Yeah...about that...

So I jammed some acoustic guitar last night with a couple of friends with the possibility of putting a new band together.  New band, you say?  Yeah.  I used to be in a moderately successful band and I decided to leave the band.  After I left, the band kind of split apart and now two of the former members are putting together another band.  They want me to play guitar in the band.

I said that to say this: I'm not sure if I want to play any more.  I'm in the middle of planning for treating a room in my house to turn into a studio but yesterday I started second guessing myself.  Do I want a studio?  Or do I just like the idea of a studio?  By that I mean, do I just like the process of acquiring gear, building out the room, and owning it and that be it?  Or do I actually want to use it?  I mean, what's the point without a band, right?  If I was just going to do stuff on my own, all I would need would be a little cheap something or other to do personal demos with.  Not the big mess that I'm currently getting myself into.

So, I think I'm going to use this weekend as a reflection time.  I'm all about procrastination and second-guessing myself so I'll likely not reach any conclusions at all.  Instead, I will likely bounce back and forth without making any real decision at all.  Maybe I should wait this project out?  That is, the one with starting a new band.  Maybe I should give it more than just one little jam session.  It went okay.  It could have been way better.  Maybe I'll give it another week or two before I pull a trigger on it.  And until then, I think the studio will go on the back burner.  That will be a subject that I address when I decide on this band.  If I do the band, I will do the studio.  If I don't do the band, I will have some more thinking to do.

On a totally unrelated note, I went into Best Buy yesterday to pick up a couple of Blu Ray movies.  I was hoping they were on sale for $20 each.  But they were $30 each.  $60 for two movies is beyond absurd!  I proceeded to find them on Amazon...BOTH for the same price as I would have paid for ONE at Best Buy.  I'll consider that my small win of the day yesterday.
