Shit happens
For the past few weeks with the band, it's sort of been an uphill struggle. We just lost a guitarist and STILL went on to play the second round of the Emergenza Festival. I've had a certain sense of apathy toward it all.. the band, competition.. you name it. So I went into this with no high expectations.. an optimism level of a bit below zero.. I told everyone we'd lose, but I still wanted to play a kick ass show.
In my opinion.. and the opinion of all the people who came up to us after the show.. we did play a good show.. but I don't think we will be proceeding to the next round.. we played @ 10pm, the competition ends at 12:30.. I didn't really care to stay and find out, obviously.
Looking into the future with my band.. I'm not too sure of anything anymore... I lose someone in the band important to me as a musician and a friend.. it's hard to look to the future and see a light that I don't believe exists...
Anyways.. I'm on 2 hours of sleep.. Just got home, and I'm done bitching.
I know some of you will know where I'm coming from, and you guys are cool.. as to the rest of you who have no idea how it feels...
Imagine planning to have a child.
After a long time of planning and waiting, your baby arrives.
a year and a half later, your baby dies.
Take that one home, chew on it.. it's delicious.
