I drove some today..brought mom to the market and then we went for lunch..and then drove back...and when our maid wanted to wash the car, I went down to move the car to a lot nearer to the washing bay...
It really makes one feel....free..ya'know, to be able to drive...It gives one that feeling of total freedom...I'm just waiting for the chance to burn the Need For Speed album I got into a CD so I can play it in the car Heehee...Oh and I wanna take that drive down to East Coast Park to sit by the beach and watch the sunset with my music..and perhaps my guitar to get inspired into composing some new songs...It be great!! =D It be cool to cruise along the highway at night or late evening and have some chill-out kinda music playing....
Ah it be best to drive in UK! In the countryside...oh that would be awesome!!! =D
Oh yea, I've "quit" Drum Cafe. One of the associates told me he was going to pay me for the previous session I assist in and it has been 2 months I hadn't heard of anything about it. Today the guy insisted he needed me down for another session and I admit I told him last minute that I wasn't going to make it...but when I mentioned that I was displeased about not having any information regarding my payment for the previous session, he THEN said "This is unprofessional. I haven't had the chance to meet up with you to pay you. Give me your address and I will send you the pay". The thing is, I'm not hard up for the pay. Even if he cannot pay me, thats totally fine because the experiance is priceless...but I did not mention the pay for 2 months..I did not even ask him how much he was going to pay me..and now, 2 months later, when I mention it, he says "i hadn't got the chance to meet you". What this tells me is that he was probably hoping I'd forget about it and since I mentioned it, he covers up by giving the excuse that he hadn't got the chance to meet me. HE is clearly the unprofessional if you ask me. He could at least have the decency to let me know that he cannot pay or that it would take a long time...But he has the nerve to ask me to do more sessions with him without even mentioning my overdue payment...
So as of today, I'm not having anything to do with this group. If I work for someone, I would expect an honest decent working relationship. If he cannot pay me, thats fine..I don't mind not being paid..but at least TELL ME if you cannot and I will understand. I try to be very understanding and I never pressure at all but he waits until I ASK then he gives an excuse, and this is being dishonest. It is unacceptable. I'll be happier working somewhere else as a percussionist. =)
