Ahh

soma.fm on a Saturday morning--I like the Digitalis station.

I know...I never call, I never write...

Holy shit, it's February and I haven't posted since last August? I was pretty caught up in following the election, obsessively. That was awesome, to quote Chris Farley. Most of my family supported him, and my dad and I scored tickets to the inauguration (thanks to my cousin who works for a congressman). Good tickets too, right up front in the Orange section, although we didn't have a direct view of the stage. We were right in front of a big screen though, and I was surprised I could send texts and pics. So that was cool, although it would have been better if the Chief Justice could remember the oath of office, or simply read it.
We left my brother's house at seven a.m., about 20 blocks from the Capitol, but didn't get in to our section until 11 a.m.--what a fucking ordeal. We got stuck in several crowds on the way that were so thick I wasn't sure we'd make it through. Wow. I'd do it again too.

In other news, my new job is great(it's good to be where the action is, and have weekends off! Screw retail!), I'm planning on moving in to my own place again this spring, and looking around for new gear--mainly a digital recorder. I think I like the tascam with the built in cd burner, but either way I need to get my music posted here and finally do what I started this thing for.

Also trying to get things updated and deleting or replacing dead links. I updated the link for my amigo Bruno, but I'll have to figure out if any other buds have new links that they want posted here. I hope everyone is still active somewhere, although I know there are other priorities, most of you have real lives, ha.

I was just thinking, I haven't written much new music lately, for the past couple of years really. I think part of it is I let other things distract me, I'm living with family and I'm also really self conscious when I'm just jamming or writing--I definitely did more when I lived alone--and I also haven't listened to much new music for inspiration. I haven't delved into any other forms of art that would inspire me either, so I can't really blame it on anything but myself. I'm starting to feel more like I did in my late 20s and early 30s again, so hopefully I can finish what I've wanted to do for ten years now--before I turn 40. I know it's just a number, but it just seems much harder to be new or relevant or whatever after you get to be a certain age. Turning 30 didn't bother me nearly as much, but now I'm starting to think about missed opportunities, and I'm sick of regrets. We'll see how it all turns out, but I tend to work better with deadlines, real and imagined.
