The weekend was great. I got to play a lil show thingy with my guitar and trumpet in hand and my brother accompanying me on the side. It was incredible. The music just flows through our bones haha. I bought a euphonium so the happy tunes will go on. Just a weekend with the brothers...nothing quite clears the mind like that does.
However, in spite of this fun, my uncle passed away and he was around 50 years old. He died of pancreatic cancer. He didnt even know he had it some say. Now there is a power struggle admist his family for whatever possesions he might own. Some people are just sick, scraping for any way to get theirs and I'm ashamed to claim relation to them. For some reason it's gotten to me real bad. I didnt know him that well, and he lived quite the shady life. But his loneliness is what gets me. I cant imagine what it must have been like wasting away from cancer and having no one to care for you, or to just tell you that they care about you before you die.
He was alone.
It raises many questions in my head, which is usually not a good thing, because it causes my social life to take a fall as i try to sort things out amongst my brain cells.
Despite this, I am pumped about making music now. I'm signed up for a show in May and i hope i can come up with some new stuff to play there. Maybe shanna too :)
Hope things are going well for others. There's a revolution of love :) look around you'll start to see it. Join in, we've got our whole lives to save.
