of Clapton, The Autobiography

Mr. Clapton states:
(and I quote)

“Music will always find its way to us, with or without business, politics,
religion, or any other bullshit attached.
Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present.
It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.”

As I have read his life story,
he affirmed how Music has helped him get by.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again.

Music has never let me down.
It is what keeps me sane and rational.

And even if the music in my life
is not how I wanted it to sound,

I don’t know why,
but I still keep on playing.

I’ll hit that right note eventually.

Wow.
One whole week of no posts.

It must have been one hell of a Birthday Party for me.

And when I say Party,
I meant
staying home,
watching Little Einsteins,
and wallowing in self pity.

No Matter!
Thank you to all for the greet!

Now I better go to bed.
I have to be early at work tomorrow.

Millions of people on welfare depend on me!

So I went to church for Ash Wednesday.

You know?
Wednesday of Ashes?

An “In-your-face” reminder for what we truly are,
what we came from and what we’re going to end up as.

So after the priest imposed the black ash on my forehead,
I came back to my seat.
And there were two old ladies, sitting on my chair.

I have no clue how they would suddenly decide
to take someone else’s seat.
Hoping that no one would notice.

I did not really mind.
I would have given them my seat.

The place was packed,
and finding an empty space in a pew is impossible.
But to steal it just like that is still not right.

Other people around me were wondering what I was going to do,
because they know that that was my seat.

So I just stood there behind them,
and thinking about that day as “Ash Wednesday,”
it showed me what I truly am.

A bitter, angry man who doesn’t like people.

And it just showed me what the people around me truly are.

A bunch of Cous Rouge!

Happy Birthday to Kristine.

My official music manager and distributor.
She campaigned for my music so much,
that she actually listens to them.
Over and over.

In effect,
we were sold out with all of our gigs at rehabs and prison halls.

And for getting me the award for
“Most preferred torture music” to listen to.

All the best to you,
And your loved ones.

Mahal kita.
