new age thought
sittin' on the crapper earlier, going thru my pre-jam ritual of trying to clear out my headspace, was thinkin' about how i haven't practiced gtr this wk and how much better it was last wk when i had. then it occurred to me that i donwanna get better at playing gtr more than i wanna get better at _living_. it must be this "relaxing music for sleep" i borrowed from andre, talking.

i'm kinda of two minds about that whole thing. on the one hand, i really do believe that "less is more" -- i like the manifestations of an uncluttered thought process. that said, the more facility you possess, the more expressive you can be -- it's like having a bigger vocabulary. it's just that it's not necessary to deploy it indiscriminately (like ppl who seem to wanna use every word they know in every sentence). these skills are tools of communication, not an end in themselves.
my real isu w/prac isn't philosophical, tho. i'm just lazy. and i get tired of listening to myself play.
