computer guy
The other day, I was asked what I do, and I responded "I work in computers." I neglected to mention that I'm a guitarist, or a musician, or that I build guitars, or record music. I completely left out the music element of things entirely. I'm worried because this may be the first step toward full-fledged "computer-guy"-dom, and it may be the last. I may already be a computer guy.
Let's take a look at the facts: I own several routers (for internet), but none for woodwork. I have very strong opinions on powerpoint presentations. I haven't gotten a gig playing music in many months. I get excited about databases. I haven't practiced guitar regularly in many months. My eyeballs hurt.
It's not looking good, folks. So I need you to do me a favor: if you're a friend of mine, and you think I should be pursuing music more actively than I appear to be, let me know. Force me to make new albums. Force me to write a song about you. Get gigs for me and then force me to go play them. And so on.
In related news, the guitar that I started building about a year and a half ago is nearing completion. I'll post some photos... maybe. Maybe I won't. It's got a body and a neck, and the shapes are all there. It just needs some hardware, some finish, some frets, and the baby's good to go. More on that later.
