hey, let's have band practice despite eric (guitar and vocals) having a major handicap! fun fun fun!

really they only came over to see how i was doing/feeling, etc. etc. etc, but i insisted we play while i suffer through it. numerous times they stopped and told me that it was stupid and/or crazy to play like that. numerous times i ignored the warnings that i was contorting my face and body in order to accomodate a cast and intene and burning pain while playing. most of our songs are too complicated to play with one finger. we managed to actually make it through five or so songs before i was on the verge of physical and emotional breakdown and collapse.

i am a war machine.

i decided that i should sit at the drums. this started out as a good idea, until i hit the boken finger on the rim of the snare.

stupid.

so i took out the bass and insisted that we make a new song. jason(the drummer)'s guitar was missing the high e string so i gave him the only string i had extra which was a b string i think. so we made up a song with two bass lines and a guitar with the high e string tuned to b, but an octave lower, if you follow me. we pretended we are actually musicians while doing this so that we could pull off the ultimate ruse on anyone who hears it. i'm working on lyrics to be tracked over later.

i'm still shocked that i could write an entire song while using only one finger.
