I am getting to like this blog thing. It is somewhere I can go and sort of drift away from all this paper stuff and bookwork I really should be doing, but which I hate doing. I like comming here and exploring.....exploring not only me, but you guys too. I like reading and writing blogs the best I think, except getting mail is good too.
Went to the jam last night....I swore I would not be out until 3:30 this week like last week. I think I did pretty good. I stopped here at the shop to drop off my guitar and stuff, and had parked in the quiet alley in the back....wind was blowin' pretty good, but there was no traffic or worries about parking in the alley that late at night....until....my cell phone rang, and it was the police asking me if everything was ok, and telling me to move my truck. So I left here and got home at 3:24.....pretty good I think....much better than last week.
Got up at 7 with my son, fixed him breakfast, and got him off to school, and then treated myself to breakfast at one of the local cafes I am known to frequent once in a while. And now I am back here again, getting ready to go practice.
I used to go out to breakfast way too much. I have cut way back to maybe once a week, as I was not doing myself any favors. I think I picked up that bad habit when I was out on the road for 12 weeks, at a time.(sometimes more, sometimes less)... It was easy, and probably really bad for me. I never ate, or hardly never ate I should say, at the fast food places, but at the truckstops....they were usually the best. I did like to look for small Mom & Pop places too...sometimes they could be really good with real friendly folks.....After spending two weeks in some small town somewhere, they became good friends, and I always looked forward to returning the next time.
So lets see....I am a bit reserved today....not because I am tired or anything, but just feeling a bit lonesome I guess. It is such a paradox or what ever you call it. I was sitting waiting for my omelet this morning, kinda staring out the little window at my booth, and watching the dust and the few broken up leaves that are left, blowing around. And I was thinking about being alone.....Sometimes, I can't imagine being any other way. I wondered as I sat there, if it had been too long now. Am I too set in my ways? Can I make room in my selfish little life for someone else besides my children? And then I think....Oh man....if you could only find the right girl....all of those worries would go away. First I am sitting there longing to talk to someone, and then I see a couple having a quiet angry discussion across the dining room, and I think.. I remember that. And that really scares me. I am NOT a confrontational kinda guy. I am happiest when my world is a peaceful place, even if everything isn't just right. I tend to be thankful for the big picture, and not sweat the details. That used to drive my ex crazy. She picked at every little thing, and it would ruin her day....and mine.
But enough of that. I am not gonna sit here and talk about her, nor blame her for everything. I was a participant as well. But I guess what I am trying to say is, the last 7-8 years has been free ....and I mean free...of any kind of hard negative thoughtless behavior....but rather full of soft light and peace. And music. :)
My home is quiet most of the time, although Jake (my 12 year old son) is learning the bass guitar, and he can get it going pretty good. But he is very thoughtful I think because he usually jams with his buddy when i am not home. This friend of his comes over at least once a week, and brings his guitar, and they jam until the wee hours. I like it...I like to listen to them make up stuff.
I have a four bedroom home and it is just me and Jake....and our little dog Ki Ki.....She adores Jacob and he returns the love. They are great buddies. She comes to work with me every day while he is in school, and she gets very excited when it is time to go home. I just tell her..." Lets go see Jacob" and she goes nuts.
Ok...enough. But there is some more of Both Sides Now....
Cheers!
Make it a good day! You can do it. It's your day, and you won't get a chance to do it again. It will be over, and you will have to try again tomorrow. So why not just start now. I did....I feel better writing this all down...hope you feel better reading it.
And by the way....feedback is greatly appreciated. Don't be shy or hold back....I love hearing from you guys....especially the " Dynamic Duo" ...you guys rock!
Peace....Love...Harmony....
