Damn, so today I got fired from the band I was playing with. It was a 70's tribute/disco band called Boogie Wonderland. I had been with them for almost 2 1/2 years, so it came as a real shock and really messes up what routine I had not to mention my financial situation.
I guess change comes in many forms. They said I wasn't keeping consistent tempos, and that my costume wasn't 70's enough - but underneath I know that is total BS. I am a very solid drummer, have been for over 15 years - and my costume wasn't *totally* 70's but neither were some of the other bandmembers. In any case, I think my life in the music industry is coming to a succint ending. Bad beat, wow.
So maybe poker is the next phase of my life. Joining Sngprotege was certainly a bold step in that direction, and I know the sky is the limit for a hard-working and thinking person in poker. I've been playing music for so long, and it's slowly been dragging me down the past few years because I've fallen into the 'cover band' sinkhole that so many people can fall into. You start playing the same songs in the same bars, weekend after weekend, and then the music just ain't as much fun. Sometimes I would be almost sleeping during "play that funky music" after playing it 1000s of times. All in all, I think this actually a good thing. When would I really have quit if I hadn't been fired? Since the money was so good, I probably would have gone for as long as I could until my poker game exploded - but maybe it was just getting in the way of my game....
Whatev, it's just sad that the band had no decency to grant me even 2 weeks notice and that they lied to me. It's time to move on bitches. 90mans watch out, there will be a pissed ex-drummer shoving and destroying this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
let's set up another coaching soon, every raise you make now will end with 70
