As most of you know, I have recently turned another year older...crap.
But I will say this though, I was given something that I hold very near and dear to my heart. Anyone that knows me knows that I am in love with music. Second to Brandie, Music runs a nip-on-her-ass contest...
I pawned off my guitar back in July of last year when I was still living in Los Angeles, all for 125 bucks so I could get down to San Diego and back to see her for the first time since we were supposed to of said our good bye's on Hollywood Blvd. That was in feb. of last year....
That's another story for another day..and I have to think of a good way to nutshell it so it's not so damn long....
Well, my birthday was on June 8th and Brandie and our room mate Tonja went to TGI Fridays for dinner. Brandie had been stressing all week about weather or not I would like what she got me...so after we had our initial drinks, she shoved me off the seat and scooted out and told me to close my eyes and no peaking.... I did just that when I saw her walking back towards the restaurant from the car.
I heard her walk up to the booth, and she said "Ok, open them now!" And standing before me in a nice shiny new box was a Fender Accoustic that came with tuner, gig bag....a few pics, and a really cheap strap.....(That can always be fixed later though) and an extra set of strings...
I was asked by her that when we got home after having our cake there, if I would play it. Hell you don't have to ask me twice with something like that...he he...
So when we got home, I pulled it out, tuned it by ear and played. It must have sounded even more beautiful to her because there was tears coming down her face....Or maybe, just maybe..she was crying because she knew she had given me the greatest gift of all...the gift of music.
I will post a pic of it soon up here, I promise. Absolutely kick ass guitar...
HOLLA!
