Despite talk of depression, which is highly-justified under the circumstances, the only thought on hitting the sack (i.e. tired ol' couch) was, man, you have got to play whatever that was again. That's your objective ... turn depression into musical lust. Do this, young bluesman, and you will always be free.
So sure I crashed and was pleased to do it. It was a quiet night for me as I was dead to the world ... but not for Yevette as I wished her good night as I tottered off to sleep ... and wished her good morning when I woke or at least when I woke for real. She was still up and that's how it usually goes as she will crash before too much longer. She says it's ok if I play when she sleeps as she likes it ... but that ain't socialism if I do it ... that's taking advantage of a really good friend.
Things look much better this morning, maybe not so much for my computer but the Galaxy Guitar don't need no stinkin' computer. It never did. I was the one who came up with the dumb ass idea to get computers involved in my music. That was somewhere between '85 and '90 and it was based on the original classic Mac (i.e. never trust a computer you can't hold in your hand). Anyone remember that?? It's when Mac was born and I use one to this day ... at least when it works.
We also don't need no stinkin' history lessons, we just want to play.
(Ed: why do you use 'we' a lot when it's only you?)
It's very bad journo form to use the first person as that attempts to make the news about you rather than about what really happened. That form is abused widely but there's a valid reason for the standard modern journos violate. Bill O'Reilly may be the worst for this as he relentlessly tells you what he thinks about news but his thoughts are irrelevant to the content of the news itself. Show me what happened, shut the hell up, and I'll make up my own mind about what happened.
And, yes, I studied journalism in college which, I imagine, separates me from the vast majority of modern broadcast journos.
