I play because I've always felt like I should.. even as a little kid sitting in the back seat listening to a Walkman, I'd hear a solo or a great hook, and store it away in my memory for when I "finally started playing." Well, I finally realized that planning to play isn't the same thing as playing, and have been playing a while now. I just feel like a song can be good when listened to, but becomes a kerjillion (it's a number!) times better when you can actually play it. I love playing more than eating or sleeping... I've gotten all sanctimonious though.("Why are you sitting there wasting your time watching TV? Go make something!") But anyway... to sum it all up I just feel like when I don't have a guitar in my hands I'm wasting my time. And speaking of wasting time... I'm always on the forums while I'm at work! Lol. Stick it to da man!
