My Top 5 Songs

Very late this month.  I have been so busy with my job, which has me underpaid and with expectations beyond my job title.  It figures. Worst part is that all the time I spent getting through graduate school is all for not.  I will never use any of that in this stupid admin job that I have.

Things are going OK upstairs in my head. I feel good - I am being very proactive in advancing my guitar skills. The thing is continuing for MONTHS AND MONTHS to really get some impressive aptitude - impressive for MY standards!  I will never be great at guitar.  But I want to create songs, SAY something in them, and write and play music some people will love.
