Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock

I'm feeling at a low point these days. For the past couple of weeks the record has been on hold 'cause Ross (the engineer) has been working on some label projects and they do pay the bills. I can't blame him - we're all trying to make a little cash to survive. Unfortunately for me it becomes a waiting game that's at times hard to accept. I like making progress and this record being in a state of limbo is making me anxious and easily excitable. I mean what am I doing in my life? Where the hell am I headed? I feel the time passing while I'm patiently sitting on the sideline trying to convince myself all is okay - it's just temporary. Is it?

In addition I'm having one hell of a time trying to find a bass player. This is crazy! I live in and around New York City where you'd think the talent pool would be quite large. However, bass players are slim pickings and that sucks. I've pretty much been running craig's list ads and perusing the site looking for bass players. So far no luck. I mean we did have a couple of possible prospects however it didn't pan out as planned. Right now I'm thinking life is hard and generally it is.

I need to put up some flyers. Rob and I need to play some acoustic shows. I need to lift my spirits and get drunk - I've actually been doing a lot of that lately. I guess the good news is I'm working with Ross tomorrow on bass and Kristin and I are headed to Jamaica this coming Sunday for nine days. So, at least that's something positive.
