It's not who you are, it's who you know
I played a show tonight and it was kinda shitty. Some of my friends came out to see me, so that was cool. I don't get friends coming to shows a whole lot, and when they tell me they enjoy my set and I can tell they mean it, it's really great. There are a lot of people I know who are far less than supportive of me, and it feels really good to know that some of the people I'm close to actually respect and enjoy my little musical hobby.
I was driving home from the show tired and a little sweaty still, with the windows down and the new Westbound Train album playing really loud. I was thinking about how this CD quite possibly beats out the Slackers, ASOB, BTMI for the best album of the year so far when it dawned on me that, if I wanted to, I could call up the singer. As I got to the last track I was just blown away by the layering and the production on it when I realized that I recorded with the same producer. I've been extremely fortunate just in the past few months and so many great friends and acquaintences have just landed in my lap. I feel as though I don't even deserve to know the people I know. Somebody who knows Tim Armstrong called me a friend. That's pretty huge in my world.
I just wonder if I should be exploiting all of this and just going for it full steam. I'm still extremely hesitant to consider dropping everything and chase the dream of being a full-time musician, but yet a more abitious band could possibly be already on their way. I'm anxious about the future and I wish I could just go five years down the road and see where I'm at, so I can decide now what I should do with my life.
