Life,death,music and cigarettes


The past few weeks have been extremely hard on the emotions.I went to Aitutaki to experience my roots...
only to return to the death of my beloved grandmother...
then I got kicked out of a band that I founded...by text(probably the most unprofessional way to let someone go.musos take note)for the good of the show(a one man show)...celebrated my two sons birthdays(complete with gate crashing gang affiliated uder 5's)...and gave up cigarettes(which has made me irritable and hard to get along with lately)..all in two weeks..in that order.
From all these stupid things that have happened I've learnt this.....My culture is older than modern religion..With life comes death..appreciate people while they are here...SOME people will ALWAYS put themselves before others and not appreciate people while they are around...family is the biggest gang in the world...real musicians are real people...not fake ass entertainers who play over top of sequenced music complete with lead vocals,bv's basslines and drums asking musicians to lipsync for the sake of an ego trip....giving up nicotine is a bitch...carrying on with life is a life worth carrying on..Thats what my mama taught me...and mama didnt raise no fool...Its like this

Yesterday is history...
Tommorrows a mystery...
Today is a gift thats why they call it the present...
