I finally figured out why I suck at my guitar and why I gave up playing in bands, and why i lost faith in my abilities after playing for 9 years! I bought my guitar when I was 13! I have trouble playing it standing up, and i have to stretch my fingers super far, I can't play with ease.
ITS TOO BIG FOR ME!!! I needed a 3/4ths size guitar this wholeeee time.
SO...what now? I'm going to sell my 2 guitars and get money, and buy myself the righT SIZED equipment for my 4'11 body and then, maybe then I'll actually be able to play it comfortable and i can pick up where I left off and advance....9 years of wasting time. FUCK THAT. I wish I could have done research first before I bought it.
The same goes for my old skateboard and my first fixed gear bike....all too big and awkward for me...you can't exactly learnn anything with the wrong sized equipment...I got a fixed gear bike that was my size and it was an AMAZING difference!! I couldnt believe it! It felt great! But then it got stolen from me =(
Gotta step up my game!
Pint size! I can't wait to play a "me" sized guitar, it's going to be so much easier and I bet it'll sound sooo much better.
P.S. I start my new job on monday. I'm going to be working alot.
Chris is going on tour I'm not going to see him for like a month. But its; okay. I'll be busy myself, working, playing my new guitar, and riding my new bike, and maybe saving up for a bmx bike, because I want to start riding! Like I never got a chance to do in high school because I didn't know shit about bikes. I'm taking it up a notch! Wanna try new things. Now I finally can since I don't have an apartment to pay for.I'm definitley going to do research before I buy one to make sur I can get the right size so I don't waste time trying to do tricks on a bike that's all wrong for me and never getting good at anythinggggg.
I love learning new exciting things!
Me and chris are going dirt biking when he comes back hahaha.YES!!
I want to get dirty and have fun =) I feel like I can do anything I put my mind too....jsut as long as I have the right sized equipment...cause lets face it I'm NOT the same size as everyone else. I'm a midget hahaha. Finally I let it sink in.
----------------------
I'm so tired of only being mediocre at a bunch of things instead of being EXCELLENT at one or two things. I'm not getting anywhere. I paint and sew regularly but I gave up on the guitar and it pissed me off....So I'm going to go backwards and advance at the guitar again and maybe start up another band. Larry wants me to join the Baby Sandwiches. I'll get a new road bike so I can get to and from work with ease. I'm thinking about getting a car, so I can move to the west coast, and also going back to school out there to further my art education and ride BMX as a new hobbie to get away, relieve stress, and do something semi-dangerous and exciting because mosh pits can't take the cake with that one. hahah.
TIME TO MAKE ALL THESE USELESS TALENTS HAVE A PURPOSE AGAIN SO MY LIFE CAN HAVE A PURPOSE GODDAMMIT!
