What I’ve been doing lately:
- Paperwork. Mostly my taxes.
- Working an average 5 hours a day on my parents’ house.
- Writing quick and partial songs and recording them on minitape. Playing drums with sticks (I normally use brushes).
- Worrying about muscle stiffness. My hands tense up when I play guitar for more than 30 minutes. My joints are starting to ache slightly. If I work really hard at music I may find success in my 40s, just in time to be a hopelessly depressed arthritic old man.
- Contacting places to play in Milwaukee and Chicago. No one so far.
- Researching the prospect of moving to Chicago.
- Researching the prospect of going back to school and taking web development classes.
- Thinking about how silly everything is and wondering why people even try and if I should even bother.
