For when I get good...

First guitar lesson (since starting the blog, it's technically my 3rd) tonight.  I'm very much looking forward to my first loaner guitar, and am looking even more forward to purchasing a my own over winter break. 

song list

• Every song ever made by Taylor Swift
• Select Nirvana numbers (anger release)
• "When the World Ends" -DMB
• "i've got it all (most)" -modest mouse  

Playing music is hard for me.  Along with dancing, drawing, singing, really anything that involves rhythm or remotely involves hand-eye coordination.   

I am not kidding.  Honestly,  I can say I find solving a physics problem easier than throwing a slow-pitch softball.  This is going to be a challenge, for me.  I am methodical.  This is why I like running, excuse me, love running.  I place one foot in front of another, I handle the physical discomfort, I just do.  I plan a running location and move my body there.  Simple, systematic. 

Playing music is anything but orderly, I cannot find the control over my hands like I can my legs.  I cannot find the rhythm.  Am I the only person in the world who can't strum??  Or tap my foot to the beat??  I struggle relaxing, being loose, letting go.  Hmmmm...lesson to be learned?  Slowing down has never been easy for this sprinter.  I think I need to start practicing yoga again....  I will.
