Self Manipulation Through Guilt

I really want to play some guitar today, but I don’t think I am going to have the time. Still, I took today’s photo a day picture as a specific attempt to try and guilt myself into playing. I do this a lot and it almost never works. Oh well.

The New Les Paul

I’ve been spending so much time stressing over my old Les Paul that I thought that today’s photo a day picture should be my new Les Paul. This is the one Jen gave me for my 50th birthday and I love it that much more because of her.

I Need a Musical Weekend

Just looking ahead to this weekend. I need to make some music. I need to play some guitar. I need to play guitar through an amplifier and not just headphones. It is imperative. We’re getting to that point where not playing is affecting my mental state. Music must be made at volume. It is necessary.

Time?

Do you need time?

Daily Writing Prompt

What a stupid question.

Yes, I need time. Do I want to get to work on time? Yes. Do I want to keep appointments? Yes. Do I want to know when I can spend time with my wife and family? Absolutely, yes.

The entire human race, without exception, needs time. At the most basic level. We need to know when to sleep and when to wake up. We need to know when to eat. We need to know when the sun is going to go down and the scary monsters that want to eat us will come out of their creepy hiding places.

Really… what a stupid question.

Photo a Day Candidates

I took two cat pictures this morning. I had to decide which one would be the photo a day pic for today. I did this to take my mind off of my guitar sitting on the operating table. It worked for about three minutes.

The Last Pics

Forgive me for hyper-focusing on the whole guitar-in-the-shop topic, but this is just a little nerve wracking to me. It’s like sending an old friend off to the hospital with the knowledge that the old friend might never be the same again.

Are these the last photographs taken of my beloved 1978 Les Paul Custom before the neck is ripped to pieces?

Probably

No One Puts Lily in a Basket

Today’s photo-a-day pic. I was thinking about taking my Z5 outside and trying to take something more interesting than just another picture of a cat. Jen and I got out of bed at about the same time and she turned on the bedroom lights. That’s when we saw this…….

I guess Miss Lily had other plans for the photo-a-day pic. How could I pass up this view?

On an unrelated note, I forgot to watch this week’s new episode of Loki last night! I forgot to watch it this morning too! Talk about your pop-culture fail! Now I have to struggle to avoid spoilers all day today. What a loser I am!
