School has been kicking my ass. I tell ya hwat (not misspelled), I wish that I was better at this. My house is trashed. My bikes need some love. Songs are half written. I haven't cooked anything but maintenance meals for 2 months.
I can't wait until December 12th.
There have been a few good parts to the last few months:
-Got a Townes Van Zandt reissue of his self titled album, walked to the Blue Moon Diner, had beer, heard the A side of the record, then Jim Waive played and acoustic set.
-Got a still sealed copy of Lookout records PUNK USA album (Screeching Weasel, Jawbreaker, Vindictives) and rocked it out.
-New winter rain gear.
-MASS SABBATH, the Worlds Largest Black Sabbath Tribute Band, rocked the IX building here in Charlottesville to the benefit of the Charlottesville Derby Dames. I was Ozzy.
-Acquired a 'harness' or whatever you call it to play harmonica and guitar at the same time. Man, is that fun! I'm no harp player, but it makes up for not having other musicians around.
-Got my picture in the paper for drinking beer. While at the Blue Mountain Brewery with a good friend, a photographer was there who snapped a few shots of us with our beer samplers. My tongue is hanging out of my mouth like I am concentrating really hard.
-My sister graduated the nursing program in Houston and is now employed. Woohoo!!
-Got my ass whooped at a cyclocross race at the IX building.
There have been other good moments, but I can't really remember what I did yesterday due to the fast pace of the nursing program. Last week is 3 wks ago in nursing student years.
I will be going home to Htown in a month or so. Gonna get some spring rolls and some Saint Arnold's beer. And sleep on the couch at whoever's house.
Well, that's it for now. Oh, I didnt win, or even make the final, in the songwriting contest I mentioned earlier. I still like the song, though. "Build Your Own 6 Pack''. How could that not win?
