Your local Music store doesn’t have the thing ya want, so you look online…and there it is…so ya buy it and wait…and wait, and wait…the very day you bring the thing home, your local Music store gets one…it looks cooler (that’s a subjective thing of course) and costs a bit more…(sigh)…I’m going out to see […]
other than pre-gig first set jitters (apparently all three of us had ’em) the MSR show went really well…what I DIDN’T know until I got there was that Hardman/Jaye who usually serve as our “break band”, were splitting the bill with us, co-headliners ya might say…THAT was a bit of a surprise…but I genuinely had […]
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 […]
…but I will, just dunno when; Naturally Michaels Management couldn’t give me the REAL reason they let me go–I got on their f**kin’ nerves…I KNOW that, *I* call it being cautious…every coin has two sides…Everyone knows “You weren’t productive enough” is the generic answer to the question “Why was I fired?” I’m 95% sure (because […]
I know I’ve gone back and forth on the question, but I believe I DID wanna stay at Michaels–maybe…but today I got the ax…MY side of the story–I was criticized for being cautious…THEY said I wasn’t productive enuff…I didn’t get a chance to tell them about the employee who didn’t give a fuck whether he […]
a so called friend of mine is struggling with a personal problem…it’s a rather common one, you can probably guess what it is…I have been very VERY supportive and as I already mentioned I begged her to go out with me AS A FRIEND, nothing more…I even (temporarily) had use of a vehicle…She kept saying […]
December 23., a little snow and plenty of wind. Yesterday This morning http://youtu.be/uVPYR9UFsTU http://youtu.be/SM1DXqruxiU
for the first time ever, I co-hosted an open mic…I even got paid for it, which I didn’t expect and tried to decline; I took a reduced fee…I even did a short solo set–the host made me do it…Good bad or whatever, I didn’t quite enjoy it…if my Ego is so big, why do I […]
Welcome to the December 2012 Edition of “Pick-Apart Poetry” as we celebrate Christmas in a Pick-Apart kind of way. ‘Tis the Season for Love and Peace and Good Cheer. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! And in the spirit of Christmas Day, we celebrate poetically as we select our 25 words from the three Christmas songs […]
I begged I pleaded, but to no avail…I wanted a certain friend to hang out with me this evening because SHE‘S alone on Christmas Day…*I* don’t mind all that much–IF there’s something on TV, and I think there is, I’ll be fine…but I have genuine affection for her…she’s struggling with a personal problem…The “personal problem” […]
