It's so hot and sticky out, I feel like I am living in Mother Nature's vagina.
Well, I got asked to be a church's cantor... permanently. It pays lousy, but I get extra for doing weddings and funerals. When they asked me, I was like, "but I don't even believe in Jeebus," but I didn't say that out loud. There are many singers out there who would love to have a cantoring job, albeit a lousy-paying one. Lousy, as in, it pays absolutely nothing. But it's a chance to sing, even poorly written songs. But to stand there on the altar next to the priest, when I don't believe in a lot of what he's saying? Is that right?
I haven't been writing a lot lately due to lack of inspiration, and being busy with music and lessons. However, I've been reading a lot, so I guess that's auspicious for when the time comes when I am fully able to write.I've just finished reading Coin Locker Babies by Ryu Murakami (not to be confused with Haruki Murakami, who could also be mentioned in the same breath as the former). Now, I can't recommend him enough for people who have a taste for the dark and cutting edge, as well as people who are interested in social problems in Japan and the dark side of human nature.
Anyway, I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing, but I can't seemed to get motivated. Does anyone have any tips?
