Working and Breakdancing

Entry Eight: Saturday The show with Sy Smith and Michelle N’Degeocello was a big success… a sell out night at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica. The place was packed tight with music lovers and fans of both artist. It was also a great kick off night for the release of Sy’s new DVD,

SY SMITH

I had fun. Both bands were great. I was concerned about how I was going to get through the day since I wasn’t up to speed physically but this is part of my job so I knew I would have to be there. Wasn’t the first time I would work sick and won’t be the last. I went into the music industry almost straight out of high school and it has always been some kind of physical challenge for me. Anyway, I took my time getting ready for the show today. I had to be there by 6:00pm for load in, sound check and stuff that managers do. The show wasn’t till 10:00 so it’s a long evening for me.

I just prayed that I wouldn’t get the “Phantom Pain”. I could make it through anything but that. I kept my stress level down to a minimum, and drank a lot of fluids. I didn’t eat anything until later that evening around nine or so, Sy brought me some soup to the gig. Good lookin out Sy.

I made it through the whole day with just some tylenol for my body aches and made sure I didn’t stand too long or do too much running around. I was okay.

I took Friday off because when I woke up after Thursday show, I was in pain again, a lot. So I stayed in the bed. I was real tired and got some sleep. I was up until 5am the night before. You know, I honestly can’t even remember right now what I ate yesterday… hmmmm… that’s not good. Today was another day of just being in the bed because i don’t feel good. I didn’t feel it on Thursday but I’m feeling my activity from working Thursday today. I guess the last two days. The really bad pain was back today (”Phantom”). I’m really sad about it. I’m so tired of pain.

I know all my christian friends would say all the positive confessions to me right now, and I’m down with all of that… that’s how I’ve gotten this far, but truth is also truth, and the truth is, I’m sad and I’m tired of pain.

Okay, heres something funny for you. I was watching a movie about breakdancing vs. krunk and all I can think about when I see that stuff is what it was like at the baptist church I grew up in. I am conviced that a breakdancer nor krunk dancing has anything on a baptist shouter! I’m going to prove it too! First chance I get. If you’ve ever seen for real baptist shoutin’ in church you know what I’m talking about. As SOOOOOON!!!! as I get my hands on some xtra cash I’m going to do a video about it! Well, I got up while I was watching the movie when they were dancing, and started doing the baptist version of street dancing… it was too funny, but then the “Phantom Pain” started, but at least I’m determined to enjoy what I can every breath that I can.

Patience
