What are you doing? (Part 2)

My first media wall yay! I’ve done several built-in shelving joints but never one of these. Now, would you have hired me to build this if you knew I’ve never built one before? Shirley not. In fact (and also) my prices are sometimes so sketchily low that the customer gets suspicious and thinks I’m a jack-leg who’ll do shitty work. I’m the ā€˜price is too good to be true’ guy your instincts tell you not to fuck with.

In any case the next one i do like that will be $2200. I was about $500 too low on this one. This lady was ready and willing to pay $2500 but i blew it and gave her an honest price. This outrageously expensive subcontractor stuff is hard to get used to but I’ll figure it out eventually.

Totally righteous. Each cubby has its own light, you know. Also, the dude said he wanted NO gaps between the TV and the edge of the frame. I warned him that the house may settle, and in three years, might start pushing on the TV. That’s why you leave at least a finger width gap. He didn’t wanna do it though so i built that bitch to the sixteenth.

Watch. In a few years that TV is gonna be stuck in there, and you won’t be able to telescope it out of that hole.

Eeeeew that’s nice. I want one! I wonder if i can build one in my van.

Woah woah woah. Hold up. How the fuck does a guy build hundreds of houses in thirty years time but ends up never having a house?

That’s like being a dentist who dies of a tooth infection or something totally asinine like that.

Charge him again to fix it.

trying to decide on a new guitar to buy

C’mon man let’s jam when you get one. I’m fuckin with Herbie Hancock’s Spider right now. Put some of those Stevie Ray Smears licks on this shit.

You write some melodies and then send em to me so i can put drums on em and then Ecmandu will add keys and be like Chick Corea.

i played a cheap-ish, foreign made prs at a store the other day and i really kinda want it. it’s swamp ash w/ maple fretboard so like the anti-prs. will immediately lose value upon it’s purchase, but wouldn’t worry about actually tossing it around a bit. i might do it.

Ohhhh yes, check this one out i just found. Some darker shit finally. I’m trying to find like angry jazz fusion but all these play alongs on youtube are funk or swing jazz.

That’s what i do. At the end of each show i smash the shit out of my guitar like Pete Townsend and then throw the pieces at the crowd.

Hey you guys what do i do? You’re saying they might terminate my account even if i merely ask to upload the vid? I get it; it’s a tedious process and it pisses the people off who have to address it… but would they really kick me off youtube for putting them through it?

'Fraudulent dispute"

Why then are there countless other cover songs on YouTube? I’m gonna suspend the dispute indefintely until advised by ILP on what to do. Thank you and good day.

Lol Asians love Herbie Hancock… that’s hilarious in this way: they stand before the Funk like some kind of strange illusory American creature that’s slippery and full of swagger against their cultural disposition for more rigid and traditional music. Half of it is just them wanting to be ā€˜american hip’ and the rest is a genuine feel and admirationn for it. Hip-hop happened to em in the same way.

The vast majority of views of my HH vids are Japanese and Korean. That’s so funny. ā€œHe very good. He have funk.ā€

This poor girl has been working at starbucks now for at least six years. So long that her drive-through greeting has become this horrible script she absentmindedly repeats hundreds of times a day. But worse, there’s this valley girl inflection her the speech that gets me every time i hear it. If you saw what she looked like, you would totally get it, and lol…

lmfao

Nice! Wake Med did nothing, and only charged me $600 to give me the name of an ophthalmologist to call.

Three days, no sleep, lost a big job, three separate visits to the ER, and i get a guy’s phone number for $600.
