sunny day.
The moods been a little swingy lately. I'd attribute that to more beer in the diet. I've been smoking a bunch as well. Most evenings i've got a craving for weed, but most evenings it doesn't find me.
Some new pictures of me in rock mode are up on facebook. I'm pretty happy about them. I'm pretty happy about music.
I've got some major year end projects looming, but i'm aware of them. I'm poking away at them. I've got a sweet harmony project that consists of writing a jazz song. I have to use the concepts i've been hearing about, secondary dominance is a big one, and i've got to put a lead sheet together. Chords and a melody. Not due for a month, but i'm fully excited about the work ahead.
I've been dealing with the idea that i'm not as musical as i want to be. Not cause i think i'm lousy, but cause i want to possess musicality to the point of superhero.
The lesson is that i should be happy with the process. I should enjoy the process of trying to be the best musician i can be. Grappling with the fear of "what if i ain't" isn't going to help. Lesson written, not yet learned. First step in most processes is acknowledgment. I'm okay.
Yada yada. I've got some salmon in my sink. We're having company for dinner. My aunt claire has a recipe that has been easily remembered. Marinade in equal parts olive oil, soya sauce, and maple syrup. This'll be my first time making it. I think that rice usually goes with fish, but we're gonna cook potatoes. Probably garlic mashed. There's a bit of worry that it wont suit the plate, but it's the tastiest standalone potato that i'm capable of. It'll probably suit the plate. Asparagus is green.
I'll be okay if i'm not in a band this summer. That's something worth believing.
