Happy "hump day" guys and gals. A big time win for my softball team last night. Going into the game we were tied with The Score for second place in the league at (6-2). We played the first place team Jack FM who was (7-1) and beat them in "walk-off" fashion 6-5. Now all three teams (us, The Score, Jack FM) are tied for first place in the league at (7-2) with one regular season game remaining before the playoffs. I was a solid 2 for 3 from the dish with 2 RBI's (pedestrian). Not sure how the tie-breakers are going to work this mess out, but I wouldn't want to play us as we've won six games in a row after a terrible (1-2) start to the season. I love softball. Yes (in Hawk's voice only).
As I predicted in yesterday's entry, the Cubs ended up losing last night to the Astros. The problem is, if you would've told me that they (the Cubs) were going to score six runs and have Roy Oswalt leave the game with an injury after pitching an inning and two thirds, I'd probably have chalked up a victory for the Northsiders. Well, what can you do? Big bounce back day today as Randy Wells takes the bump and tries to win game three of four in the series.
As I told you last week, I'm heading into the studio tomorrow to record an EP that I've written this summer. I'm bringing ten songs, but I haven't decided how many of them are actually going to make the record. When you write your own songs, naturally you love all of them for what they are, and in their own way. But that doesn't matter. You can love everything that you create (songs/paintings/dumps), but if no one else thinks very much of them, it doesn't mean a whole lot (I'm talking to you Randy Marsh...South Park, not the umpire). I'm just going to bring in these ten songs, and let the guys that I'll be working with have a LOT of input on what they consider to be the "recording worthy" tracks of the bunch.
I must admit that I'm very excited about this, but also extremely nervous. I've always been a pretty confident person in every aspect of what I've done (I know that I sound like an assclown for saying that), but since it's been so long since I've shared my music with someone else, I'm pretty scared about the entire process. With that being said, I do think that it's good and very important to get out of your "comfort zone" every once in awhile with whatever it is that you do. There's absolutely NO way that anyone can grow by doing what's comfortable to them everyday. There are so many people, in every walk of life, that take NO chances with what they do, and work the SAME job for 30 years with NO possible advancement (I guess that kind of security isn't a terrible thing...but I'll continue anyway with or without you) and eat at the SAME restaurant once a week, and NEVER travel anywhere, and just stay in their little BUBBLE for an entire lifetime. THAT'S NOT LIVING! Put yourself into an uncomfortable position from time to time. Do something that you've always wanted to do. If you want to skydive...what are you waiting for? If you hate the way that your boss runs things and you want to start your own business and run it "your way"...you should've quit YESTERDAY. If you've always wanted to go to Australia...just spend the money and do it (I hear that it's glorious). If you hate your office job and have always wanted to be a writer/musician/artist, please don't waste any more of your repetitive life. Quit the cubicle, and TAKE A CHANCE! I know that it's cliche', but you ONLY LIVE ONCE. (You'll wait forever if you think that there's reincarnation/heaven/judgment day/or any other stupid tradition that people try to force on you...stop waiting, cause it ain't coming).
There are always going to be naysayers when it comes to stuff like this. Generally, it's called ENVY. No matter what, there will always be a group of people that spend their lifeless days trying to bring those that are actually trying to do something "out of the norm" with their lives down to their pathetic level. These turds are inevitable. They exist like parasites around those who don't subscribe to their "cookie cutter" way of doing things. People are always envious when someone actually grows/has the balls to get out of the "rat race" and try something that they've always wanted to do even when it defies all aspects of logic. No one likes "punching the clock" at a job that they hate, in a town that they despise, while not tasting a drop of any of the possibilities that are actually out there for all of us. So naturally, they want to try and pull you down into what it is that they deal with on a day to day basis...their scummy lives. DON'T let these FOOLS bother you for a second.
To kind of wrap this entire entry up into a pretty red bow...99% of us want to do something with our lives that is "outside of the box" and not an "average Joe" way of traveling this road. Only 1% of us actually make it happen.
Which percentage do YOU fall into?
Hit me up on facebook or in the comments section of this blog. I'll be in the studio all day, everyday from tomorrow through Saturday so you won't hear from me until Monday (you'll live a FEW days without "Webby Files" won't you?) Right now I'm listening to "Please, Please, Please Let Me get what I Want" by The Smiths. Maybe my all-time favorite band. Drinks of choice: ice water...drank WAY too much last night for Jeffy's birthday.
Get out there and be somebody (one of the WORST cliches of all-time).
