Eugene’s Ghost

it’s a sad day in Ronnieville today. i think Eugene’s Ghost is done. i know it never actually was anything, but i guess the dream of Eugene’s Ghost is gone. if you don’t know, Eugene’s Ghost is the name of the band i’ve been wanting to start for a couple of years now. i write a lot of songs and play with a bunch of musicians. for some reason, i’ve never figured out how to put the two together. the part that sucks is that i have a passion to play my music more than i ever have in my life. but, now that i’m old everyone has better things to do than start a band. you wouldn’t think someone who is surrounded by musicians would have so much trouble finding people that wanted to play with him. i wonder if God is saying something? i don’t really know what to do………

It’s a small world………..after all

this is a message to myself. get out of your own little world. your own little world doesn’t do you any good.

we are so closed minded. even open minded people aren’t really all the way open (kinda like a hi-hat)
if we didn’t get in our little boxes a lot of things would be better.

i started thinking about this yesterday, when all i heard about was the bounty hunter guy and his racist phone conversation. obviously, he doesn’t go around talking like that all the time. he was in his comfort zone, being himself. making ignorant comments because of his little box.

i hate going overseas and seeing americans get frustrated at someone who doesn’t speak good english. we think everyone should speak english, eat at mcdonalds, drive a ford, and sing the star spangled banner.

sure, it’s easy to be comfortable. but if you don’t open yourself up, you can’t grow. i’m giving you some homework this time

1. try something new ( food, activity, change in habit)
2. meet someone new, and have a conversation. someone who is different than you. you’d be surprised what you can learn

A little hint…..

the kick drum and bass guitar are best friends. they enjoy being together. they’re like peas and carrots. so, if you ask a band to play something, please don’t have the drummer jam out and tell the bass player not to play. it sounds empty.

sorry, i’m sure no one reading this understands what i’m talking about. i’m just venting a little. I just left a service at crave

the speaker was interesting. everyone i talked to either loved him or hated him. i’ve never heard that kind of response before. Usually people are in the middle. oh well, off to bed…….
