The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

[dubkitty]

so i talked with the guy who's been working on getting me the job. he was ready to pull the plug on the whole thing, but after talking for awhile he said he "felt better about it." how in god's name can you get so misinterpreted that things so important get fucked up? and if this gets fucked up, i'm truly screwed as in "can anyone take me and my cat in cos i have no money and nowhere to go?" screwed.

No human contact all week except for the woman breaking up with me. Gonna head to the bar I guess. It sucks being alone in a city.

That feeling after playing a show where you feel like you didn't do very well.....even though everyone there seemed to enjoy it...

I know that feel... I hate not being able to live up to my standards when I'm playing live.

Literally almost everything I have tried to do today, on my day off, has not worked out as planned. No motivation. Once I get motivated, it seems like the next thing I try to do can't be done for some reason.

The only thing keeping me from losing my shit has been that I have guitars to build, but....

It took me like three days to cut out a pickguard because the the dremel I bought has the sissiest battery life I've ever seen..... I think the guard looks kind of crappy, myself.
I don't have any screws of the right size to mount any of the pickups I have.
I don't have the proper size drill bits to mount tuneomatic bridges, so in the process of trying to mount them, I've cracked the bodies, had to glue them, accidentally filled one of the thimbles full of glue (which I had to then drill out....)

After painting the bodies, I found that one of my girlfriend's hairs had made its way into the paint.....at first I thought it was kind of neat, but then we broke up two days ago.

Feeling lonesome, apathetic, and almost totally directionless right now. Also like I've put so much effort into all these projects and like they're not ever going to actually become what I hoped they would.

I was going to print out a PDF file I got off the internet so that I can finally quick looking at my computer screen, so I went and bought paper. Aaaaannnd, it won't let me print it Seriously, every little thing is fucking me today.

Fuck.

I feel you duder. Especially on the guitar things. It just seems like I keep having to wait to put this baritone together for various reasons. Fucked up drilling the control plate and scratched it, but luckily once a knob is over where it is scratched you wont be able to see it.

My drill batteries are starting to go. Which is great, you know, since I drill out enclosures every day

Hang in there broham!!

[gunslinger_burrito]

Thanks dude. I'm ceaselessly boggled by how the don't just make these things with a fucking chord you can plug into the wall.

Oh, and to add to the list, I am constantly getting phone calls from comcast because they think I still have equipment at my previous address. I've updated my account, spoken to like three agents, chatted with agents a few times about it, and I'm still getting calls. I'm going to lose it if this shit keeps up. Fucking morons.

[gunslinger_burrito]

So I literally just spent like 6 hours working on one of those guitars..... got it all wired up, working mostly right..... strung it up, and for some reason the intonation is an entire note off. I physically cannot move the saddles of the bridge far enough to get anywhere close to correct. I feel like smashing the fucking thing right now.

Kate broke up with me Friday. She won't talk to me now. When we did talk, she made it clear that she was just unable to handle the stress that's been in my life, and that it's not me, and that maybe eventually we can be together again. So, I guess I just have to get my life fixed and try to get her back.

This is shit.

I'm not changing my facebook status on it, though. I don't know. I just don't want to feel like I'm giving up, if that makes sense. If she says something, I'll change it. I'd like to hear anything from her at this point, to be honest.
