daydreamingthroughmaryland.
I’m (Darren’s) driver reviver right now. Hot fuss is on, and…I just can’t stop thinking about gig-life vs cube-life. I’m scheduled to get right back to cube-life when I get back from tour and on one hand Im glad to get back and make money and get on with my life. I can afford to do whatever, eat, buy records, scoot, vacation. That’s all what I want right? I’m too old to be wasting time, right? I don’t know what’s the right thing to do, how am I supposed to know either. I’m beginning to ramble.
But what I do know is I miss the sunshine, bike rides, my friends, my family, my vespa and everthing about home, and I didn’t realize any of this fully untill we arrived in Maryland and it was almost 70 out, i got to put on a short sleeve and walk around outside and feel the sun heating up my jeans. I miss it! I think this tour is just what I needed to remind me that I’m alive.
Now, about the other hand. What if there was a way to make money as a gig-lifer? Would THAT be what I want? Probably not, and I say that only because I look at people that are gig lifers and they are just withered and worn out. They want to get home to see their wifes, kids, girl friends, friends and fams.
So I think this little ramble session helped me make up my mind. I’m ready for the cube (for now), and I’m sorry for making you go through this with me.
