Wow. I only worked an eight hour day today. That's nice, and it would've been even nicer if the job wasn't an hour and a half drive away from the crib, but still...

I got home today still "feeling my oats". I pulled up my Fantasy Football League site shortly after I arrived, only to discover that I was still ranked number 1 of the group after the Monday night games. Needless to say I was absolutely shocked. I've never played any type of "Fantasy" sports before in my life, and
(due to my hurted eyeball and work schedule) I was unable to make any changes to my roster before the games were played, so my team had a running back (you can pick two) and my tight end did not even play at all this weekend. Still and all, I was Numero Uno in the group that I'm competing against. Sweet!

As I was checking out the stats and such, I decided to pull up my WinAmp and listen to a few tunes while I was surfing. I was listening to a tune that I haven't enjoyed in quite awhile... and I was inspired. I actually got my guitar out of its case. I've not even held the damn thing in pushing six months, but something told me to get it out and try again. After I tuned it up, I cued up the song that I'd been previously jammin' on.

Lord God! I suck. I couldn't remember which chords comprised the song I wanted to play. This used to be a tune that was "good". ("Good" equates to any song I can actually play. "Horrible Tunes" are generally played by Lindsay Buckingham, Eric Clapton, and Warren Zevon.) After scratching through every piece of paper in the goddamn house, I finally found one that had the Chord Progression on it ( I knew it was HERE, I just didn't know WHERE), and after a few "play through's" I finally got it again.

I'm an awful guitarist, but I still Love the instrument, and I am pleased when I can make the noises that I wish, emenate from it.

Damn.

I need to Practice.
