i forgot if i mentioned that i got a guitar for my birthday from my brother, but i can tell I'm getting better at it. I'm trying to make myself practice everyday.
and i still don't know what i want to do career-wise, but I do have a goal now, and that is to create something I can be proud of. if i could create something like Dark Side of the Moon, or writing or anything really, then i can die happily and wouldn't mind living poorly. so I'm hoping that learning to play the guitar will open up another avenue for me to express myself and create.
I'm trying to stay active these days. forcing myself to floss, to clean where i see dirtiness, forcing myself to do small things to get up and get out, just baby steps like that. hopefully that would lead to a bigger change and i can stay active where it matters, like looking for a career or reaching that goal of mine.
I'm also going to start posting pictures of people I admire, and recently I've gotten into many forms of music (blues, country, jazz). I mean, I guess I always liked them, but now I'm really getting into them. So here's the first person; King of the Delta Blues, Robert Johnson. Legend has it that he took his guitar to a crossroad, and there he met the devil, and gave his soul in exchange for the ability to play the guitar well. The song Cross Road Blues is said to be about this legend. Here's two more songs that allude to that theme; Me and the Devil Blues, Hellhound on My Trail.
