I am hoping, this weekend, to shoot my Squier Affinity Strat setup video, and spend a lot of time on it. For those long-suffering readers and viewers who’ve stuck around with me over the years, I do appreciate it. But I’ve had, in the past three weeks, a death in the family, a vacation, and an out of town web development conference, in addition to the usual craziness that constitutes my life. So I just wanted to drop a note saying that I’m really looking forward to shooting more videos, but for the second week in a row, there’s nothing scheduled to go up on either the budgetguitarist or budgetkeyboardist YouTube channels. Sometimes life happens.
It’s always tricky when bad and good things happen at the same time. Losing a family member is horrible. Going on vacation is wonderful. How to balance them? When we lose people, we feel shitty. But we do need to remember that each day we have on this planet is important, because we only get so many of them. And while it’s tempting to want to “fast forward” over the bad stuff, to paraphrase John Mayer, you don’t want to wish away the majority of your days. So I’m sad, but I’m enjoying my life to the extent that I can. Travel is fun. Working on guitars is fun. Making videos is fun.
Hmm. Not super deep, but it’s my thoughts at this moment in time.
