a Facebook “friend” of mine asked the theoretical question “How do ya know when your new Band is ready to play in public?” I wanted to say “If yer not sure if yer ready, then ya probably ain’t ready…” I don’t quite understand how any Musician can not know if they’re ready or not…For example, I’m pretty sure my performances of IN MY ROOM have been fairly bad…But that’s because I HAVEN’T PRACTICED singing it either with OR without MSR\u00a0 (the acoustic trio) so naturally it’s not gonna be very good...that’s MY fault…Judging from the responses he’s getting, it appears that *I* alone am the voice of reason…I don’t think ANY public place (even an Open Mic) should be used as a laboratory…that’s what the f**kin’ basement is for…<\/font>

I ran into a certain somebody on the bus yesterday…We know each other from my time at Safeway…I still think she’s cute, but I also think she’s a bit “quirky” even by my standards…At least now I know how old she is (30) and her name is (allegedly) Mona Lisa [something?] AND she’s engaged–to a man she met online (BIG red flag) so that‘s that…<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

a week away from payday and I’m broke–not doing that gig last week hurts…I still smell a rat…somehow I’ll manage I guess…food stamps are gone for now too…THAT hurts…I suppose it could be worse…
