Having a band is a lot like having any other hobby. It can be a real heap of fun and provide hours of enjoyment. It can help you spend loads of money on what really amount to fancy toys. It can take up a lot of time that you really should be spending doing homework or with family. If a hobby ever gets to take over your life in a way that makes you irritable or unhappy... it's time to take a break. We all need our space after all.
Now, don't take this post as the eulogy of the band or anything like that. All I'm saying is that I'm set to graduate in less than two months and I'm being laid off in less than two weeks. With all of the stress of job humting and trying to maintain a GPA, I'm feeling a little crunched. Trying to set up a band meeting/rehersal is making my guts tie themselves in knots. When that happens I need to remind myself that making music and being in a band (however small and local that may be) is supposed to be fun.
I really don't expect to be this stressed out for very much longer so this de facto hiatus shouldn't last too long. And now loyal readers... cross your fingers or say a prayer that I can get a decent job soon.
