LIFE is what happens while you are busily making plans

So,
you know what is funny?
life is what happens ... exactly....
so i was so scared, so shitless scared man, yesterday. I thought it would be the most horrible day ever and instead of flaking out as my inclination told me to do, I went right through it and thought, you know what, screw it, I don't have anything to lose.
The weirdest thing, however, is how those most fucked up days turn their back on you and despite the horrifying anticipations transform into the most convenient, most effective, most beautiful day ever.
Geez, I should have known better. It happened to me already at my final exam day last quarter. It was the most f**** up situation, I had to take my sister's dogs to the doctor, I was about to miss my finals because I was in freaking Santa Monica and my school is in Hollywood...I didn't really study for this one final and had forgotten to sign up for the other.
So I made it to school, despite all odds and was ready for the worst.

-

and I got the best grades ever. I was superb, to make a point here. I mean, seriously, I don't pad my own shoulder usually, but it just went so smooth, it was unbelievable.

And the same thing happened yesterday. The rehearsal i was so scared of got delayed until Friday (gives me more time to practice and leave a good impression at least!), I played all the LPW's (Life Playing Workshop's for which we get credited at school) that I signed up for (means I can play again next week, if you don't show up you get punished and can't play for a week....well well....talk about over institutionalising a rock school...) and I even made a new song on stage at the Coffeehouse LPW and people liked it.

Wow... And as the icing of the cake my good friend Heiko from Germany called me for a looong chat(thanks!) and I went to the movies with Miles and Amanda....Good old times!!! I tell ya.

so: note to self: although it might seem all fucked up, just keep right on going and never give up. You never know whether it'll turn out good and smooth like those times..yeah....flaking is not the solution :)
