Jazz 1
Last night I heard amazing live jazz, the Stanton Moore trio. They played a cover of Billie Eilish's No Time to Die which made my mother and brother cry. Before playing the cover the pianist warned "I might smash my head again the keys." I would've.
Jazz is freedom.
There's a number of ways I would like to improve myself. I want to wake up with a consistent schedule. I want to exercise my creativity with any regularity. I want to exercise and hike and smoke less and write for this blog more. I want to practice the drums.
I want I want I want. Yeah yeah. Sucker. Wasting time wanting instead of doing. Yoda quote.
Jazz makes me feel like anything is possible. That I can fix my life today. Like the song by Melt Yourself Down: "Fix My Life." Even, or perhaps especially, when reality proves otherwise, Jazz makes believe I can be more than I am.

Do or do not. There is no try.
