BIG NEWS today. I mean Seriously BIG news.
This is like people moving rocks and coming back from the dead and shit news. The grand pontiff himself has made an announcement!
Catholics can NOW USE CONDOMS!
Wait...that seems less big now that I consider most people who give a shit use them anyway...but STILL.
CATHOLICS now have the god given write to strangle their their Johnsons with plastic just like the rest of us.
One caveat though. You cannot use them to prevent pregnancy. Since when did preventing pregnancy become the SIDE effect of condom use? Oh...now I see. the Pope made an slight change...an addenda if you will. He condones condom use only for those that are not "worried about procreation, such as male homosexual prostitutes". Well all of you MALE HOMOSEXUAL PROSTITUTES can rest east now knowing that the pope is allowing you to wear condoms. I know that you were all very worried about using condoms because you just KNEW that the Vatican was looking in on you and saying "Do what you want but you better not even THINK about using a condom" (sorry women, you're still not allowed because your next John might have super sperm that will create the next savior in your womb).
Really Benedict? I'm not religious so I may be slightly out of date on the catechism but I always assumed that the church had bigger fish to fry with prostitutes and homosexuals. I could be very wrong, but I think I can safely say that a good portion of male homosexual prostitutes couldn't give less of a shit about what you say in regards to condom use.
Hopefully Benedict will come to his senses and give an exemption to male priests as well. They fuck with people's heads enough without giving herpes to their altar boys.
Thank you Catholic church for constantly reminding me how ridiculously out of touch you are with EVERYTHING.

Hello friend!
So I've decided that it is time to move ASAP. Almost everyone I know has migrated to Portland. I think that there's a little house in SE somewhere thats calling my name. There's some great musicians up there to play with and I can keep working for the same company so there is actually very little reason not to move. Must meet new people soon.
Birthday is SOON! (22nd) I need ideas for partyness!!!!!

Our fantasies are so much more idyllic that and reality could be.
I am continually awed by the intense and emotionally satisfying moments that the human mind can create for me.
I can drive down the road and see a building. Just a bar. But I can imagine in my mind a perfect scenario. I stop for lunch. A small trio is playing in the corner next to an untouched Double Bass. I pick up the instrument and play for the next two hours, earning myself a new gig and the adoration of the audience.
I can imagine going to a party with co-workers, but intermittently stealing a glance at one in particular. We sit at a table with the group, incidentally our arms will occasionally brush together; a brief moment but not unnoticed by either party. More drinks only increase the tension in the air that surrounds us and brief touching turns to the wringing of hands underneath the table as our legs inch closer to each other. As the party ends, we both happen to leave through the same back door, sharing a lascivious kiss on the other side of the wall. It may end there, it may not, but in that moment the night is perfect. The bright glow of the full moon illuminates her resplendent features and soft silhouette.
My mind is full of these dreams, these un-attainable fantasies that are what my soul is screaming for. These moments that are not about the future, but about momentary happiness and perfect minutes. I dream about these moments and spend my life trying to collect them; if not in quantity, then with exuberance. This is what drives me to take the chances I do, and to explore past my comforts and mores instilled by society. I will always be open to whatever joy stands before me, be it simple or fraught with risk. I want to experience as much of the beautiful life around me as I can.
Join me.
Life is only worth the moments it's made of.

So I figure I might as well do a bit of journaling so that anyone who wants to add me as a friend knows something about me.
So I play in an orchestra. Until now, I've been the ONLY bass player. It's been wonderful. This week we have a new addition. At first I was excited. I love playing with new musicians and I love meeting new people. My hopes were dashed when I quickly learned that he had a fatal flaw, and couldn't play in tune. I've discovered that there is nothing more difficult than trying to correct a musician who has played longer than you yet is sitting in the second chair. They get upset rather quickly....agh...the politics of music....
Now off to Big Band rehearsal. At least there I'm still the only bass player.

How often does anyone think about the cost of opportunity for a given situation?
Sorry to get all economic her (damn day job) but it seems like life would be a little less confusing if there was a little button for every decision in life with a complete list of costs for a given opportunity (e.g. I've given up my ability to fully invest in music for a modicum of financial security). Maybe when I have a few more friends added on here (it is my first day on SG after all) I can hear what some other people have to say on the subject.
What have you given up in order to gain something else in life?
