Routine

First off, people start leaving for college in the next few days. I leave in about 2 weeks, and it's sort of freaking me out. Not like I'm scared, or worried, it is just weird. I am not a worried person at all, so I'm pretty chill about it all, but I got a pretty good thing going here and now I'm leaving it behind. I will be stepping out of my comfort zone, like numerous preachers have told me in the past year or so, and I always thought about college, now here it comes.
This might clear my thoughts up for people. I like going on vacations and stuff, I am fine with traveling and what not, but I really like the daily grind. I like having a routine. Heck, I have a routine for the shots I take practicing bball.(25 swished form shots, 5 swish baseline jumpers, 5 elbow turnaround jumpers, etc). I'm not worried about breaking the routine, but I like the routine. So that is what I want at college. I would almost rather just skip orientation stuff so I can get into having a new daily schedule. Note:groove is probably a better word for what I want, routine makes it sound like I label my underwear by the days of the week or something crazy like that.
So if you haven't seen, the Cars came out with a new CD after 24 years. I only know this because of the Colbert Report, I am not a Cars fan by any means. But I got to thinking, why don't more bands keep making music?  I understand keeping a bands legacy, so people could go solo or go under a different name, but really, music isn't like other careers where you are supposed to stop once you get the money to retire or whatever. It's art. Don't you make art basically till you can't anymore? I have my doubts about old musicians completely running out of material... it doesn't work like that. I mean, if you made it big, you don't even have to tour anymore, you can just release the album. This seems strange to me.
I am trying to work on a bit of piano, just so that I can play a little bit. You know the bit, I'd like to be acceptable at it. It's just not enough to be the guy who plays the guitar and sings, I'd like to be a more well rounded musician. I think it is funny how that has changed for me overtime. I played piano for two years when I was little then I was like I want to play guitar, piano sucks. In different language of course, I was like 10. Now I do love guitar, and still think it is cooler than piano, but piano is pretty sweet in its own right. (I would throw drums in there, but what little boy doesn't want to play drums. You can hit them hard and they make loud noises.)
Eh, I'll keep the blog shorter for today, so that's all.
