If your not living , your dying .

Just Afew random thoughts in this post .I've written a new track that had a natural birth lately , im excited to rehearse with the band. One day I'm hoping I can figure out a recipe for new songs.

As a troubadour , I'm trying to figure this city out. It's an odd mix of gypsies , and transient people. There should be a band from La called California Born Flakes. It's a trend with the creative types here. I've came across so many musicians and actors here and if they set up a jam on this day at this time , that doesn't mean anything really. The day/time just comes and passes and there is no regard for other people. Why would they care ? I seem to have been on the receiving end of late , 1 gtr player & 1 bass player . Pull up. I always wondered, do they garner the same "flakie" tag as I place on them when the tables are turned. It's hard to think somebody wouldn't care that you scheduled a day around them & rehearsing or meeting with them. Especially being new to this city, i dont know alot of people here . So when i make an appointment with someone , i plan my day around it. So if they suddenly disappear without warning, they just leave me hanging .Extremely rude , id rather have the excuse before or even durning then after . It only creates a very bad image ,Just a bit of a vent. I guess there are flaky people everywhere and Karma gets them equally, not just muscians. However for the stand up people of the world, good on you for sticking to your end of a schedule with regards for other people daily agendas. It speaks volumes about character . A-swell if you have to break plans or reschedule , honesty is the best policy. And whatever reason it is, let it be known before the appointment , don't have it come and pass and reach for your excuses book. The flakiness of people I hope wears off, but I'm beginning to not put faith in that. Musicians are giving the good ones a bad wrap.
On another note , after the bass player "disappeared without any phone call or email canceling our appointment (see prior rant regarding cancel before the meeting )I said fuck it , I'm checking a movie out. Since that time I've seen 4 in a row .Pure ghetto La movie style . Buy 1 ticket go to 4. I took a time out to write this post between movie 3-4 . The best part about this was running into a couple of older ladies doing the same thing. Life is funny like that . If your not living, your dying . And I have a lot of living to do before I die. Hopefully no more bowls of California Born Flakes for breakfast . I'm not into wasting time .
