What Does It All Mean, Man???

These days, i don't really plan anything. I just take what comes down the line. I might be in a band on Monday. I might just walk away from it on Tuesday. I might ride off into the desert for a couple of days...even i don't know...but whenever i detect something or someone fake, or the ridiculous drama begins, i just kinda check out, ya know what i mean???

My trip to the desert, to film scenes for a video with members of 'Outfall' on January 22, really changed me.

While work was done on the video project, we spent a lot of time exploring and sighseeing, even crossing the plains east of Atloia, in a Rubicon, culminating in a visit to The Husky Monument at night.

Following my return, i bought a dirt bike and began a series of 200+ mile rides through the open desert.

For me, this was a return to the motorcycle hobby and not a brand new thing.

A few weeks later, i amicably resigned from the band 'Fire Control,' that i had started with the vocalist over 2 years ago and accepted an offer to join Soloman Grundy.

About the same time, my PC crashed and i lost ALL of my music - finished and unfinished originals and covers - and this really took the wind out of my sails so to speak.

So, now i am attached to only two bands - one is a studio/recording only band (Outfall) and the currently unnamed 80's/90's/Dance project in which we all sing and play more than one instrument.

What's funny - or ironic in some ways - is that all i want to do these days is ride motorcycles. I find myself - for the first time in my life - really having to force myself to devote time to practice.

Problem is, motorcycle riding doesn't earn me any money and playing music does.

When i go to a rehearsal now, i am always happy to see bandmates and to play, despite my initial, internal conflict over wanting to spend the day riding out through the desert.

Anybody think I'm totally insane??? Or, is this a normal thing????

The part of life I've been able to decipher inficates that this is normal. I used to live for sailing, I even lived full time on a boat for several years. Now I just want to play guitar. I suck at it bit still want to do it :BH:
As long as I think I keep inproving it's fun.
