasted almost five years…Looking back, I think moving from my hometown to Montgomery County (permanently) had a lot to do with that too…Now I can’t remember how or when I got back into it; and now I feel like I’ve wasted all that Time hoping to “go professional”…almost 20 years (1995-2013) going to open mics and jamming…there were a couple of actual Bands…and at this point, I can’t remember how/why I’ve ended up musically unemployed…Maybe one of my “friends” was right, I AM too picky…And I STILL say shouldn’t EVERY Musician be picky? (sigh)
Life is…okay…the new but temporary work schedule is kinda hard on me…I think I’m gonna go in tonight around 7 or 8PM…tonight it might take 6 hours…glad I’ve got the M&Ms…
LATER–I went in at 6 started at 7 and left at about 10:30 or so…I think I put “11:30” on the timecard…not because I’m a scumbag but because I figured my Bosses would be skeptical enough as it was…I hurried AND there wasn’t a whole lotta trash to deal with…so what might have taken 6 hours only took three and a half…it’s true that I decided if something didn’t need to be done (in my opinion) I didn’t do it…Tuesday night is gonna be a little different I suspect…There probably won’t be much trash to worry about, but there will be re-cycle-ables…LOTS of that…I’ll go in when I go in and I’ll come home when I come home…I think I’ll be glad when I get back to my “normal” schedule…
