"Have you not done tormenting me with your accursed time! It's abominable! When! When! One day, is that not enough for you, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you?"

This Time
 
 Lookin’ back on my life
Lookin’ back on my life
You know that all I see
You know that all I see
Are things I could’ve changed
Are things I could’ve changed
I should have done
I should have done
Where did the good times go?
Where did the good times go?
Good times so hard to hold
Good times so hard to hold
This time, this time
This time, this time
This time I’m gonna find
This time I’m gonna find

Lookin’ back on my life

You know that all I see
Lookin’ back on my life
Are things I could’ve changed
You know that all I see
I could have done
Are things I could’ve changed
No time for sad lament
I could have done
A wasted life is bitter spent
No time for sad lament

A wasted life is bitter spent
So rise into the light

In or out of time

Gonna rise straight through the light
So rise into the light
In or out of time
In or out of time

Gonna rise straight through the light
Woke up one other day
In or out of time
The pain won’t go away

I am growing

In peculiar ways
Woke up one other day
Into a light I pass
The pain won’t go away
Another dream, another trance
I am growing
This time, this time
In peculiar ways
This time I’m gonna rise into the light
Into a light I pass
In or out of time
Another dream, another trance

This time, this time
Gonna find my way in life
This time I’m gonna rise into the light
In or out of sight
In or out of time
I’m still seeing things in black and white

Gonna rise straight into the light

In or out of sight
Gonna find my way in life

In or out of sight
I’m gonna see the light
I’m still seeing things in black and white
I’m gonna see the light
Gonna rise straight into the light
I’m gonna see the light
In or out of sight

’cause I know there is time

There is time
I’m gonna see the light
There is time
I’m gonna see the light
There is time
I’m gonna see the light
There is time

There is time

There is time
’cause I know there is time
There is time
There is time
This time, this time
There is time
This time, this time
There is time
This time, this time
There is time
This time, this time
There is time
There is time
There is time
This time, this time
This time, this time
This time, this time
This time, this time  -

  "It was for the glory of it and a way out of dreary old day-job land. That wasn't for me, the music gave me a motivation.”  Joe Elliott
 "Take off your hat to your yesterdays; take off your coat for your tomorrows." -  Proverb

 Surely there comes a time when counting the cost and paying the price aren't things to think about any more. All that matters is value - the ultimate value of what one does.” - James Hilton

Easily, playing in a band LIVE was one of the top 10 experiences I have ever had the opportunity to be connected with (and I have had quite a few).  It was indeed, what I hoped it would be and more.  

Played satisfactorily, small crowd of people I didn't know (except for Lisa, Sarah and Dustin), and the adrenalin of a live performance (no 'do-overs' as the boys used to say).  When we got to the last song and I had passed the hard parts and were in the final moments and I knew I had it nailed and was going to achieve the personal goal I had set for myself...I actually looked up into the audience at Lise (filming, thank you very much) and SMILED.  Then, I let myself enjoy the moment.  It doesn't get any better.

“The infinite is in the finite of every instant.”  - Zen Saying

 

   "Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein." - H. Jackson Brown
  Note to ponder:  Hearing can be apparently over-corrected like vision.  I had my hearing aids "toned down' today - more bass, less treble.  Every little movement of paper shuffling, silverware clinking, ripping off a sheet of paper towel, etc. was magnified.  At first it was merely interesting, like a magic show...but too much is just that - too much.  
My son and personal IT staff, Dustin has been saving me loads of frustrated TIME.  All the little, seemingly simple, IT tasks that I could probably have figured out "eventually" (if I didn't smash them first) were piling up because I was reluctant to invest the TIME to get them resolved, are now nearing completion.  Devices I was set to throw in the trash, because -since I couldn't get them to work- they must be broken - are magically working just fine now.

“No use thinking of the past for its gone, don't think of the future because it has to come, think of the present because that’s where you are”.   - Kazi Shams

Very foggy and cold this morning.  Has been this way all week.

I actually had a preliminary conversation about retiring today at my work.  Although it is a long way off: 2012 or 2013, it is yet another time capsule measurement.  Since I wish to maximize my retirement, I will need to finish the work years strong.  Added motivation for maximum income.

Started practicing tonight on my song set for my rock debut in April… will be the best three of these five songs:

“Smoke on the Water” -  Deep Purple

“I - IV - V in A – Blues ”  Traditional Blues Riff  (My favorite)

“Midnight Hour”   - Wilson Picket



Three months out and I NEED MORE TIME!! – HA.  Practice - Practice - Practice

“Use the present wisely; the future will get here soon enough.”  R.L. Welton
