New Baby

Baby Martin that is! AKA a Little Martin LX1, AKA a travel sized guitar, AKA the same guitar Ed Sheeran has. EEK! It looks beautiful, sounds beautiful, and even smells beautiful. Nothing like the smell of new guitar. I put it down for the first time since I came home with it to write this post. And the best part of all of this was that I had to earn it.

I've been lucky enough to have a pretty comfortable life, with pretty much everything given to me. But the problem with having everything handed to you, it can get to your head. You begin to expect it, not appreciate it, and then next thing you know you're a brat.

I don't know about you... but when I grow up, I don't want to be a brat. I know brats, and I don't like them very much, they're bratty. They have everything under the sun, but nobody seemed to hand them character. Nope, character cannot be handed to you. You have to work for it. So I did, and I babysat, a lot.

3 months later, I was on the road to Guitar Center, chasing after my rainbow, and I came home (skipping and jumping) with the pot of gold. I earned this one, every penny of it. She's all mine, she's my baby.

With glowing excitement

P.S. This day never would have come without a big push. YB, you are oozing with the kind of character I wish I could have some day. Everything you have, you've earned 100% through your hard work, dediaction, and brains. I am continually inspired by you, and forever grateful. I send a million thanks your way, and I hope your summer is going swell. I miss yer face xoxo
