The Pics

I thought I'd try and put some pics up. This is a couple I've taken of some interesting things around my area. I'm in the one holding my grandson, I had just got back in town after playing the night before, not the most flattering image of myself. I'll try and find more to keep my page a little more interesting

Some pics.

The afternoon

I do get rather maudlin sometimes! We live in a very active age where I can be thankful for so much, yet I still have to to lament over things that a lot of times you really don't have much control over. So as a resolution I shall be happy with what I have, endeavor to make my dreams a reality and qutie whining so much when life throws a turd my way. And quit smoking these lousy cigarettes. I shall have more later.

Maybe I shoudn't

Well maybe I shouldn't, but maybe I did. I'm still trembling, for some reason I decided to look up the ex. For all that have one and have dealt with it, God Bless You. Haven't sent or contacted her in over a year. Guess it's just that time....And so it goes. Living with a beautiful woman, but not in love with her.Some irony there. The Who back on tour this year, front row this time around.

Decisions

I guess most of the bloggers are well above this, well unfortunately I am not. Decisions....Walk away from the drug you used to love. Walk away when it is within grasp. I walked away and thus I will become the stronger.See a decimated marriage, see the hurt and pain that goes along with it. Few have suffered through a truly near death breakup and those that do are few and far between. This isn't meant as a low point- a pheonix from the the ashes will always rise . If there is only one that understands this and maybe it's only me, well that's enough, that's all anyone can ever ask for.Love to all that would ever read this . Strength to all that ever need to falter.

Post Christmas

The post Christmas day. Sometimes even still it seems like a letdown, all the hoopla for running ragged for 1 day to see everyone. Don't get me wrong love to see everyone but I think it will soon be time to have everyone visit me! Lot of stuff happening-The Who saying there gonna do it again,God love 'em, they (Pete and Roger) still have more energy than most of the local shithole bands you see, I still am a firm believer in a good windmill and a few good jumps in a night.
Saw the girls and Kamyn on Xmas eve, and the rest of the families yesterday. Love them all. The songs I'm working on are slowly coming around(the audition songs),luckily I still have tonight and an hour or two tomorrow(Ha Ha) to try and get them. Not the easiest songs.... The original band is keeping in contact, lot's of interesting things there, have to see where it may go. It might be time to finally record some of these ideas after these years. Well, back to work tomorrow, interesting evening Fri. with Wes and Kevin. Should go practice for a while and then call it a night. NIGHT!

Merry Christmas

Well Merry Christmas,not happy holidays or kwanza or hanukkah,Merry Christmas. We live in such a stifled world where as much as free thinkinking and speech go hand and hand ---LOOK AROUND-- the guys at work saying Dona van McNabb being blasted by the NAACP for not getting out of his pocket-it's FOOTBALL,maybe he's tired of getting his ass kicked! Love the music being presented by Rachel Fuller and Pete Townshend-a diamond in a rough, like Death CAb for Cutie too, have to listen more. Maybe I'm boring by blogger standards but I don't even know what that would mean.Maybe I'm not! This is me and anyone who hops aboard as I grow back into the band scene will certainly have a wild ride.Love to all the bloggers(except that one jackass)This is my life and I enjoy sharing with you all.MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

3:00 A.M.

Almost 3:00 A.M. just getting home. Helped Bill's band out by running sound.Not a bad band but a few tweaks would be in order. A little silence right now, a little calm. Very nice to have a few minutes with no cell phone ringing,no work to go to, no huge commitment. Today I said I was going to Iggy's band so I guess that's on the agenda. It was nice to get out and begin to re-experience the band scene, as much as a lump as I become I know even now that is temporary also. Long Live Rock, The Christmas special is on today too!

Time

Time,what a precious commodity. 2 years ago, a day would stretch forever waiting to see if the now- ex would call and give me the time of day. Well she didn't,but she was nice enough to send my divorce papers so I would get them on Christmas Eve,from herself' not even a lawyer. Now is there enough time to get a full days worth of everything done? Met with Iggy, not sure where that project is or could go, but I'll tell you it's better than playing in either of the other two bands that have Mustang Sally on there setlist. Must run out to the store yet for tape and paper so I can start to wrap a couple gifts, might as well let Christmas past lay where it should and live for Christmas present and truly live for a new and wonderful Christmas future.

Cookies

Ha,well it's 1:00 and my friend Jenny and her mom and sister are baking cookies. It's a nice, almost becoming a forgotten part of this season, getting together with friends and family and enjoying each others company. I've been looking at a lot of other blogger sites and will have to update mine a little bit. Have to get back to these bands I've been starting to talk to,thought a lot about the commitment involved with getting back into a working situation. It's a lot of work and after these few months off I think I'm becoming lazy. Maybe not lazy, just not ready for the whole shebang of bullshit that often goes along with the scene. I guess I have some options since I'm not the one calling the shots. I do know as soon as I find the right group again it will definitely get me to the next plateau of experience I've been seeking. It's hard to make the right decisions all the time and I'll just see where this is going.

How about that

Well last night at my keyboard/guitar lesson Jim and I really found some interesting things to explore musically. It's quite a rush when I can show my teacher something that he hasn't seen. Got into a bit of a fight with Kara(my friends daughter that I live with) about the kitty that lives around here. I don't want the 2 kitties living here getting something from him until we can take him to a vet but she just yells. Seeing that Rachel Fuller actually responded to my blog is so cool too. Hopefully my "spiritual" wish list to find the proper people in my life is coming together, I'm pursuing a couple bands and I think I'm gonna find the right one again.I don't know, so much that I'm not happy about though,So much that I am thankful for also. I guess it's just keep cool and plow ahead, don't repeat history!
