Random thought: kind of bummed today.

My wife and daughter left for California today so now I'll be here all week by myself. I like the solitude but it kind of sucks to see them go. I know they are going to have a great time and I'm going to fly into SF this weekend to meet them so I guess I'm just going to have to hold down the fort by myself this week.

 

are you guys moving there?

i know what you mean though. even if my wife is gone for just a whole day, i start to miss her pretty quickly. at first i think...ok i'll just play online poker/post on hipforums/get high/listen to music all night, but after a couple hours that has gotten old.

i enjoy my alone time too, but i like it interupted by saying hi to my wife in the other room

 

a week to myself sounds great. although i would rather be the one in california leaving everyone else behind.

 

I'm always alone... You'll be alright man, chill and write a song.

 

I know it will be ok. I was kind of looking forward to it until they actually left. I was planning on setting up my guitar rig in the living room and drinking a bunch of beer all week. So I have all my stuff ready to be set up and cranked up, I just ordered a pizza with the toppings I like and I have a large cooler full of beer by the front door that I had left over from a festival I played yesterday. This should be like heaven!! But I'd still rather have them here with me.

Porkstock....nah...not moving out there but we hope to at some point. The only two things keeping me here is my business and my band. I could hire someone to run the business but I love playing in my band and those dudes have been my best friends and bandmates for over 1/3 of my entire life. I just can't bring myself to walk away from it.

 

well your feelings made me smile - its a beautiful thing missing them and knowing tht you will be with them soon. Im sending you best wishes and hopes for things to improve day by day. Hope the week goes by fast.

 

On a positive note, I ate pizza on the couch, left the toilet seat up on purpose and might save money on my electric bill since every damn light in the house isn't on. Now....it's about time to introduce the neighbors on my block to some music I've been working on.

 

Puh -- I would walk around my house naked and live it up.

....it's only a week, enjoy it. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

 

I actually thought about doing that. :afro: Every once in a while when we are home alone, my wife and I will do that for the evening. But I figured I'd be sitting here by myself thinking "Well....this is sort of anti-climactic!"

 

Look, I'm telling you....once they come back, it's going to hit you that you should have done your thing a little while they were away!
They are safe, everything will be fine.

 

I find being naked with someone else to be much more fun....except for sleeping. I don't care if I'm sleeping alone or not...I can't wear clothes to sleep. But if I strip down and jam out on the couch, my dogs will probably be looking at me thinking "WTF, man!! Mom has been gone for half a day and this shit happens?!"

 

The part about introducing your neighbors to some music made me laugh......I can blow the roof off the top of this house and neighbors don't hear....yes, I am rubbing your nose in it....LOL

Live it up there, Wizard!

 

If I turn my Fender tube amp up to 3 the windows rattle in my house. But the sun is going down so we are about to have a little, free concert because that's the kind of generous dude I am! If I ever get of the forums and go play anyway. :afro: It's Sunday so maybe I'll play some cathedral music.

 

:2thumbsup:show them what they have been missing....

 

Alright...I'm going to go in there and bust out some cheesy 80's stuff. Some dudes recently asked me to play in an "80's blues band" with them so I expected SRV, Clapton, etc. So I said "Yeah...sure...let's jam and see what happens." Then they gave me a song list that did includes two SRV songs but also a bunch a 80's hard rock stuff like Ratt, Cinderella, Poison and so on. I thought "Fuck that...I'm not playing that shit." But then I started playing Talk Dirty To Me and it actually was kind of fun and it took me about 3 minutes to learn it so I think I've decided to be open minded. My drummer hates that song (he wouldn't be in this band anyway) so at the festival yesterday I kept messing with him. I'd walk up behind him and sing "You know I never....I never thought you looked so good...you always act the way you should...but I like it..." I kept it in his head for a while and I did it for my vocal soundcheck with him wishing he could stab me with a drum stick. Good times. Anyway...

 

So bummed I couldn't make it to your festival yesterday. I hope everything went well. Try to enjoy your week home alone. You'll see your wife and daughter soon.

 

I wish you could have been there but it went pretty well except for one short but very intense storm. I was sitting in with another band when it hit. The stage was covered and water-proof but it was crazy to stand there while playing and watch all of that unfold in front of us. We were prepared for rain but not that kind of storm. That was scary but the audience stepped up and literally held that place together in the wind...soaked and even some people covered in mud....but still cheering and partying down. It was kind of inspiring because if they are willing to go through that to be there....I will play my ass off for them. But we did have to shut down for a little while and unplug everything out of concern for the sound systems. But all in all....you should have been there. :afro:

 

I've noticed that this little thing has been following me all over the house this afternoon. Every time I go to a different room she follows and then waits to see if I'm going to stay there long enough for her to find a comfy spot to lay down. I think she misses her people.

 

I don't like the separation anxiety ever. I'm heading back to Canada for the summer (grad school - booo) and will be separated from my wife for a few weeks... and well it just kind of puts a damper on things.

 

LOL. yeah, can't get naked in front of the dogs ._.
and I totally agree, being naked with someone else is much funner for sure.
I was just trying to encourage you in some way to have fun and relax while they are gone. It's a rare occasion. Everyone needs time to themselves.
Hey, maybe go see a movie or something.
