Slightly Mental

Bass, Gym and Other Things

I”m come to the conclusion that bass guitar has something against me. Well, okay, I have something against  it.  I’m so used to double bass that the whole sideways thing freaks me out. Oh, and frets. Anyway, I think I need lessons. In a big. Tried explaining this to mum. She decided that I can have ONE lesson and after that I should be fine. I want to move to her planet, where you can learn an instrument overnight. I can play guns of Brixton by the clash though. Very badly, mind you.

I had to go to gym today. My mum is extremely enthusiastic about gym. She’s developed a “if you don’t go five times a week you’ll get type 2 diabetes and die” attitude.  Which is great if you’re a gym junkie. I however, am not. So when I told her I’d rather stay home and play double bass and then walk to cash converters because it was (at the time anyway) a nice day. She looked at me as if I had grown another head and told me that I could walk to gym if I wanted to. Then she went on a rant about how much easier it is to go to gym without taking me or my sister. When she was the one that made us join in the first place. It’s not like we had a say in the matter. Anyway it resulted in an argument and I ended up having to go anyway. This is the same women who kept saying I didn’t play double bass enough.  Remind me never to become a parent.

I had course counselling yesterday. It was alright. They told me not to do maths. I can’t complain.  Jackson brought a huge folder full of work and reports with him. It’s a fifteen minute interview for god’s sake.

This is my open mind index on last fm for anyone who cares.
