D-Day wrote:HI GUYS! I've been away mostly on account of tragedy. The first minor tragedy is I blew up my Bassman 135. We were sound checking at the Croc and when I flipped it on it went "fizz fizz fail". Two fizzes and nothing. I had to use the backup amp that night which is a Lab Series L4. Which is a great amp to cart around as a backup amp IN THEORY. It sounds so good when you don't actually need it. But on stage it drove me nuts. So anyway I got the Fender back to the space and then I couldn't make it fuck up. It worked fine. So then came our first practice after the failure. I went in the room by myself and was crankin up all over the place. It sounded great. So the rest of the guys came in and on the very first note we hit my amp gave a flash and a cloud of really harsh smoke. So I went back to the L4 and it was just fucking with my head. I mean I'm told we sounded just fine the night I had to play that thing but it just doesn't get me all zenned up 'n shit. So I broke out the big gun. That's right, Super Lead Overdrive to the rescue. For some reason I didn't bother to take the time to get the Ape Blaster to sound right with it before. And it sounded so instantly right with the Bassman I just figured I'd go that route and put the SLO up for awhile. Well this has all been a blessing in disguise because now I have the Ape Blaster dialed in PROPER on the clean channel which still leaves me the unadulterated drive channel so instead of just dirty and clean I get two dirties and a clean! The two channels share the EQ so I got real lucky. Basically I use the pedal/clean most of the time. Sometimes we kick off the fuzz and get mellow and then afterwards kick it back on to crush beards and melt vaginas. So now when I kick it back on I use the overdrive channel and it's just this tiny fraction deeper sounding which lends a smidgen of triumphantness to a heavyass outro. It's the best I've ever sounded and that of course brings the band up a little too. I'm pretty fucking happy about this 'tragedy' or at least I will be until I get the repair bill on the Fender.

But the other tragedy is pure suck and it's a bring down every fucking day since. My main dog Marco died. One day he's having like a double size walk and the next he stopped eating. Five days later he died of his own accord. Everybody likes their dog the best but even amongst my dogs this dude was special. He was the mellowest animal I ever knew. I don't think it's even possible to have another like him.

She sees beyond confidence, which for most is just an outward demonstration of one small side of them, and cares about the finer details that make me who I am. Some people are confident in the truest sense. They believe in themselves as humans and are true to who they are no matter what they're doing or who they're with. Others are confident because they're practised at it. They're not reflecting their deepest personality traits. They're just more suave and sophisticated than they really are deep down. They just know what to say. But no one is truly James Bond deep down. Even Bond has issues.

It's a famous cliché: 'If you love someone then you'll let them go.' No. If you love her you'll find a way to be with her. If you love someone, you're in love with the idea of you as a couple. You can envision yourself with her. For some this can be frightening, but for others it's revelatory. You might have to find that feeling of revelation before you can either try and get her back (but obviously without hurting anyone) or move on and attempt to find another perfect girl, because there is always more than one perfect girl. Always. Find confidence in your feelings. Accept them and trust them. She might notice this and see your determination as deeply endearing and attractive.
