But I also need a couple dirt pedals, a reverb, a pitch shifter, maybe a new guitar, maybe a delay...
And then what? More GAS for something else at some point. More excuses to flip the pedals I have for new ones for no real reason. More excuses to focus on gear instead of life.
My ex is probably moving to Baltimore after we divorce. November is the earliest we can get divorced. Plus our kid has dental surgery in October. But the house she's in has bedbugs and she doesn't work, and even if she did she'd never be able to afford a place on her own around here. We can't both work 2 jobs. So we're going to share custody. Her during the school year and me on his breaks. So I'll be here in NC alone for no reason. But I don't want to go to Baltimore. And I hate my hometown. So where do I go? What the fuck am I supposed to do?
So I guess I'll drink beer and watch Dune till I fall asleep on the couch. And then tomorrow is my kid's birthday!
I used to live in Baltimore, have more than a few friends who still live there. There's some cool shit going on. It can definitely be a bit rough, but that's a city with heart.
It's also one of those cities that's not quite like somewhere like NY, where everything cool is just handed to you, so therefore people have to kind of make their own scene... and they have, and it's great. I dunno—maybe I just have a big soft spot for Bmore and think it's worth considering
