(no subject)
oh man, it's been a long time since i typed in this thing
the power in my house went out twice over like, a week and a half period, and whenever that happened, the whole internet and wireless network system got messed up, and i hate fixing it, so it took me a while to get it fixed twice.
lucky as i be, once the power outages got all finished up, i split blue slurpee all over my keyboard, the keyboard hates blue slurpee, and refused to accept my fingers.
thusly i had to move on and find a new typing companion, and i did, i bought the exact same keyboard that all of you think is really lame and not fun to type on, little do you know, that it rules
so here i am back on the internet after a couple weeks of SOMEHOW managing without it
anyway, i've really loved this summer, it's been great, to be completely honest with you i've been more steadily happy on a day to day basis right now than possibly any other time in my life, i feel good about most things, my job at 7-11 is really quite wonderful in a lot of ways, and it keeps me centered, and i have a wonderful little friend named melanie who is great to me and makes me smile lots of times, for the first time in maybe 3 years, music is not at the top of my priorities, it's still pretty high, i might say it's either number 2 or 3 right now, i'm not sure how completely comfortable i am with it though, i love playing with my band and have also really enjoyed playing with sarah over this summer, but i can clearly remember obsessing over music during the last few years of my life, scouring the internet for new bands and new sounds, and trying to push my playing so that i can could have a full language of rhythms and sounds that i could communicate with people. i think i still do that, especially with the latter one, but it's a little different than it used to be, i guess it feels more relaxed now, rather than anxious.
i've been helping coach my brother's summer baseball team and it's been SO fun. They just made it into the state tournament today, so next weekend they have games in cherry hill new jersey which is like 2 hours away from here where they play for the state championship. i've grown attached to the team, they're good shits, those kids, and i love coaching, i'll say it the way i said it to melanie: baseball is like this little sub-universe, with a whole different set of rules that cater to life and death. i think i love coaching so much because i have so much knowledge of this little universe, that it's a powerful feeling. it's a powerful feeling to tell your second baseman to move over two steps to the right, and then to have the opposiing hitter ground out to second in the exact spot where you told the kid to move. sure it's a lot of luck, but i feel like i help them be better players, and it's really fulfilling for me.
my band is playing a show in connecticut on july 22nd, when i know exactly when and where i'll probably get in all of your grills and ask you to come and see us if it's possible for you too, pat hull's playing too, i like his music a lot, come and have some fun with us, i think the place is a bar of some kind, so yeah, drink stuff too
