Clutch that matey! XVII

Hmm.

Well I can't remember how many times people have asked me the following questions since I came into NYP with my finger(s) all bandaged up and looking as though I served time in Iraq or something:

'Whoa.. what happened?'
'Did the whole finger come off?'
'Why did you cut your finger?'
'How many stitches?'
'So are you okay?'

and last but not least....

'So does it still hurt?'

Yes, yes... I know these questions came more due to sympathy and concern rather than pure ignorance, but I'd hate to admit that I'm now only getting attention from people around because of my injury. Maybe it makes me look more human than usual, or that I do make mistakes, and I am only mortal.

Whatever the case is, I'm just glad that I have pals around me, a blessing from God, who have been understanding and encouraging (although you have to admit that I did most of the joking) and just simply being there. Wished you guys were like this all the time, but I can't expect such things because I know it's not really possible with your busy schedules and demanding datelines. You know who you are, and well your names are on my tagboard.

Oh yeah... Brother Dearest helped me get two out of three of the final albums required for me to finish off completing my AC/DC album collection! He got me 'Highway To Hell' and 'Stiff Upper Lip' and boy, are these albums rockin'!

I also managed to go down to Cash Converters at AMK and I bought 4 CDs for 20 bucks!!! It's a real steal considering they're all in good condition, and those albums I have been waiting to get for quite a while. I purchased Smashmouth's 'Astrolounge', Savage Garden's stelf-titled debut CD, U2's 'Zooropa' and Bob Dylan's 'MTV Unplugged'.

I have to admit that I was very happy as I walked out of Cash Converters especially after I found one acoustic guitar priced at 99 bucks which was the perfect calibre and price for Alvin's desire to own some cheap steel acoustic guitar. Go for it man... it seems pretty good on it's own, although I couldn't try it out for you.

Anyhow, I have some stuff to complete before Sunday afternoon when I meet up with Gerry (whom I affectionately call Brother Bono due to his psuedo-Bono hairstyle) and head on down to Guitar Workshop to check out the Vox amps.


Cheers,
