Why I Can't Wait to Get Back to Playing Shows

I'm trying to get as many hours as possible at work. There's a little (okay, a BIG) fine due. (Blogged aaalll about it yesterday. Hint: cops.) The ticket I'm not worried about at all. Today my paycheck is waiting at hy-vee, plus I have money left over from saving for my new guitar. (Bye-bye, so long, it's been nice.) Hence the extra hours - NEED money. There's never enough. I don't love money, but I want however much it takes to get what I want. (Shallow comment of the day.)

Raking in the dough is like fishing to me, because I can't fish. And I'm trying to. Okay, fishing is probably harder than sacking groceries, but still, tough times. I'm really tired of people not being able to communicate. The Uprooting has not had one practice yet. Certain people have cell phones that shouldn't. I said something like, "Give that cell phone to someone who will answer it. There are starving kids in Africa." Not always in my right mind when I say things.

This is really out-there in general. This whole post. I'm not sure what I'm getting at. Just felt like writing something. Kind of in a poetic mood. But I have a tough time sharing poems unless they're PERFECT, and that moment doesn't come for a while. I rarely finish things. Regardless, I wanted to type up something here today. Just a little time to say that I'm ready to get moving with this new project (The Uprooting). Once I get my new gear, I can comfortably write and record full songs, as opposed to random ideas and riffs. I need to start compiling some of the things I come up with.

I miss the small shows and the people. It was basically jamming with friends...but on a stage, in front of people, that cared. Well, some didn't care. Regardless it was always a nice release. On one hand, I wish that Grave Awakening had stayed together. On the other hand, I realize that we were meant to break up, and I really just need to start something big with this new group of musicians. Funny, because it's basically three of the same people and one outsider. Just need new gear, times for everyone to get together at once, and a place that will let us practice. Sounds pretty simple, right? Was I being sarcastic just now? I have no idea. I'm so tired. I'm not a big fan of this whole thing. Oh well, I wanted to write, so I wrote.

BLAHHH.....(just vomited on my keyboard. Thanks for reading what I threw up.)

Can't Wait. To Play. More Shows.
