I LEARNED A BUNCH OF SONGS I KNEW THEY'D ALL LIKE AND PRACTICED UNTIL I HAD FREAKIN’ BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS AND SUPRESSED MY CRUSHING PERFORMANCE ANXIETY AND NOT ONE OF THE DORKS WHO I WENT CAMPING WITH THIS PAST WEEKEND GAVE A DAMN!!!1!11! I was really looking forward to hanging out by the campfire and playing some tunes, really, the first time I've felt confident enough to play for others, and then, nothin'.

mrmoonpie -- I have felt your pain many times. Try an open mic, they're way more welcoming.

SON JUST CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE GODDAMN DOG WENT ON ANOTHER RAMPAGE AND THIS TIME COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE COUCH AND A BUNCH OF MY SON'S CLOTHES. WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS DOG? WHY DOES HE DO THIS? I CAN'T STAND IT. NOW I DON'T HAVE A COUCH - AGAIN. A FRIEND SAID SHE'D LOAN ME A CRATE. I GUESS HE GOES INTO A CRATE FOR 9 HOURS A DAY. THERE'S NO ALTERNATIVE AT THIS POINT.HE CAN'T BE LEFT UNATTENDED AT HOME EVEN THOUGH HE GETS A 40 MINUTE RUN EVERY MORNING AND HAS A DOGGIE DOOR TO A BIG YARD AND ANOTHER DOG THERE AND EVERYTHING HE COULD EVER WANT, REALLY. THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE.

$86,549.55?!

86,549.55 FUCKING DOLLARS? HOW COME YOU GET TO SPEND $86,549.55 ON THE FURNISHINGS IN YOUR MASTER BEDROOM AND A GAME ROOM, AND I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO GO TO THE DENTIST?!

SO. NOT. FAIR.

YOU JUST SPENT ON FABRICS AND A CHAISE LOUNGE WHAT MY FUTURE CHILD WILL SPEND ON COLLEGE.

I feel so fucking helpless in this little duplex like a bungalow cut in half and pieces stacked atop each other with four cats hiding upstairs from the two dogs living downstairs whom I was only supposed to be fostering for a week and that was 9 MONTHS AGO and I mop the basement every day 'cuz when I'm not around that's where they "go" and NO ONE IS GOING TO GIVE THEM THE CARING, LOVING HOME WITH A FENCED-IN YARD AND DOGGY DOOR that they need and I take them to the dog park for at least an hour a day 'cuz that's the only time they get to run 'cuz I have practically NO yard AND GODDAMMIT IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY I'M UTTERLY HELPLESS AND I NEED TO BUY A REAL HOUSE AND KEEP THE DOGS but I'm just starting over at anew job 'cuz the last one destroyed my lungs and...

I JUST FEEL SO GODDAMMED HELPLESS. I CAN'T GET AHEAD. I CANT DO ANYTHING TO HELP MY DOGS OR MY CATS OR MY OL' MOM OR EVEN MYSELF, I CAN'T GET MY HEAD TOGETHER AND OUT OF THE ANXIETY TO GET MY ART PORTFOLIO TOGETHER AND MAYBE DO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT CHANGE MY LIFE.

IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY.

THE MODERN WORLD SUCKS. WE'RE LAB MONKEYS IN CAGES WONDERING WHICH ELECTRODE (BRAIN? HEART? GENITALS?!) IS GOING TO SHOCK US NEXT.

Peter Gabriel was so right with Shock the Monkey.

Just Goddamm the whole human world.

THERE ARE TINY, MICROSCOPIC BEIGE ANTS IN MY OFFICE THAT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET RID OF. THEY BITE AND SWARM AROUND ANY LIQUID THAT IS LEFT FROM A WATER GLASS, ETC.

posted by LoriFLA 21 August | 15:58

Yeah, spiderskull, I was wondering if that officially makes me a musician? One cool thing did happen, at least--someone was bringing out a boom box, and a guy said we didn't need that, since I had my guitar. That really made me feel good. So I guess I overstated my case--at least one person appreciated it. Bah.

