G man the comeback!

Re: G man the comeback!

We like the Hispanic ladies, don't we? Lovely exotic beauties they are. I think I'm very understanding of your extra curriculars given that we are betrothed. What a millenial woman I am.

Yes, we like the latin ladies. You haven't exactly been available have you? Off galivanting around on various gardening forums flirting with the likes of Regenronnie69 and with Dapperdandeclutters02 over on the homewares forum. But i forgive you of course dear. So i've booked a tour of Sth america for our honeymoon.

How are you going Missus?

G'day Aaron! Welcome friend. How are things?

Must be Day 158. In work today dammit. Lucky i like my job. Another good gig on the weekend. Always nice to play, especially every week in a live gig setting where people for some strange reason actually listen and clap. Golly gosh, they even pay us. I'll enjoy that while it lasts because nothing is permanent and things will change. Just like worry and stress. Highly overrated and they do shift. When they shift like the clouds in the sky, we can choose whether we revisit such worries or not. Huh? Yep, that's right. We can learn some control. Start with breathing and basic meditation. 5 mindful breaths. Go on, have a crack pilgrims.

Take it easy. L8tr g8trs.

Re: G man the comeback!

Day 163 is amazing G. I'm so proud of you for keeping on keeping on.

My Fender is an acoustic. One of the last Fender F25s to be made, and very beautiful. I so wish I could do her justice.

Re: G man the comeback!

Classy Glassy! Hola!
What kind of music are you making there? free improv? Some Don Mc Clean, Cat Stevens? Some early Mahavishnu orchestra?

Funny you should say that G - American Pie was one of the first things I ever learned to play! (Showing my age). With a bit of Procol Harum thrown in. And then for some strange reason when I was about 17 I decided to start learning classical and since then whenever I picked up a guitar I automatically started playing Beethoven's Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor. Now I'm just stripping it all back to basics and trying to forget anything I've ever learned and start from scratch.

Thanks Classy Glassy. Fender F25 eh? Very noice. I was talking with a piano playing friend who started out strictly classical and only reading music. She told me playing in a rock band for a few years was very different. I asked her what she would play today if relaxing in front of her piano on a lazy sunday. She said most likely some beethoven or someone else's composition. The concept of improvisation or just creating something out of thin air wasn't at the forefront of her musical thinking. It was unfamiliar territory. After further discussion she agreed that creating something new at the piano was a possibility, just a foreign concept. I find this way of thinking a foreign concept, and have met many classical musicians who share it. But the core pleasure remains........making some sounds. Rapt to hear you have your guitar out. Encore! Have a bewdy mi amiga.

Holy fartin' friar's, it's Day 164!

in work today. Wish i was going to the beach or somewhere in nature. It's a gonna be 30C and sunny. Wowza! I still might be able to swing a visit to nature today.

Take it easy and go git it pilgrim.

Bring it on ref. One day at a time. Today will be a bewdy. Great gig yesterday. A new guitar album out now. Setting up the next one's cover art then that'll be out too. Noice! Need to git my other band moving too. maybe some new music for that.

That's because you're a true musician and I'm just a tone deaf wannabe.

Looking forward to counting down to your 180 days. That's a huge achievement. xx

Re: G man the comeback!

Thanks Glassy.

If you're making music, then you are a musician. Hope you're having a nice week.

Holy pontificating pontiffs! It's Day 166.

All is well here. Work is good. Working with people is very rewarding, and of course sometimes a little tricky. But all in all it's an honour. Still chasing a couple of chica's. The search goes on. I had a flash this morning of who i'd invite to my wedding.......Bjesus! Radical maaaaan. Easy big fella.

Let's git it.

Re: G man the comeback!

Hola my friends. Day 167! Not far from the big 6 month mark. Alright!

A day off today thank fk. I need it lol. Work is good and busy. The extra job i took on will have to finish soon as it's been the 6-8 week agreed period for my helping out and the extra time is impacting other projects i have going. I might give it another week or 2 taking me to end of next week then i'm out. We'll see.

The sober life is the best. the sun is shining here, so it's off to the beach for a run and a dip soon.

Take it easy.

Re: G man the comeback!

Day 168! Well, i can say......the feeling's fairly great. Not 100% great, but very good overall. Def in a much better head space and place physically, mentally, emotionally than when i was boozing. The transformation can be seen if i look back. I am still climbing the mountain heading for the summit. From there no doubt, i will have another mountain to climb. And..........loving it.

Take it easy out there pilgrim.

Re: G man the comeback!

Holy conniving cardinals! It's Day 169! and the feeling's fine.

Off to my music session this morning. Then it's to the market for BBQ'd fish sandwiches! I usually order 3. half of one to eat there, then a run and swim at the nearby beach, then find a spot on the sand or in the shade to hog the other 2.5 generous offerings on toasted turkish bread with lemon juice, chilli and lettuce!

36C expected today. Have a bewdy out there.

Re: G man the comeback!
