on thursday I went to a guitar shop to purchase a new tube for a preamp I have, and I spent an extra $30 on a SHITTY ACOUSTIC. It's awesome. I went to a bar and looked up an open mic night and went to this place called "artland", (clever name!) and played like three sets of five songs in between like two other guitar/singers and three poets. I was REALLY nervous at first but they fucking loved it. When that got out at 12 I went around the corner to the "Aligator Lounge" for karaoke and free pizza. I sang mandy moore's candy with as much heart and soul as my drunk ass could muster up, and I tore the shit out of that fucking track! I didn't want to go home to my crazy roomate so I made a comment about being homeless until the 1st and begged on stage for someone to let me come over and take a shower, but I had no takers.
On the weekend I was shoveling in the backyard looking for treasure and out of the ground like a 1/4 heart container came my frozen cellphone, dropped last week. and it still works. I can't believe I went a whole week without a cellphone it was complete hell. This weekend I did an emergency recording of the band "State Hospital" and it turned out ok. It's out of tune but hey that's not my fault. Is it? I was supposed to recording the band "Hiding Desire" on saturday but their drummer made up some story about being grounded and went to the bowling alley instead. I could've made $50 - $60 that day but instead I just sat around waiting. I went out to get an oil change, but the two places I went to were backed up. Frustrated, I purchased two new windsheild wipers and added a quart of oil to my car, which is 2 weeks behind it's last scheduled oil change. I printed out a gizmotron flyer and made a few photocopies at staples, where I saw Bill Ray. He told me he's getting one of those mini-macs in the mail. I got color copies and then walked out. I never pay for copies at this store and I've never been asked about it. No one notices or no one cares; I can't tell nor do I even care.
This weekend someone told me she loves me. It has been years since a girl starts telling me she loves me. I love her too but it's quite a shame her personality will drastically change in about two years. Hopefully I'll still be around to say "I told you so" - my favorite game!
here is a humorous but interesting article about rating lyrics: http://www.warr.org/lyrics.html
I am really productive when I have something that has to be done soon but i'm procrastinating. In order for me to succeed there must always be a victim?
If anyone sees Alexia, buy her some cookie dough for me. It's her favorite snack and this month is her birthday.
