Merry Xmas to me. Got a call for the above amp and could not pass it up. Not that I need another amp. But it just has a tone to it.

In this slow time I have been putting the finishing touches on a cd that has been in the works for a long time. I have 1 song to finish and it is giving me one hell of a time. I may put it out may not. Its been a slow time project for a few years.

Some good friends of mine got engaged Friday night at a show. It was nice. It put this bruised up old geezer in a good mood. I thought wow it could not happen to better people. I was in a funk due to this being a shitty year in the stress, injury/sickness, death dept.

I am still taking xmas off. I told family and friends this. I did get some silly shit for labels I work with and also a local studio tech that has saved my ass on a few occasions. And the owners of a local bar I like to go to and keep the ringing in my ears constant.

The friends in question tried to set me up with the girls brothers ex wife. Not my type sorry to say. "You are a a lot like that guy ashby on californication". Thats the second time I have heard that. I guess I will have to see what they hype is all about. Edit to say I read a blurb on the character. I can see some similarities but not all. I am not a manwhore or do mountains of blow. I have not touched it since 1998. It might be the humor I do not know. I'll check the dvr I think I was recording it.

The dating pool locally is kind of shallow sorry to say. I am friends with all the girls in the so called "scene". I am a bit afraid of some of the hangers on after what happened to another buddy and a girl that followed him around and he had to get a restraining order against her. I am not some high and mighty rock star by any means. I have worked in music for almost 20 years and have crossed paths with alot of people. It can be intimidating when someone says oh I like so and so. And you say oh I have worked for them. It can go two ways. Someone may like the fact that you work in a creative field or it is a deal breaker. I like the 1st. And we are all human. Put our pants on the same way so to speak. I just decided to do what I wanted to do. Stuck with it. It has not been easy to say the least. I was not handed any talent. I just kept at it. Thats all.

But the pool as I speak of I know too well, the secrets, the problems, etc. I would rather have them as friends. Call me shallow but I guess I am picky. Not snobby. Just picky. I dont know. Might be time to bug out of this one horse town. New Zealand in March might take care of that.

There is someone, but they live far away. Distance sucks.
