As the new bathroom project comes to an end ( Jeannie and I should finish grouting tile tomorrow). We are returning back to normal. Well as normal as it can be. I mean come on I am playing music in bars and restaurants, and according to national geographic we live in the happiest town in the united states! Which really puts pressure on you to be happy. I mean if you aren't happy in the happiest town in the US what hope do you have to be happy anywhere else! Luckily we are very happy and so thankful for our lives. My life has taken an interesting turn I am realizing that most of my interaction with other is from behind a microphone.
Everyday is spent pretty solo. Breakfast , then trying to figure out some house hold chores to do to make Jeannie happy and feel loved, workout or some kind of exercise, then music somewhere. It is awesome don't get me wrong! I love what I do and it is so amazing to do something again that I feel like I am good at. I am a people person and love interacting with others and you would think I would get recharged performing, and I do but behind the mic is a lonely spot. You aren't really spending time with anyone. I am playing songs for them and then people clap for me which is always kind of weird, but I guess it is more weird if they don't :). what most people don't realize is I can either hear their conversations or kind of read their lips and figure out what they are talking about so I am also part of this weird reality show. Where else can you just stare and someone and listen to their conversation and then they clap for you and tip you a couple bucks. I get to see first dates. I get to watch guys get up the nerve to talk to or hit on a girls and then either get rejected or hit it off. I have watched too many people drink too much and make fools of themselves. I have seen so many lonely people have a drink and just sit at the bar for hours so they can at least be near people. I have heard people debate politics and religion and have wanted to comment on the mic out loud about what they are talking about. It is fascinating!
I realized that so many of us are isolated even though we are surrounded by people. If we take the time to reach out to others and share lif with others it makes life a little more worth whille. ( at least that is what my fortune Cookie says:)
more philosophical then funny today, thanks for reading my blog.
until next time my friends.
