What do you do? I was under the impression you were a full time musician
I get them, or from school people, generally they know nothing about me so I've been endorsed out the nose in PowerPoint and other stupid simple stuff lol... I never endorse back though, as important in life endorsements are, their method turns it into a silly game.
I hate being compelled to do something. But the last few v days were paid for by my ex, and surprises so was pretty much unavoidable.
That said the surprise element helped, I'm a fan of spontaneity. Most dates or things I set up happen very quickly after being planned. I don't like planning out "romance" for the future.
"I want to drive in no direction til we see something we've never seen or been to, get your shoes... " I do that alone a lot in my car and on foot so it's not too abnormal for me. But to others it's quite different.
Too stereotypical that's why it's hard to come by those things today. Does she have a real favorite flower/s where's your first date place or a restaurant she liked but you haven't been in a while? What are things she loves but never thinks about, find those.
OR if your chill enough to play it off. Get everything for tomorrow and said it seems more about us now.
Everything they've put out I love, this new album is probably my most anticipated album this year, besides VEGAs album getting done. Spooky Psyched out DOOM, yes please, MOAR PLEASE!!!
lol how did i give off that vibe? im a project manager for a defense contractor, im just a make believe rockstar at night.
Everyone else mentions work or school frequently. You only mention music and family life etc. so I assumed that was what you did.
ah good call. well as i learned long ago, hard to afford pretty much anything as a full time musician unless youre legit in the industry and playing with major groups or doing major label/studio work.
i traded the full time sleep on couches and live with mom for big boy job, house, wife, kids, amps lol.
Easy Valentine's Day for me since I am still all swollen from surgery and blowing chunks of blood clots. But I managed to get to a store long enough to get a card and a big old gift bag full of her favorite candies, so scored bonus points for still remembering V Day while I am looking and acting like a zombie LOL
I just celebrated VDay by signing divorce papers. Feels odd I'm completely emotionless about the whole subject. Oh well.
Kids and I will stay up late watching movies and eating junk food.

Mix, sometimes within a single song. Just depends on how much attack/definition I want out of a part. Sometimes if having stiffness or aches in my hands, I will play with a pick just to give my hand a rest. I don't have a problem modifying my pick technique to give a softer attack and sound more like fingerstyle. Sometimes in those cases I just end up playing with one finger, which I can usually do just fine even for fast parts. In some bands I only use pick just because it's the best way to get the tone I want, especially with an overdrive or distortion pedal where I want a lot of really sharp attack.
This is what my wife said when we started dating. This year she revised that opinion lol. I sent flowers to her office a couple days early, took a day off work yesterday and spent all day doing baby related stuff and today we're going out for pancakes for lunch (she's been craving them all week)...then I'm cooking her dinner tonight. Either that or I'm bringing home pie and ice cream, depending on what her final verdict is lol. So all bets are off once the bun is in the oven, I'm not holding her to anything.
I do the big stuff for her on our anniversary and her birthday. She doesn't REALLY care about V day, but she wants the little extra attention and PDA's. We have a pretty close, romantic, affectionate relationship as-is, so it's not that big a stretch. When we went on our 10 year anniversary trip, everyone kept asking us if we were newlyweds and when we said how longn we'd been married, we actually got a lot of sour faces. Like "why are you so happy?", weird. At the baby class we went to last night, I was the only husband there. It was us and like 10 ladies, maybe one of which brought a friend. I was kind of shocked by that actually. I've gone to every single appointment, one board for every baby related activity, I'm support staff. I'm there paying attention, asking questions. I was going to bring a pad and take notes, but my wife said that would be overkill. I'm just detailed oriented about everything I care about and my focus is very narrow. Then again, there's a lot of things about how people act towards each other in public in typical relationships and marriages that I find really odd and completely foreign to my sensibilities. Actually, I could say that about most things people do in general. I fully acknowledge being weird.
I'm digging this new Salem's Pot. The video is awesome. I recognize a few clips. But I'm sure my roomie knows all of them. Probably has a good amount of them too.
It's sounds like that retro doom thing that Electric Wizard switched to.

Cheers dude,
As sh!tty as it was, getting my divorce out of the way was such a good turning point in my life.
My uncle always says marriage and kids come after 30, I agree for now on the marriage, but whole heartedly agree on babies being way off.
Good news, over lunch I snagged a reservation at a swanky place for tomorrow, and locked down a dozen roses to pick up after work.
Everyone in a good relationship knows theres a level of give and take... I play along with the holidays because she doesnt care what I do any other day of the year. She can hang with me and my buds and participate along with my shenanigans, but at heart she's a girly girl and eats it up when we get dressed up and go out somewhere nice.. doesnt hurt that she usually has some new Vic Secret swag for me when we get home
And I always enjoy an excuse to eat a $50 steak.
Some epic Craigslistery happening today... I just picked up the 70's Small Stone at an intersection downtown. Guy originally posted it for $120, at which time I offered him $90. He wanted to wait it out, so a few weeks later I see he's got it listed at $90.... I offer him $80 and convenient pickup and he bit.
Then my guitarist and I found a guy selling his dad's old Sun Sorado and Sunn 2x15 with busted speakers, $800 for the whole kit. I sent him a shot in the dark offer for $150 for the cab and he bit, I think its a fair deal and I can add speakers to match my current Sunn 2x15 and have a pretty epic 2 ohm rig. Didnt have any interest in the 50 watt Sorado head.. but should I?
