Ya know,

I look at it all as god's way of preparing me for the next step.. I needed the humbling experience. I'm a better person for this, and when the smoke clears, maybe I'll be able to do something better for someone else.. I've been a **** to people, and you truly reap what you sow. I'm saddened a lot, but I'm strangely more in love with music. I was a player that stopped listening... To myself, and the best people around.

sometimes the wake up call is harsh brother..

Dude, the whole makeup thing...
The worst part of it is that women kind of raise the bar too high for themselves with makeup. For example, I know a really cute girl who always wears makeup, and then every once in a while I'll see her when she woke up late for class, or she had marathon training... geesh, it's almost scary!
I really think natural skin is beautiful, but if you get used to always seeing the makeup, well

Incredible. You're engaging story-telling is only topped by the content of the story! It's been corroborated by too many people to be anything but true. I'm encouraged by the people here on TB and there genuine interest in the well being of a fellow musician. Sometimes the scum seems to outweigh the good 100:1 but this thread and the responses seem to prove, with bassists anyway, that maybe this isn't all true.

It would be a tragedy, in my opinion, to see you quite entirely. Keep it up. I've had to restart school three times and have had to pay for it after screwing up and throwing away a free ride to just about anywhere, so I feel ya'!

Subscribed and enthralled.

P.S. If you ever make it through Oklahoma (I know, I know), or somewhere near like Dallas, etc. Let us know.

what is this thing with american women and makeup? Too much makeup IMO. There are kids walking around here with seriously bad skin wearing more makeup than the group KISS..

A little makeup is cool, but if I wanted kabuki theatre, I'd go to japan..

Don't let one of them hug you.. you'll wind up at the dry cleaners. I know... $20.00 ..Sheesh..

I'm currently in the UK and I have seen quite a few girls here who wear just as much make up as the ones at home.... in fact I haven't seen many girls who don't wear make up.....

Yep, Band On The Wall. Great venue. I saw Ravi Coltrane and Roy Ayers there. Both great gigs.

In the interest of housekeeping these threads would normally be merged, but there are apparently 2 divisions to this saga, so we will go with that.
