waking up

Some days are more difficult than others.  Some are easier.  Some days you wake up in the morning feeling like you're ready for a new day.  Like there are things to be done and opportunities to be seized.  Other days it feels like there's no point to even going outside.  But the sad truth is every day there are things to be done and opportunities to be seized.  Even on days when you can't seem to get out of bed and step into the shower.  Then those days are just wasted and you feel even worse.

Today is one of the difficult days.  I found myself this morning sitting naked on the floor next to my bed strumming on my guitar trying to create something.  Anything.  It doesn't even matter if it's beautiful or coherent.  Just trying to create something that sounds reasonably good.

Then I go back to my bed and lay down for a bit under the covers.  I go back to the bathroom and take my vitamins and then head back to my bed.  All the while the water is running and is heated, of course. So I sit next to my bed and grab my guitar.  It feels cold on my thigh and stomach but it warms up pretty quick.  I pluck out a few nice sounding notes and then finally get up and go to the shower.  This is the most boring dogshit blog post ever.  I hope someone fucking kills me on the way home today.

     I feel like things have finally been going well.  These days I don't feel as lost as I used to. I wake up each day and I look at my...
