This may sound a bit ridiculous, but I haven't been able to play my guitar all day. I'm moving and am having to ship it across the country. It's only been a day and already I am having withdrawals? If that's what you could call this sad feeling that I know I cannot play my guitar. It's packed and I'm gonna ship it tomorrow, so I'm worried as hell about it too. If it gets damaged/broken I'll have it insured, but that guitar is like a brother to me. Any of you guys have an instrument or similar "object" that you'd miss very much if it was unavailable to you......or worse broken?
Well, I'd say you have some psychiatric issues if you are lost with out an instrument and cannot handle the 'down' time. But I'd do something eles, like go for a walk or talk on RT.
Bro...you seem to assume far to many things about other peoples lives. I never said I "cannot handle the "down" time." I simply said there's definetely a sad feeling present that I cannot play it. I'm not "lost" without my guitar, however it does bother me.
Yep. I've had my cues (poolsticks) stolen on the train once when I was passed out drunk. I was panicking and felt naked- Back then I played everyday
Brother Bthizle, I was being a smart ass. Thanks for not riping my ass too hard. I know what you mean.
my computer. i mean, i am not sentimentally attached to my computer, but it's what it contains: over 60 gigs of music the internet my pictures mostly my music. i'd be lost without it.
I feel you there.....luckily I was able to put my music on an external hard drive (thanks to a friend), so I'll be brining it with me. I've begun to develop more of an attachment to making music rather than just listening to it though.
I was reaaaaallly attached to my guitar when I first got it (a lot of things have happened between then and now that sort of distanced me and Thursday...yeah, I named it Thursday, lol). My fucking douchefuck of a friend "borrowed" it at a speech tournament, was pretending to be a bad ass, and as he was sliding across the stage, he DROPS my guitar. Oh my god...I still haven't forgiven him. All it did was knock it slightly out of tune and chip a chunk out of the base of the body, but holy fuck. I'm still so pissed about that. It's a deep mark and it would have to be completely sanded down and repainted to even come close to repairing it. Fucking asshole...
Its funny that every nick we give them (our guitars) ourselves is a mark of love but every tiny scuff mark or finger print others give them is like a thousand kicks in the nuts.
I hear ya. Girls are particularily vicious when it comes to protecting their instruments. Just watch richie havens at woodstock on youtube and your you'll feel a little better about having a mangled guitar.
I had a ring my grandmother had given me when I was about 15, it was stolen from me. She passed away about a month after that happen... it meant a lot to me, I was really pissed, especially since I know who it was and I know I"m never getting it back.
i was very attatched to my camera. but after it got broken, i just deal with it, but it still makes me sad till i can afford another one. i really love taking pictures.
I can't even begin to explain how shitty I'd feel if someone had broken my guitar. Especially if it was a friend that was just being a dumb ass with it. It's to bad that those who don't play an instrument usually don't understand just how much they actually mean to those who do. My condolences for your loss....
