Hiatus

As cool of a band name as that may be, it's not one I'm using(currently). I've just been severely lacking in my practice and playing. :/ I've been pretty regular with my Friday night jam sessions. Although I did miss last week for show, and tonight my cousins band is playing, so I'm skipping out on jam night to go support him. :) It's always good reasons when I skip jam night, and I still love doing it every week. I haven't been doing much of any practicing at home. I've shifted a bit of my focus to working out as of late, and to be perfectly honest when I get home, I really don't want to do anything. I usually end up playing some pogo games or something on the computer until I fall asleep. It's not that I'm not interested in music, or anything, I just don't like being home. I can be in a good mood leaving work, or my sisters house, and I'm irritated and mopey by the time I get home. I feel like all I do is complain, but I really hate that apartment building, and it's getting worse. It really just puts me in a miserable mood, and then I don't want to do anything.

I suppose it might help if I brought my bass amp back home, so at least if I do want to play I can hear it. When I pick up the guitar I play the same chords over again, because it's what I know. I'm horrible at self motivation and teaching myself, but I'm too broke to afford lessons.

Bahhh.. I'm done complaining for today.

I've been listening to Tom Waits a whole lot lately. He's got some really pretty songs. Every time I listen to his stuff and I try and sing along, it makes me wish I had some real talent with writing, playing, and singing...
