Thursday

Thursday was band day! I was a bit nervous taking my large amp downtown. Everything went fine. The bass amp is truely gig quality. Everyone is getting better and working together. We need a drummer but for now I set my keyboard on drums and play along that way. I couldn't really be happier with the progess. For only playing a couple times a week we really laugh hard and have fun. July 21st was when we started and now we are already starting to gel. There is a mega hot girl that works there. I made her laugh a couple times. She had a dog exactly like my old dog...it was a puppy. So we had a puppy roaming around our jam session. So I am just trying to enjoy this day. I truely think that when bands are forming that is the most fun, because right now it is just for fun. I will have to upload some videos later on.

Staying out of Dumb situations.

There are lots of examples in real life and on the web where people logically know things are bad to get involved with. I know it is not smart to enjoy company of tatted up wild ladies. I am unable to enforce that boundry with myself. I understand the importance and the difficult task of enforcing boundries with yourself. "I am not going to eat a big lunch because it makes me tired" then when the time comes making that action of not eating a big lunch. I am here to tell you though, if you are somehow able to enforce a boundry to make yourself better, it can bring large benifits. You can lose weight, have more energy, have better relationships, open up time to have better relationships. You can have more time to do what you love to do.


Yesterday I listened to "THE SHOWDOWN" I really put an effort into learning the songs. I am a nerd like that. Tonight is band day. I want to focus on getting together. I think the most important thing is we just get used to each other. Other stuff will work itself out with hours and hours of effort.

Royals suck. I hope they can pull themselves out of this slide. Some of their players who need to be good have been garbage. Butler has really struggled this year (other than the walks) Gordon has been terribad for the last 3 months. Hope they can stay professional and get back on track.

Soccer this weekend. I haven't checked on who Manchester United has. I will check back.

Edit it looks like Sporting KC plays tomorrow at 7:30 Sporting KC currently leads the Eastern Conference. The season has been a struggle, but Zusi and Kamara have really been all class this year. Besler has been solid as well. Soony Saad has provided the burst needed to keep this team from sliding back to mid table.

Wednesday

Today was a very long day. I did my work, I played some guitar, I watched this show I have been meaning to watch. I talked to this chick named Bianca, I went to black dog...I listened to a band called "THE SHOWDOWN" I am trying to learn some songs by "THE SHOWDOWN" because that is what my friend Ryan likes to play.

Tuesday

Tuesday was one of the productive days I have had. It is surprising what I can get done when I am happy, I have energy, and I feel good. I wish every day was like this. I went to work. Did my work. Wrote out a list of things to get done. I got stamps, mailed a letter, tipped a hy-vee worker, put some songs over to my mp3 player. Got out my bass and played for awhile. Felt good enough to call Ryan and played guitar with him for awhile. Ryan is in the top 99% of anyone who plays guitar. He can shred. So we got some stuff done, but basically I just chilled and listened to him shred. I can be stressed out by time I meet up with him, so it is hard to really take in how well he plays guitar. He is fast, he hits the notes, and he bends notes to stay in key. I brought my notebook and took good notes on what we were getting done and I left there and went to 24 hour fitness. I rode the bike for awhile then went to black dog. The shaved headed godess was there. I gave her shit and acted like I didn't know her name. She seemed to get along with my friend Jason. So that was cool. Always cool to have a girl apart of our group that I was able to befriend because I have the balls to go up to anyone anytime and talk to them. I really try to network hard because it's who you know! I left a bit early and I came home and played bass for awhile. My new amp is really fun and I think I played with the amp for about an hour and a half today. My goal is to play with this amp 10,000 hours. I showed some people albert playing guitar...he is a good man!
I also did towels today...I cleaned them with bleach because they had hot sauce all over them.

Monday

Monday started the way every monday starts. Me wondering why I go to work. Atleast I have a list of things I know I have to work hard to keep. #1 is my Jeep. Yes that Rhymed. One good thing is I bought a professional grade amp for my bass and it sounds good with the bass and good with the guitar. It actually sounds really good, but I can't crank it up. I bought it from a guy on craigslist and he seemed to like me. I wish I could have said more good things to this guy that was selling guitar things, his dad had passed away and he was selling all this gear. The Amp is in good shape exept for the felt in the front is alittle bit ragged. I am making sure to enjoy it though. I made it a point to come home and work ona song by the band "THE SHOWDOWN" the song is called "Drinks from me" I made it a point because this damn thing cost me money. I want to get my money's worthout of it. Work went ok. Iam just working hard and trying to stay focused so I can get more chances for more money and more chances to do cool stuff. I am able to listen to mp3's which really help in my enjoyment of my work day.

Royals are off today and Sporting KC layed an egg yesterday which was a bummer. Sporting KC playoffs are coming soon. Their lineup sucked yesterday. No Zusi..no Kamara...biggest bunch of B.S. I ever delt with.
