Okay. Hey! Been sick the last two days. I think. I feel sick! I just bought a thermometer and it’s telling me I am not feverish. Can you be sick without a fever? I’m sick in the sense that I’m ill. By which I mean I’m dope. I used to love getting fevers or the flu as a kid. SURE it’s unpleasant feeling under the weather but I get to skip school! That’s a net positive outcome! Watch daytime TV. Forbidden Zone! People my age aren’t supposed to see this content! What about during the summer. Hmm. I dunno. Anyway. Got a double Guitar Lesson today. Regular lesson followed by make up lesson. This lesson is gonna take forever! Last two nights have been when Weakness and Discomfort really kicks in, too! Hopefully not tonight! THE SHOW MUST GO ON. Well Preparing For The Show Must Go On. Well Guitar Practice Must Go On. You get it. Huh. Been watching the original Star Wars trilogy. They’re okay! Feels like Luke Skywalker loses some spunk over time. He starts off with some attitude on Tattooine! As he learns the force and becomes a Jedi he loses some of his gumption! Kinda seems like he’s making Backwards Progress! Anyway. The Forrest Gumption Of A Nation. What’s happened to us! I don’t like it. Didn’t bother to think too much overnight while feeling sick last night. Too busy feeling shitty! That’s one positive. Just lie in bed thinking about trying to fall back asleep because I felt bad. There was no thought for thinking about anything else!
I bet Yoda and R2D2 would get along. On account of dwarfism. Anyway George Lucas really knocked these names out of the park. So many memorable names. Gimme a main character name that ISN’T amazing. Princess Leia. Kinda only OK. But then again maybe that’s because Lucas intended for her to be a Kind Of Only Okay Character because of misogyny. Anyway. Star Wars is a Space Opera. Does that make Fight Club a Soap Opera. Not sure. Hmm. ANYWAY. Michael what if you said stuff what was good. Entertaining or funny. Maybe relevant. I can’t THINK. I feel SICK. What if I started to think soon. Then maybe I’d stop feeling sick. Good. Great. It’s a problem! What’s on my mind is the Fascism! The government is killing us! The media is enabling it! Powerful people are turning a blind eye! And the small voice I do have, I don’t know what to do with it! Oh okay I get it Good One. Anyway. They want us to be scared. Hey they did it! I’m scared! Maybe they want us to not just be scared But also the opposite, to be indifferent and ignorant, too. Well I’m kinda those things too! Whatever it is, We’re Not Doing Good Enough! Unless you are. Maybe you are! SOME PEOPLE are probably doing good enough! WELL DONE. Anyway. The Force is all around us. Just put my faith in that, right? That’s what Yoda would say. Not sure that’s accurate though. Interesting counterpoint.
Anyway. Kinda seems like The Dark Side is all around us. Maybe It’s Just Me. Anyway I bought two new pairs of pants. And they arrived today! What’s the point of the half a dozen tags and stickers and whatknot that they attach to new pants. Seems like they’re just giving us busy work to deal with. Think of all the better things I could be doing rather than taking off these plastic tags! I could be lying in bed in pain with my mind off for once! Make the most out of this current debilitation. Just LAY. IN. BED. I don’t get it. I dunno. Had a make up guitar lesson with a different teacher on Tuesday and we were jamming together and dude really emphasized what I was doing was FYRE. Not sure he intended it as Fyre or Fire but either way he seemed genuine in his praise. I didn’t think what I was doing was all that good. Seems like he mighta been blowing some smoke! WHERE TEHRE’S SMOKE THERE’S FIRE THOUGH so either way it’s accurate. Anyway. If Star Wars is a Space Opera that means it has ads for Space during the commercials. That’s my opinion. I wouldn’t mind going into space these days. In the past Astronauting seemed dumb and pointless but NOW I get it. Get me outta here. Anyway. You can’t survive for long times in space. Not yet. You can only visit space. Is that accurate. I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to raise a family in The International Space Station though for example. People WORK there.
Okay. Maybe being sick and playing guitar will compliment each other. 2+2=4. I’ll excel at Guitar Lesson Practice. I won’t feel good but you can’t argue with the results! What are some good songs about Feeling Sick. Hmm. I dunno. Not sure I know too many songs. Only about 2 or 3 dozen when it’s all said and done! NOT A HUGE MUSIC BUFF. I’ve gotten in the habit of playing the guitar while in the lobby waiting for my lessons. I saw other people do it before and I figured I could do that too! I’m always 10-30 minutes early because Why Not. So I just get there early and play guitar by myself. People seem to probably not enjoy it but nobody says a thing! FREE CONCERT FOR THEM. I like what I play! Maybe when they go to sleep at night they’ll think back to what they heard earlier and go YA KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY I KINDA LIKED THAT. That’s good. Should probably wear a mask to Guitar Lesson. As a kindness precaution. Hmm. I don’t THINK I have covid. But then again I don’t THINK at all. I TOLD YOU that’s what makes this illness so delightful! Anyway. I’m Chevy Chase And You’re Not. Catchphrase kinda lost all it’s power once we figured We Were Okay With That! YEAH. WE KNOW WE’RE NOT. COMPLETELY COOL WITH THAT. Anyway. I’m Not Chevy Chase And You Might Be. That’s WHAT I SAY.
Alright. I guess. There’s other Chevy Chases out there. Even Chevy Chase himself must say I’m Chevy Chase and You Might Be. Surely there’s more than one! But I guess Chevy Chase just doesn’t care about the other people named Chevy Chase out there in the world! Chevy Chase Erasure. WOW WHAT AN ASSHOLE. Anyway. My show is in two days. Good odds I’m Over My Illness by then! Got a practice session with my Clashmates tomorrow night. We’ll see how sick I am then! I DUNNO. I have no choice but to show up for the show! This is it! Been working on this since September 2025! Without me 9 out of 14 songs WOULDN’T MAKE SENSE. What else is up. I had one or two drinks of alcohol before Summer’s Show. Classmate had a bottle of something! I forget what! I partook a little bit! I think it didn’t hurt and maybe helped. Not sure if I should do it again if he offers again. Maybe I’m a Sober Songster this time around. Although in general I do like to drink! HMM. If I’m still SICK I probably shouldn’t drink. Feeling Ill + Drinking = Multiplier of Badness For Guitar Playing! Alright then. I don’t like it. What. Mostly everything. You know. That sort of stuff. Alright! See ya later.
