Although that has nothing to do with anything, I thought it was a funny moment of the morning.
I'm coming up on my last few weeks in Kentucky before I head back to that hell hole known as Texas.
Yes, as you can tell, I am not really looking forward to going back because of how everything ended last semester.
I have dwelled on it a bit, and have come to one simple conclusion: I realized I don't give a fuck.
So instead of being a little bitch about it, I am just going to do my job, play my ass off, and live my life.
On that "live my life" portion, I woke up with a greater sense of self, and decided to get back to things that matter to me musically.
A friend of mine hipped me to "100 Greatest of Blue Note" on Spotify, and it simply rejuvenated me in to playing with heart and facility. The virtuoso's of our time are jazz players, and I want to get back to that track.Although I love playing jazz, music is music. I don't have the speed or fluency as many of my fellow musicians, but my ideas and creativity are just as strong, and that is why we all sound different.
Capitalize on your strengths while working on your weaknesses.
Although UNT is a great school, it isn't for everyone. I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I will either bite down and take it in the ass, or pick my shit up and head back north. At any rate, I feel like I have to create things to look forward to when I get back.
For example, making some hanging tomato plants with peppers on top. Or starting to ride my bike a lot more often, thus doing bike maintenance. Or starting a new workout routine. I don't know... I know that last part is boring.
Or start my own group and get to fucking jamming. I'm tired of this mediocrity filled world, time to fucking make some noise.
