waitingmanTime to retire the Debtor's Prison Userpic then... 'til next time.
As of today, I'm a gentleman of leisure ~ except I'm not that gentle & leisure isn't what it used to be. Today has been by turns domestic & trying to be pro-active & productive scaring up the next career opportunity. And chasing up exactly what I'm owed for mysentence time in DP... in case the next opportunity doesn't knock for a while.
Debtor's Prison didn't let me go yesterday without a few reminders which I'm sure will heal. I've already taken the band-aids off & the fingers appear to be working okay. Good, because I'm playing guitar tonight for the first time in a while... what are all these strings for again??
I've been offered/coerced/shamed/shanghaied into taking one of my old musical jobs back ~ MD for the RokChikz band for at least one upcoming showcase gig in late April/early May, which I've accepted just to see how it feels getting back on the horse again. I had a dream last night about the reformation of my last attempt at a band ~ the late unlamented Hands'N'Feet. My feeling today is that it wasn't a positive dream. Nothing seems to be moving forward musically, either in my subconscious or the real world...
Seen some great gigs this year though... should catalogue them before they fade. Leonard Cohen (twice), Jeff Beck, David Byrne, the SoundWave festival featuring Dillinger Escape Plan, Bloodhound Gang, Billy Talent, Alice In Chains & NIN. Then NIN again... & Alice In Chains again at their 'sideshows'. Coming up ~ The Church & The Who... Hmm. I detect a whiff of 'not moving forward' in my gig attendances too.
Personally there's been a bit of moving on, at least. Said goodbye again to an old friend, seen another relocate to better climes & times & have cast myself into the unknown, but likely brighter, future with a not-quite-as-old but better, special, friend. Life at least feels a little different.
Still hab a bid ob a code dough... bud id's a bid bedder, dags por arsging!
