Rock Star

18 January 2001


This morning on the lightrail, I finally figured life out. I want to be a rock star. I admit that I really do not play anything. I played the drums for 6 years but I'll be honest, I sucked. I absolutely was not coordinated to carry the rhythm. There were times when I was ok. But overall I should have just given up.

I used to be able to sing. I am not sure what happened but I just cannot anymore. Like I woke up and the voice I had in the morning was not the same one I went to sleep with. And to make matters worse people scare the shit out of me.

Bassists are always really sexy. I mean Nathen Maxwell of Flogging Molly, D'Arcey who used to be with Smashing Pumpkins, and Melissa Auf Du Mar who is now. Those are sexy bassists. I want to learn to play the bass. So at like the Grammies and the MTV music awards I can mingle with the other bassists and talk technique. Like whether or not you should place your right foot or your left on the monitor to give the 15 years old in the crowd the biggest hard on. Because after all, that is what really sells records.

Yeah, I want to be a rock star