THEY JUST POSTPONED THE DECISION ON MY MOM'S SURGERY FOR ANOTHER DAMN WEEK, AND IF THEY SCHEDULE IT AT ALL IT'LL PROBABLY BE IN OCTOBER. I'M ANGRY FOR HER -- SHE'S SO TIRED OF WAITING AND JUST WANTS IT ALL OVER WITH, AND NOW SHE HAS A COUPLE MORE MONTHS TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

JUST DO SOMETHING, PEOPLE! GAH!

(BUT AFTER HER HEART CATH TODAY, THEY FOUND THAT HER ARTERIES AREN'T BLOCKED, WHICH MEANS THAT IF THEY OPEN HER UP AT LEAST THEY WON'T HAVE TO DO A BYPASS TOO. BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO GODDAMN MUCH FOR THE REST OF US.)

I HAVE THREE DATES THIS WEEK WITH THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE, AND I FEEL VAGUELY GUILTY ABOUT IT.

posted by mudpuppie 21 August | 16:02

I WANT INFORMATION ABOUT MUDPUPPIE'S DATES!

ALSO, I AM HAVING A VERY NICE RELAXING HAPPY DAY, SO I AM SENDING EACH OF YOU GOOD HAPPY FUN VIBES!!! OH YES I AM!!!!!!

i wish we were all by the water with a fire without bugs in the cool air with comfy bungalows to retire to and more than we needed of every supply so we didn't have to worry about anything running short.
i wish an excess of fluffy pillows and clean grass and soft sand and worn rocks and happy animals and a blessed feeling of harmony.

i'd also like to hang out with your auntie.

MY GRAND DISAPPOINTMENT IN HUMANITY LOOMS LARGE IN THIS MOMENT'S VISION.
BUT I HAVE FREE LONG DISTANCE AND NO REASON I KNOW OF THAT KEEPS ME FROM BEING UP LATE TONIGHT.
MAIL ME YOUR NUMBER AND I JUST MIGHT CALL.
HEH.
None of that was shouted, but what the hey.

mrmoonpie - I enjoy a musical life that is an embarrassment of riches. I play guitar five nights a week, without fail.

I think you should come and stay with me for a bit: it's paradise.

posted by chuckdarwin 21 August | 19:05

TPS, I've been waiting for awhile to find some common ground with you (since I got the feeling that we don't share much of it).

This is it: no one at my day job pays heed to what I say, and it really gets on my tits.

Such is the life of an IT man.

HOW DID YOU GET A BRUISE ON YOUR ARSEBONE?

I TOOK TWO WEEKS LEAVE FROM WORK TO DO SOME STUFF ON THE HOUSE AND BOOKED AN EXCAVATOR AND EVERYTHING AND IT HAS BEEN PISSING DOWN RAIN SINCE THE DAY AFTER I FINISHED WORK! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, EITHER!

posted by dg 21 August | 21:36

I GOT SO PISSED OFF AT SOME BRAIN DONOR AT WORK THAT I HAD TO BUM A CIGARETTE (SHOCK! HORROR!) FROM A COW-ORKER AND SMOKE IT WHILE FURIOUSLY PACING AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. GODDAMMIT, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL ADULTS NOT TO TOUCH THE OIL PAINTINGS! AND WHEN I DO, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO IT FIVE FUCKING TIMES, ONLY TO BE MET WITH THE RESPONSE "IT'S OK, I'M AN ARTIST". SORRY, PAL, BUT A FUCKING ARTIST WOULD KNOW BETTER. YOU'RE JUST A FUCKWIT BLOWHARD WHO DOESN'T LISTEN, AND A LUCKY ONE AT THAT - HAD YOU DAMAGED THE PAINTING, YOU'D BE OUT SOME SERIOUS COIN.

NOW MY MOUTH TASTES LIKE A MENTHOL 100. BLEAH.
