That would be The Clash. High School dayz.
Last night I went to open mic. I wasn't planning on staying though, but just wanted to ask Sunny Taylor a question regarding flyers. I also wanted to post the flyer about the Jason/Sunny show on c2g's bulletin board before her cd release party this Saturday. But... I ended up staying for the whole thing ('til 10). First person I saw when I walked in was Ben Laatsch. How cool is that? He's playing at our church this Sunday. I really didn't want to spend the night there, but I was so glad I got to hear him. He is so awesome. I can't believe he's not famous yet. I think it's only a matter of time. He certainly stole the show last night. Once he started everything just sort of stopped and focused on him. It was cool. And I love his grandpa's old Gibson acoustic.
It was also nice to hear Sunny play several songs. She is so good on stage, but I have to admit... I feel weird talking to her. I get this vibe like she doesn't really wanna talk to me, which makes me doubly uncomfortable. I dunno, I'm glad she's still planning to open for JR later this month. She is an incredible performer/singer/songwriter/guitarist. And she laughs a lot. :)
Miss-e-lany...
Jane made it to the Pavilion Ladies Bible Discussion Group this morning. Kind of a long name, but who gives a ship. Had an older lady start this up. She has endured limited attendance, and I was glad to see several new faces today. I REALLY need some people here who can endure, because I'm no good at it anymore.
It's hard trying to get across to people that I don't want them to be like me. In fact, what a church really needs are people that are NOT like the pastor to assume some responsibility. But I've pretty much given up on trying to get people to assume responsibility. All I do is make people feel bad. I'm just gonna 'do my thang'.
It's wearing me out getting ready for this show at the end of the month. Not that I'm not looking forward to it - I really am. And I think I really do like making the contacts and whatnot. Working with bands and musicians seems to be something that ignites me, but I hate doing the promo stuff. I wish I had someone I could consult, just someone to bounce ideas off of (besides Jane). But... you know... whatever.
My verse for the day from 'Living Water for the Soul' is Proverbs 14:30: "A relaxed attitude lengthens life; jealousy rots it away." The little blurb after it says, "If life hasn't treated us fairly, we may think we have a right to be jealous of others, especially those who have more than we think they deserve. But jealousy only robs us of our inner peace. Be good to yourself -- say no to jealousy and yes to contentment." Good advice. Trying.
