This is my band doing our first non-school-prom-friends-or-family related gig. Well actually it was a BOTB in the OGDC a couple of weeks ago. We did not win. We lost. I still call it our stupidest brilliant idea ever because we signed up on the spot with one night of jamming. It was a last minute decision. We were bored out of our minds and really wanted to take a stage. ANY stage. We chose this one. No regrets.
The Return
So it’s been what? 7 months? 6 since I was away?
Yes, it has been a while.
I decided to take my time off the internet world. Breathe in the outside air. And it was worth everything. I’m in the greatest relationship with a real sweetheart, the band I’m in has made some progress (we recorded and posted a song on our FaceBook page: Perfect Scums) and writing more songs, and actually living. Like y’know, with a life. The colors of the world, the taste of food, the conversations with my collection of odd-ball friends, watch the Earth move, feel the grass grow, watch a lot of movies I’ve never heard of. I feel like a monk in a sense that I was learning how to chill.
Basically I took some time to re-discover myself before I resume with anything else.
I’m still very much in school, suffering the dread that is Form 6 (Upper), but hey, by the end of November I’m a free man. I currently work part time teaching kids (so far) how to play the ukulele & the guitar.
I plan to keep it that way. So I may update more frequently, or maybe not. Maybe I just might not give a damn. But never say never. Because you’ll never know what you’ll do until you actually live. It’s like from this Hindi movie I watched recently (like I said, I am watching movies I’ve never seen before):
“Life is short my friends. But it is long enough, if you live with all your heart. Break The Rules. Forgive Quickly. Kiss Slowly. Love Deeply. Laugh Uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile” -Ethan Mascarenhas, Guzaarish
You can go for MTV Exit. You can go for USAID.
I joined this one a few years ago.
