Makes sense. How’s everyone doing? BAD NEWS I was reading through entries from a month or so ago and at one point I used the word palindrome when I meant anagram. Other than that everything was perfect! Anyway I got some new songs for School Of Rock. It’s too much work for you to read the 3-4 songs I got assigned. It’s be too boring. I’m making an executive decision as Website Guy to just skip ahead to the next topic! I dunno I already brought it up. Might as well stick with it. Also Coincidently that’s my parents feeling about dealing with me as an adult child. Anyway ENTER SANDMAN by the Metallicas. IRONIC by Arsenic Morrissey. ALIVE by Pearley Jam! I was also assigned bass guitar for OTHERSIDE by Chille Peepers but my Bass is broken so I probably just will politely decline that. Anyway I was following the late stages of the World Series OF Poker Main Event going on last night. WHAT IS IT That makes us root for established professional players over amateur players. Pretty sure that’s a universal position. Poker fans uniformly line up behind and root for Players They Know And Recognize As Good over Randoms. At least while watching it from AFAR. If I was sitting there at the same table myself I wouldn’t root for them. I’d root for myself! I’d like to think so at least!
Maybe that’s why they’re successful players. Got people rooting for them all over the place. That kinda karma pays off pokerwise. Hmm. So if I can get people rooting for me I can be a good poker player? Sure. It’s tough, though! I don’t think I can do that! Probably got more people rooting against me as my default state! That’s what some pros seem to be after too. Being a huge jerk. Phill Heilmuth for example. Maybe going in that direction works too somehow as well. The point is you’re a poker player try to be some kinda persona Have Some Fun With It! Have a nick name why don’t you! Hmm. How come I never thought of a poker name for myself. Cause it’s dumb. Yeah but traditionally I’ve been dumb on and off in my life. Seems like in high school I should have come up with a pokername. I had a pretty good online username. Crymeariver0. Pretty good online poker handle but it doesn’t work in person or on TV or whatknot. Anyway. I’d play online poker TODAY if it was easily available in New York and I didn’t have to run it by my parents who were always against it. Also maybe not TODAY. Today I’m busy. Maybe later on in the week. Ya know what this week isn’t good for me. ACTUALLY current lifestyle in general doesn’t leave much room for Online Poker. Maybe in another lifetime!
Great. Earlier in life I had time for Online Poker. Now I’m busy with… stuff! What if Online Poker is the most plausible way for me to make a living. I guess we’ll never find out! Busy doing other stuff that are longshots! Like writing or music. At least I’m contributing to society with Other Stuff. With Poker I’m really only helping myself. Yeah but it’s fun. It’s a game! Never gets old. As long as we play it we never get old! It reminds me of youth. It is the fountain of Youth! It reminds me of Fountains of Wayne. Which I listened to in my youth! Anyway. I’m not sure if my bass guitar is broken or if it’s just the strings that’s the problem. It’s the same thing that happens to a lot of my guitars. I believe somehow they’re getting WARPED. I dunno what I’m doing wrong other than not keeping them safe in their case and instead just leaving them out for months/years at a time. STILL THUOGH. They should be able to withstand that. Apparently though they’re getting warped. What’s wrong with the humidity or whatever in my room! Something’s wrong somewhere. Is this what the Warped Tour was about? The effect my bedroom has on uncased guitars and bass guitars? Then again if the guitar is in use day in, day out, everything seems to be okay for the most part. It’s usually only when I neglect a guitar for a while and then return to it do I realize Something Has Gone Terribly Wrong!
Wow. I’m gonna see Evil Dead Burn tomorrow with my brother. I saw The Invite over the weekend. Both movies were good I’ll Probably Be Able To Say. I dunno. I feel like I’m getting better at music over time. Taking School Of Rock, Practicing Improvising Music Myself, Reading Memoirs About Musicians. I think somethings building up! Knowledge is accumulating. Skills are crystalizing. I know what Major Seventh means SORT OF. I get what the 12 bar blues is KIND OF. I can go ahead and play a trill for 2 measures MORE OR LESS. Historywise I know all the gossip about stuff like Courtney Love punching Kathleen Hanna Or Not, or Keith Richards girlfriend falling in love with Jimi Hendrix, and stuff like that. IMPORTANT MUSIC MEMORIES. It’s weird because I invest fully in whatever music book I’m reading but sometimes the books directly contradict each other. Now I Don’t Know What TO THINK. Really. I don’t know what to think. It’s a problem! One part of me wants to believe The Latest Thing I Read but the other part of me wants me to believe The First Thing That I Read. So you can see the kind of bind I’m in! The important thing is Who Cares. Just move on to the next thing. Don’t get so hung up on any individual thing you read. Tehre’s always the next paragraph!
I guess. I dunno. Professional Poker Players want you rooting for them so when you’re eventually sitting at the table with them you subconsciously want them to win. I’m not sure it works that way. BUT THEY ARE. Well good we’ll see I guess. Anyway. No Spoilers but one of the characters in The Invite has the same three initials as a family member of mine. So I could really relate to the people in this movie. It was pretty funny. I liked it! It’s an ADULT movie for ADULTS. ADULT ADULTS. ABOUT ADULTS. And probably BY ADULTS. I get it I’m an adult by a plurality of standards. Some people are ADULTS but I’m more of A DOLT. I’ve been watching the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies. Must have been tough for young Johnny Depp to decide between going by John and Johnny for his career stagename. Obviously he’s had a lot of success with the route he’s taken. But we don’t know if he’s HAPPY being Johnny Depp as opposed to if he had been John Depp this entire time. Maybe he’s John in his private life. Great. I guess it Depp-ends on the situation. Anyway. I don’t think I’d be able to play Live Poker in my current and presumably ongoing state. Too complicated for me for a variety of reasons! Online Only. ANYWAY. That’s it for today. What can I do in life so I can build up to a better entry next time. I dunno. Really nothing. Just do a better entry next time. What I do beforehand doesn’t really matter as much as it feels. Interesting. Great. Anyway, see ya!
