You know what sucks?
Me right now. I picked up my bass guitar and hooked it into an amp for the first time since my last time on stage with the old band(over a year now...). Boy, my fingers hurt and I can barely fumble my way through some easy red hot chili peppers and metallica songs...for some reason I can still play a few primus tunes but I think that is out of sheer hate for les claypool. I feel feeble and as if a part of me I really liked has atrophied away and is trying to eat my soul. I really feel as if I have some how failed in the cosmological plan I had for myself where I was to be semi-well to do musically and be performing 3-4 times a week for money to get by on. In true to form universe operating procedure I have all the things I wanted when I was a musician full time that were not music related: One girl, One physical hobby, a better grasp on things financially and friends who don't owe me more than 1,000 dollars. I have a feeling that I may have to just cut back on a lot of the things I'm doing when I'm done with my obligations as a co-ordinator of OWBN and as a barionial rapier champion and really consider music again. I miss it. Now, I'm not going to abandon things like practice(even though I have lately) and gaming entirely I will just be more exhausted like I used to be. I sort of miss my no free time alloted schedule to, it gave me less to worry about.
The shedule I'd like to be able to achieve.
Mon: 7am-3:30pm work 4pm-5pm checking mail, shower, drive to band practice. 5:30pm-11pm practice.
Tues: 7am-3:30pm work 4pm-9pm gaming night
wed: 7am-3:30pm work 4pm-6pm cleaning up self and small downtime for things like WoW and e-mail 7pm-done SCA practice somewhere
thurs: 7am-3:30 work 4pm-5pm cleaning/e-mail 6pm-11pm practice
fri: 7am-3:30 work 4pm-7:30pm downtime or driving depending 7:30-whenthehellever saturday am Either a game night or performance maybe both.
Sat: either SCA event or girlthing time. with possible performance some saturday nights.
Sun: shun the world and play wow and do laundry.
that would work for me on a rinse, wash repeat schedule.
I kind of miss being that level of busy. That was pretty much my schedule except tues and thurs were school nights and I was only occasionally attending SCA practice instead of band practice. Back then I was miserable and broke for the most part.
oh well. That's all I got and my apologies to that guy I said I would write something angry for. Sorry, I'm in a funk man. I can only be forced angry at certain times I guess.
