It has been a long time since I have last blogged

OK so it has been a while. Not like anyone misses it. Lots has happened. I have completed my summers landscaping project. News to the world, I am getting good at this stuff. Many thanks to Russ for all of his help and leadership. Too bad my back is killing me just like his but my yard looks great just like his so I guess it is worth it. We had the big summer party and all went well. My brother Tim and Mike visited and they just don't seem to get along. Oh well, I try to bring people together but what can you do. We had a great jam and I was very pleased with every ones playing. I can't say the same for how others viewed my playing but they are not trying to do what I am trying to do so I don't expect them to understand. I am training to be a unique musician, not just a radio style reproducer of what other people already done. I am interested in creating my own style sounds and creations. That and after 10 beers I am into loud aggressive if not arrogant rock and roll. But isn't that what it is about. Maybe not. But it is for me. At this party is was nice to see old friends and family. It reminds me of the many nice people I am ignoring. I must stop that Bullshit behavior and make time for these nice caring interesting people.

Here is some random thoughts that I have had.

Do people have a whining instinct

Actually I do not have that much material that is new that seems to be any good. It is a good thing that I am not a professional writer, or musician for that matter. It seems that only I am impressed by my work. Others don't seem to like it as much. Yet they don't do it themselves. They just can criticize. Whatever I say to them. One thing I can say that groups of people are stupider and weaker than one. I bought 3 kegs of good beer for this party and when they were done 100 plus adults cant figure out how to get more kegs of beer. Pass around a hat and get 200 bucks and go buy some more beer. but no, No one would lead them so they would do nothing. No wonder Hitler got away with what he did. Because people need leaders. I am my own leader. Why do I even care about what others think. I care if they are upset but not so much with their opinion of what is good or appropriate. I care about what I like and if you like it too then good for you. At least when it comes to my blog and my guitar.

Anyway, I must go home and please the wife.
