I need to take my mind off of Harper and his Conservative cronies. I think I'll go shop for a guitar after work today. An electric acoustic maybe? Braemar and I want to become a Dave & Tim cover duo. Well, you know, it's stoned ambition, so it's something we like to talk about but will likely never do. But I still practice my Dave singing voice just in case. I should really be practicing my guitar playing instead. I have an old (70's) acoustic and a new (mid-90's) electric at home, but I don't really like playing either of them. The acoustic was my mom's and the electric was a birthday present when I was a teenager who played about 10 different instruments. The guitars just don't feel or sound right to me though, so I'm pretty sure at least one of those problems can be fixed by holding and picking out my own instrument. Now I'm pretty excited about going to the store to touch guitars. I don't really know anything technical about guitars, so I'll have to ask for help and advice. If I'm going to do that, I'd better be off to do some research on what it is I want exactly. I hope to actually buy a guitar today. Once I get an idea in my head, I'm all about spending the money now, regardless of affordability. Last week, it took a lot of restraint to not book a flight to Chicago for a couple of days to see a Doughty show. I'm still considering it though. Money. It certainly can buy happiness for those who don't have enough of it. Rich people try to make the lower castes believe otherwise so that we won't get restless and revolt. If I make enough references to revolution, will I finally be able to start one?
