for the first time (maybe)
I’ve got a gig tonight, with possibly the best trio in my neighborhood, and I don’t care…I DO hope I feel better before the show, but as of NOW ? Fuckit…Just gimme the money–although I intend to give that to the “roomie”…We’re not the best because we rehearse so meticulously…we don’t rehearse AT ALL, THAT’S why we’re the best…The audience we will be facing has for the most part never heard/heard of us, so anything/everything we do will be new to them…It’s not my nature to pretend, but tonight I will TRY to “act enthusiastic” at the gig…And as for the Hurricane Sandy Benefit next week, again I don’t much care…It wouldn‘t make a difference if MSR plays or not, the group is a relatively unknown entity…that’s Ego on my part, but I don’t care…other than exposure to a potentially large audience, there’s no reason as far as *I* can see for doing the gig…Money will be raised (a good cause) whether we play or not…we get (maybe) 15 minutes onstage, it just doesn’t yet seem worth it…I texted $10 way back when there was a telethon for the victims…I assume that money was put to good use…but I dunno fer sure…
Like I’ve said before, the whole “new year” thing don’t mean shit to me…If YOU want it to be a significant event, be my guest…I think that’s a waste of time…and I believe I’m right…
In the good news/bad news category, my amp has arrived from Jersey…and I can’t get it ’til Saturday…I had other plans for Saturday; I really DO wanna organize the basement–even *I* can’t stand to look at it anymore…It SHOULDN’T take long to get the amp, but it might…I dunno why…Buying Musical equipment takes awhile, buying a car takes longer, buying a house takes the longest…
ADDENDUM–I’m (naturally) getting a bit excited about tonight’s gig…I’m not faking it…have NO idea how I’m gonna get there yet…but more or less, Life is Good…
