I'm interested in knowing how/why life can be such complete crap and relatively wonderful at the same time. My kids are the good bit.
And speaking of time, it's all about the timing, which is never right, ergo aforementioned complete crap.
Otherwise, just "being". Keeping it together. That kind of stuff. Hard, ain't it?
Oh yeah...and guitars.
