My band got written about in a magazine. I'm beyond happy.

Finally back at it. It feels like forever since I've played but I saw it on sale on Steam.

@blitziod @ellonico I agree with this, but we have to keep in mind that Scandinavian prisons are only so effective because people are taken care of outside of the prisons as well. The social programs on the outside ensure that nobody is committing crimes out of desperation.

Life is awesome

Holy hangover. Fuck.

Just started a rock band after playing exclusively jazz (or jazz-adjacent) music for the past two years. It's been hard as fuck to relearn playing with distortion (among other effects).

Double upper decky after tolerance break hits different.

Getting assigned research papers kind of blows. But I'm so glad I'm doing that instead of being stuck in my hometown. I'll write a million research papers so I don't have to live there for my entire life.

Watching losers I used to know fail out of college is awesome. It's not even that hard to pass. Just put in the tiniest amount of effort.

The feeling of making money for playing/teaching music never gets old. Like, you're telling me you want to pay me $200/hour play pop country music? Or you want to pay me $500 to add guitar to some beats you have laying around?

This college shit is fire. Another W.

[Alek Maschmidt @shred_g0d]

I'm so stoked for my headphones to come.

[Alek Maschmidt @shred_g0d]

@wind_walled Probably going to go out of business soon. Their entire inventory can be found cheaper online.

I go to a college 50 minutes from the area and don't plan on living in the area forever. So they can't do shit.

I haven't been on in forever, but I can hop on after this gig at 7!

People just be making stuff up to make stuff up. You're not tough. You just belong in a ward because you can't function properly in public.

[Alek Maschmidt @shred_g0d]

Anyways, Friday gig was insane. Some of the most money I've made for a non-wedding gig.

@becometheknight @WhickTv It's a matter of correlation rather than causation. The spike in mental illness is happening everywhere. Trans people are just being used as a scapegoat. Something larger is happening here.

Have you met a trans person? If not, I hope you do. It may change your perspective.

[Alek Maschmidt @shred_g0d]

@becometheknight @WhickTv How is this obtuse in the slightest?

[Alek Maschmidt @shred_g0d]

Was at this con thing and had a vision of a booth. Selling instruments, gear, etc with custom designs. It'd be sick.
