because I was me…

tonight’s gig went very well IMO…Frankly I was pretty happy with my guitar playing for once…I think that was because I DIDN’T get into a “shooting match” with the other guitarist…I played like ME and he played like HIMSELF…We traded riffs back and forth once or twice and that was neat…Stylistically and tone wise we’re […]

warning signs

I’ve got a gig tonight, playing loud rock and roll…last week I played an acoustic gig and it took almost TWO days to recover…to be fair, SLR gets intense sometimes…I’ve been doing stuff all morning too…kinda concerned about my health…but I think I’m well-rested…There are plans for Sunday, but I think they’re gonna get rained […]

just push some buttons and bingo…

after two or three days without use of the laptop, the “roomie” sat down, pushed some buttons and fixed it…I didn’t miss Fakebook but I missed Friendburst…and my e-mail and Google…and youTube… getting excited/nervous about Saturday’s gig with the Hired Guns…I hope to come home with $50 bucks, if not more…the bad news is I […]

so what’s next?

well, this coming Friday I’m gonna go talk to the effin’ dingbats at the Food Stamp office…the left idiot doesn’t know what the right doofus is doing…I actually talked to my case worker ON THE PHONE, but today I got a piece of paper that sez “we never heard from you, etc.” That’s f**ked up…But […]

wasted anxiety, maybe…

so I got to the gig neighborhood with an hour to spare…had I gone just a tad further up the road I woulda found LOTS of stuff to do and/or places to hang out or eat…luckily there was a Farm Store… the gig went very well I think…I DID refuse to wear the tuxedo shirt…but […]

we’ll see what tomorrow brings

went up the road to hear a band (a bunch of people I know), very close to home…they were OK…saw some “friends” in the audience…hung out for about two and a half hours…now I’m trying to “wind down” so I can hopefully get some sleep…If I have MY way, I’ll be leaving here at Noon […]

the beginning of the end?

for weeks now SLR has emphasized how important Sunday’s show is…so why on Earth would she want me to wear a tuxedo t-shirt ? Just at the point in time when I’m trying not to appear to be a clown, she wants me to look like one…I don’t get that…we had a major disagreement about […]

that yin/yang thing again

the “roommie” is outta town, not by choice, but still…I am enjoying a certain amount of freedom and yet feeling a bit lonely too…I sorta have wheels, but probably with restrictions…for instance, I WANTED to go out tonight, somewhere…but I AM tired; maybe Friday night (after rehearsing with SLR) or Saturday night…of course I can’t […]
