Alright
Alright. Wow, it's been a while. Or at least I think it has.
School's good. Actually, it's great. I love my classes. I really really love them. Student Council's good. Volleyball is fun. Mrs. Shaw and I have spent a lot of time together. We basically have an MAS-Mutual Admiration Society. I really love and respect her, and she basically feels the same. She knows that I really hated chemistry and volleyball last year. Well, I will never liked chemistry, but my feelings towards volleyball are a bit better, even if I don't play. I manage. Literally and figuratively I manage.
Guitar is still the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I may lose a lot of playing time, but I have a lot more inspiration now that school's in session. I feel like I'm a songwriting machine. And these are actually..I don't wanna say good, but they're songs people would listen to. I'm really excited about these, and can't wait for an opportunity to play them. I'm gonna play them my way-solo electric. Not all of them are intended for electric guitar. The ones that are, yes. The ones that aren't, I'll borrow an acoustic. I'd love to get a band together. I put an ad on craigslist.com so I'll see how that goes. I actually had my first paying gig today. I'm feeling pretty good about it, too.
You know, come to think of it, I really am a lucky person, in more than one way. Yeah, I do win just about every local contest, raffle, or game. But I'm also lucky on a bigger scale: I know exactly what I want to do and how I'm going to do it. Most kids lie on their beds, staring at the ceiling thinking, "What am I going to do for the rest of my life?" I'm fortunate enough to not do that. I just need to focus on what I want, and getting it. Becoming Bruce Springsteen may not be possible, but everything else is.
Speaking of Bruce, I'm gonna get to meet him again! And this time I'll be able to say more than "MynameisAmyMantisandIplayguitarandmyteacherBobThompsonisbestfriendswithBobLudwig"
Can't wait to see him LIVE!!
I really do try to mimic Bruce to a degree. Why do you think I play a Telecaster? Why do I wear a bandana? Why do I not write overly complex songs? Because I can, and because of him. Also, overly complex songs just don't appeal to me. I prefer stuff everyone can relate to. AKA Bruce Springsteen. The Blue Collar Rocker. My hero.
A lot has happened this week. No going into too much detail, but it has been quite long in a sense. School flew by. Other things didn't. I played the boring version of the National Anthem three times-got paid for one of them. I didn't get a chance to run. And I won't tomorrow, unless I get up fairly early. I'm just looking forward to Monday. Guitar lesson day!
Alright, I'm gonna go play guitar.
