Quitting music

[coregod]

how do u guys not go insane making music all day and practicing arpeggios all day ? if I sit down for hours everyday my ass starts to indent and I get bad sciatica, thing is that I actually stretch and move my shit more than most people, I can throw 540 wheels kicks I’m a blue belt in bjj and a world class boxer. So people who don’t work out and make music are all pre diabetic and have no ass and legs anymore ? My brother was into music a lot when he was younger and had skin folds drooping from his ass at 140lbs 6 foot. I love martial arts but got into some trouble so I don’t wanna compete professionally, got back into music so I could do something with my life and play local shows, honestly I’d rather just workout and live a normal life instead of having a numb ass looking at sharps and flats on a computer screen. I’m starting to think all musicians actually hate there life and don’t really enjoy there lives. also….if you have any friends or girlfriends they’ll see you as a musician, not very alpha…..it’s kind of a lose lose for musicians. u get seen as a beta, waste your life on music concepts and become weaker. ya I know some people stay in good shape while being musicians but that’s just muscle usually, if you’re practicing shred guitar, writing GOOD music, recording, learning music theory, learning recording, learning live show sound. ya u can get decently jacked working out an hour here and there, that’s not going to make you feel like a healthy human being, you need to get some sun and be outdoors like it’s pretty simple, do cardio, calisthenics etc…. You’re not going to satisfy the human body by putting on a bit of muscle with your 1 or 2 hours at the gym you’re going to be a neurotic musician with a little bicep bulge wanting everyone to think you’re cool and hardcore, nah Man U play with little music notes all day sitting in your basement

Is it bad that "neurotic" was the most prominent thing that I took away from this?

So... do you, dude. Life is a balancing act. I hope for your sake that this is just a short vent cause if what you typed above is something that your mind dwells on a lot... man, that would be quite unhealthy.

At first I was about to recommend you get a strap and stand up while playing, but after reading the whole post, I‘m going to suggest a good therapist instead.

Is this the new Navy Seal copypasta?

Good stuff, you should be a guidance counselor.

It is now.

 

[Demiurge]

I have the same dilemma in miniature: with the 20 minutes I get to myself in my miserable fucking workaday life, do I become a virtuoso or a body-builder?

- Yes, we are insane pre diabetics. NO brown M&M's though. That's just crazyness. I suggest playing something not arpeggios.

- You have a bad case of S.A.S or S.A.P.S. (sweep arpeggio practice syndrome) . The only cure is 420 bong rips. Take a day off. Watch old silly 80's MTV videos and movies. Feel good. Then tomorrow. get yur ass back to arpeggios.

Pre-diabetes-core went out in 2006. Blue belts are out, too, ever since being able to play what you can play was a thing.

Instead, get yourself a fuzzy poopy brown belt, have your songs switch between 4/4 (with triplets) and 3/4, and add a few extra truss rod covers for good measure.

• You don't have to play the guitar fast. Only jabronies think playing br00tal music makes you tuff.
• I play slow and never shred and people still enjoy my shows and women still talk to me on purpose.
• Stretching, running and pilates are exercise. I'm not jacked but I'm not out of shape either.
• I was once the model for "artfag" in the educational "gay body types" interlude at a drag show.
• There's no such thing as "alphas" or "betas" bro do yourself a favor and banish that mentality.
• If you're lactose intolerant like I am, try some chamomile tea to sooth your nerves.

Where is the period on your keyboard sir. Where is your space bar.

Where the hell is your goddamn enter key

Where is your question mark?

• You don't have to play the guitar fast. Only jabronies think playing br00tal music makes you tuff.
• I play slow and never shred and people still enjoy my shows and women still talk to me on purpose.

If anything, generally, the amount of attention you get from women is inversely proportional to speed at which you play.

If this is real, you care WAY too much what other people think of you. And, idk consider standing?? If you sit so long your nerves are getting pinched then buy a strap and play standing up.

Also tell Kevin Frasard he's viewed as a "beta"

Get a strap that will allow you to do air squats while playing.

And I have to…
