So- I'm commiserating earlier this morning with Brad, a buddy of mine, about the sometimes sorry state of our mutual mentalities, and I find myself doling out advice, feeling a bit like a blind man leading a sightless individual through an obstacle course. Nevertheless, I'm speaking to him about attitude, and how important it is to cop a decent one. He tells me that he notices a change in mine, and suggests that perhaps it is due to the fact that after a couple of months off, my musical buddies and I had a rehearsal last night. I'm not going into the reasons for the musical hiatus- suffice to say that I had felt it necessary to take a step back and perhaps undergo a self-administered radical rectal crainiotomy. You know...... that's the procedure whereby one has their head surgically removed from their ass. Said operation is usually indicated whenever one is engaged in melodramatic self-pity or in taking oneself too seriously. There are various and sundry ways to go about getting over these afflictions, but in my humble opinion, the RRC is almost always fail-safe, and usually works most effectively when I apply the anesthesia of administering service to someone else. Back on point, I have to recognize that there are some creative/productive outlets available to me that stimulate a "feel-good" reaction, and that whenever I deny myself those, my psyche suffers. Comfy shoes help, too. How about these?:
