Air Instruments

by Adams Carvalho.

Just saw that Bright Eyes and Kurt Vile have a show in Austin, TX in September... I'm going to pretend I didn't see that so I won't get upset.

I play air instruments way too often. Air guitar, air piano, air bass, etc. It's not for attention, to be seen; Lord knows I do it more by myself than in front of people. (Thaaaaaats what....) I do it to practice, not necessarily the notes, but the rhythm of the notes; since I was little, I would always find myself "practicing" even when there was no actual piano present- I was just trying to get better or at least stay familiar with the parts that I knew. Realistically, it's probably from me being bored homeschooling and just trying to entertain myself. Anywho, on the way to work today, I was listening to music and I suddenly had an outburst of a piano solo, unbeknownst to me. I played a very fast-moving 2 second Liszt-like solo on my steering wheel. I abruptly stopped, realized what I was doing and looked at the car next to me to see how embarrassed I should be. It was a bus. The bus driver waved at me; I guess he thought I was waving really obnoxiously and daintily to him. So I just smiled back and acted as if I I had waved, as if I were just super happy and outgoing this morning, when really I was contemplating when I could engage in my next small coma of a nap. Jokessss onnnnn youuuuu.

But not really.
