Mr. Pauley

I’m kinda pissed right now.  Fuck the system.  There’s a song by System Of A Down that bears that name.  I just feel that we’re trying as a whole to get people to agree with the ideals of a very small group of people that think a certain way, and it’s just not right.  There is an enormous amount of love out there in the world.  And everyone has their jam.  Everyone has something that they do.  Some people are good at math, some people are good at building carborators.  Some people are good at meeting people and arranging parties.  Like my mom.

I teach, and it’s hard.  How to tell a rock to care about being a stick?  You know what I mean?  If I had been told not to study music at a young age, I don’t know what I would have done.  I don’t think it would have been tolerated.  In some way or another I, or my parents, or my friends, or my sisters, we would have had me plaing and getting better at music.  So did the system get me down?  Fuck no.  Could it ever have?  I doubt it.  I was put here, in some small way, or a larger way, to play music.  And write music.  And talk about music.  And ________ music.  You know?  God wants me playing music.

Byt the way, I’m fucking good at it.  Like, really good.  I’m an excellent singer, I’m an excellent bass player, I write fantastic songs, I have an incredible band, I’m an excellent bandmate, and anything else you can think of.  That’s what I do.  Words don’t describe the love I have for music.  That’s why I’m good and why I know I’m good.  Because I love it.  Everything I do with music in some way or another is driven by love.

And really isn’t that we all should be striving for?  I sure hope so.

Buy my shit!
