So...
After some fun with a bad back, and an even more difficult practice regiment, I seemed to finally hit bottom. I usually drown myself in the sound of Tim's drums and my bass, but fuck...last night! God Damn! I'm just trying to get across some sound, so people can have a good night...it could be like everything else...but yet...I know that I could have done more. I need to play with the bass higher up. I know, it really doesn't matter for looking cool if I can't really get the notes. Oh well.

There's got to be something that I can do that will pay me to do the things that I do best...maybe I'll figure that out later.

The Cutters save the day again. I've been feeling that old sameness feeling with my playing, and last night, that all went away. We ran through "There's a reason," and the song just washed away all the cobwebs. I feel like we're going to make some kind of difference, in that way that cries for change.

So every time I find myself alone with a bass, I can't seem to come up with anything new. It's as though I haven't really covered the things that I need to. It's almost like my hands are telling me something that my ears cannot. Where can I go to guide myself away from the same old lines?
