JUST MUSING....

Ah, the joys of being an unemployed homeless street musician, sharing computer space with a bunch of rude pigs.

Yes, even as nice as the San Jose main library is, and it is extremely nice, it never ceases to amaze me what kind of behaviour one sees here. Between the grunts, the belchs, and the various neandrathals (sp?) that let the world know how their mucus membranes are doing...

Anyhowz.... again, I prepare for the start of another weekend. To see if the right wing idjits destroy my business tonite, if the crowd is even half way generous, and the debate as to wether to play farmers market tommorrow AM occupies my mind, on occasion.

To those that say, "Well, go play somewhere else" or the people that insist on parking next to me, and wait for conversation, or just the general annoyances out there, to you......

WHAT I DO

You may ask, "what the hell do you do for a living ?" which I may very well respond "None of your frickin business", but since you asked, and I'm in a typing mood....

I'm a street musician, working different areas of downtown San Jose.
First off, let me say, if you're even remotely related to me, which only applies to a small handful of people, DO NOT come find me.... I don't want to see or hear from any of you!

I play a mix between pop, rock, and jazz.... From Beatles, to Herbie Mann, to movie pieces. It's a profession that's serving me well, usually.

There are those days where the 'passer bys' are incredibly cheap (like today) and I almost make enough to eat.... Then there are the other days, that allow me to earn enough to go hit the 'EZ8' motel, to shower, and pig out, and watch the idiot box.

The people and entities that step on my gig though.... Lets see... Besides the cheap assholes, that are just cheap, we have the right wing religious zealots. Nothing screws up my business more than some religious lunatics screaming their hate message.

Today, at this moment, theres two groups that I find repulsive and not worth their weight in dog crap.... The cheap shits, and the religious zealots.... take your pick.... assholes are assholes....

So.... the answer to your question, "what do you do".... I get up in the morning, I make noise, go to the library, make more noise, then go sleep.... exciting? Hell no. Does it work for me. Yes.
