It has been awhile since I used my cybah rig so I | |
decided to use it today and install system updates. | |
It still seems to work fine and does what it needs | |
to do, but for some reason, I want to mess with it | |
again instead of just use it as is. I should just | |
leave it alone since it still does what it should. | |
Going back to the last entry about gamblin', I | |
ended up using a portion of the winnings on a nice | |
resonator guitar. There was one on clearance at | |
the local music shop that was marked down 56%, so I | |
nabbed it. Gotta have something to remind me of | |
the win before it all goes to unmemorable household | |
expenses. | |
The guitar is a Gretsch G9221 Bobtail guitar.[1] | |
It is beautiful and fun to play. The body is | |
completely steel and it has an aluminium spider | |
cone resonator with a pickup inside. The neck is | |
mahogany and rounded in the back and the action is | |
quite comfortable for me. I'm not so experienced | |
with various guitars or setups, but I do know that | |
I like how this one sounds and feels. I can truly | |
play heavy metal now! ;) | |
It has been a joy exploring the instrument and making | |
it sing. It makes so many interesting fun sounds and | |
so loud! Even more so when I plug it into an | |
amplifier! When I play it, sometimes it reminds | |
me of the gas can for the lawn mower. Now I gotta | |
learn some tunes that are more traditional for this | |
fine instrument. It is so nice to play quality | |
instruments! | |
Since I have been back from C-Town, I have been in | |
a constant struggle to keep from getting swept up | |
in how things were before I left, like getting | |
anxious of the day, having to feel like I have to | |
do things or be productive, feeling like I am | |
running, running, running out of time. Man, I hate | |
that! When I went away, I was removed from this | |
daily pattern so I was able to breathe and just do | |
what was in front of me and that was good enough. | |
Now I feel like I'm back in the rat race and my | |
resistance to it is just wearing me out. Even | |
though I am not working for the time being, part | |
of me feels like I need to jump back in and go. I | |
think I need to re-strategize and find some | |
balance. Something to appease both my human doing | |
and my human being. | |
