but then i remember that i hate democrats. i hate republicans. i hate the government and i hate the war.

i could so fall in love with a guitarist. it would be so easy…because i’m practically rendered helpless after a few skillfully plucked notes. just a puddle of goo…it’s shameful, really.
but i can’t help it…i love guitar, i love it so hard i’m not even gonna try and hide it. i can’t, actually — i tried once.
but the thing is, i don’t want to date a musician (again); because the more i think about it the less i feel like i’m totally lusting after whoever’s playing the instrument of my desire (see also: les claypool, slash & aaron lewis), and more like i’m totally swooning over the guitar itself.
there are, of course, exceptions. jimi hendrix rockin’ out on a 1954 les paul custom is just so orgasmically awesome that i need to take a moment to breathe and savor that…
…
…
…
yeah…it’s that good.
and we all know i’ll forever have a special place in my heart specifically for gavin rossdale. guitar + guitarist/singer sandwich i would love to be in the middle of (except how do you wash off the gwen stefani?).
those are exceptions.
but no matter how much i love aaron lewis, i don’t get nearly excited over him as i do his guitar. and the numerous bass players that are just too fucking cool for school. some of those mofos are sad sacks of ugly — with talent of the gods! — yet i love them anyway. but more and more, i love their guitars more than them. if that makes sense.
there’s not quite anything that gets me all breathless & excited like walking into guitar center and gently plucking a finely-tuned 12-string. or fingering a killer bass. acoustic, electric…they all have a special place in my heart…and i want them.
i want them so bad.
so much more than i want anyone who plays them.
and while musican’s are nice…or rather, guitarists. and there’s something to be said about the strong hands one gets from endlessly playing chords & such (ahem)…none of that is as exciting to me as the guitar.
the smooth neck, the frets, the taut strings, pickups & finish.
i want it.
i want it now.
(and i still want to learn to actually play something other than the random noises i make, but i also kind of feel like that could be a little too…intimate?)
or really, what i should do is stop going to guitar center’s website.
maybe.
some days, everything sucks and then it just sucks harder the next day. some days, the hours drag by like roadkill half smeared on the asphalt & still twitching. some days, the whole gang goes out for drinks & fancy dinner & more drinks and it is awesome.
i can honestly say i love hanging out with my coworkers. isn’t that fucking weird? if i think about it, it’s fucking weird…but when i’m doing it it feels fine cuz they’re all genuinely awesomely nice people. and we have fun, and we drink a shit ton.
i wasn’t even expecting it last night (sorry, boy!) but a dude came down from the chicago office for the week and we had a lil send off for him. even with our drunken carousing, though, we’re pretty chill.
also, chicago co-worker’s middle name is elrond. like, the motherfucking elf king! BWAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! omg, i love it! although his older brother’s middle name is gandalf so they obviously loved him more. hee!!!
i may never get over this.
