The Village Idiot

Yeah, that's me, or at least how I feel at times. I'm sure everybody has those moments where you're the last one to know something and you finding out was kind of an accident. Case in point, my old band is now a new band, playing covers. The way I found out was kind of accidental I suppose, and honestly it seems like this was concealed on purpose. I find that pretty funny. I understand maybe they felt uncomfortable telling me, or maybe I didn't even enter their mind as mattering on it, either way I guess I felt kinda slighted. They were right in that I don't want to do it. Personally I just think it's a little cheesy to make money off of someone else's music and I'm kinda against it from a moral standpoint. I don't think you're an asshole if you do it, I just choose not to. If you want money, get a job and suffer like everyone else; that's what I say. Plus I honestly wouldn't be interested in taking so much time to sit down and learn a bunch of these songs. I know I'd rather play video games than argue about which stupid songs to butcher. Driving out to Shawn's once a week is bad enough too as the drive seems soooo fucking long anymore, especially when we really aren't going anywhere without a bass player. I surely wouldn't want to do it to play covers. I still have fun just hanging out, bullshitting, and coming up with songs or working out ones I had in my head, but covers = no thank you.

But in life, good times come and go and all that's left is the depression of memories. Fortunately I'm content to sit at home and play video games, (which for some reason makes me some kind of joke, apparently). Ultimately, they are the only thing that makes everything else fade away into the background. Annoying job, friends get busy in "adulthood", frustrations, failures, relationships....it all dissipates. All that's left is me guiding little Pikmin to collect junk and fight plants and bugs, and no more nagging real life troubles.

Anyway, what the fuck does it matter, Bears season starts Sunday. These fuckers had better improve this year. I want Super Bowl victory within 4 years damnit!
