I know it was you Fredo.

So, my roomate gives me this B.S. story so he can try to weasel his way out of his lease which states, 30 fucking days notice. "Hey man, nothing personal." FUCK YOU. I think the extra $600 I have to pay because you can't clean your fucking room or give me adequate notice is very personal. So, where do I usually turn when some dick is stressing me out? Music. Yeah, it's always nice to know that no matter how bad things get personally/financially you can go have fun playing in a band. Oh, wait... the band I'm in (or was in) is also fucking me over.
Apparently, the "singer" is taking over guitar and I will be relegated to being his backup guitarist. They've decided without my presence that they will be pursuing a radically different sound. Most people can clearly see that this is FUCKED UP considering the fact that I never had a vote. It is basically akin to demoting someone in hopes that they will resign.
You see... about a year ago I started to realize my dream of being in a band where I could finally play the guitar riffs that have been in my head for eons. The previous band I was playing bass in dissolved so the drummer and myself committed to starting a new project.
My fatal mistake was getting a singer who's sole motive was becoming THE guitar player and basically staging a fucking coup. "I never planned on playing guitar." Bullshit. Kory, remember when you told me in the beginning that you were "over" the guitar? That you were ready for something else, like singing. Well, I knew it was bullshit. I've seen this coming from day one.
You guys have the nerve to ask me what's going on? How many practices have we missed because one of Jordan's family members were celebrating their birthday? Or because he had to do laundry? How, many times did I try playing something and received nothing but blank stares instead of solid feedback? How, often did I ask the question, "What direction do you guys want to go in?" Nick said, "up". Thanks Nick, your brilliant insight helped out a lot.
"I just want us to use all our talents.....We could do so much more." Who do you guys think your fooling? You can take your psycho-babble and shove-it. I can take a hint. Also, that was a nice move, spreading rumors that we were breaking up and then writing and jamming songs without me for a month.
