binge? purge? i think its purge. i binged a lot the last few years. its something i'm still guilty of. shopping too much, buying too much, eating too much, drinking too much. ive got it under much better control. i've sold a lot of my guitar collection, which although the intelligent and smart thing to do, hasn't come easy. it's the whole teneor votis thing, being bound to my responsibilities. and ive been good at that, but ive been ignoring certain other things. i've lost weight. i'm healthier. i'm happier. i like how my life is going. so ive sold my gibson es 335. a few les pauls. a few strats. a bunch of teles. some sgs. new, vintage. mustangs. jazzmasters. jaguars, lions, tigers and bears. oh my. amps, speakers, peals. etc. and i'm not really buying anything to replace the things ive sold. one morning i woke up and said to myself, "self, if i woke up tomorrow and only had one guitar, would i be sad?" and the answer was no. i think at one point i had about 50 guitars. right now i'm around 20. i need to get rid of about ten more or so, hell, as many as i can but i think ten guitars/basses would be more than a lot of people have. i'm very content with that notion. its a very cathartic process, and it's kind of weird to make money of off the clearout. but i did buy them as investments, so its not that much of a shock. but its good. in regards to my life being together and all, i'm at a much better place than i've ever been. so i'm thinking about traveling, and doing things ive never done, just experiencing the simple things in life. and yet there's still a void.
