Hi my name is Matt. I've been playing Harmonica for about two months. Its fun to play and it helps my sleep apnea a ton. When I wake up at night gasping for air harmonica gives my lungs a good massage. At least that's what it feels like. Anyway I want to share one of the worst days of my life.
Okay so it was Halloween. My favorite holiday of the year. I just bought a Lee Oskar, a Special 20, and a Big River harp. The two Hohners I loved. The Lee Oskar just isn't my style. I can make the special 20 bark like a mad dog. Some of my favorite musicians play Lee Oskars so I know they're great.
Well so I had my new harps, it was Halloween I went to celebrate alone by purchasing some beer. Well I was like 10 cents short on the beer so I looked like a jackass. Then as I was walking home I almost got mugged by a homeless guy. Then some homeless guy farted on his bike and it blasted me right in the face. Then I got home and my computer was hacked. I was so angry and drunk that I threw out all my Harmonicas. I have no idea why. I probably should have played them but in my drunken stupor I threw them out. The next day I woke up and realized I chucked out three great Harmonicas. Two I really enjoyed. Three great harps none the less.
Now I just have a Big River in G that im in debt for. Which is fine. I got a job lined up hopefully. I also learned I really only need the Keys of A, G, and C to play E, D, and G respectively. I also learned i'm probably going to steer away from the Lee Oskars unless I become a multi thousandaire. Still great harps but its weird I like the Big River and the Blue Midnight more. I root for the underdog. I have no idea why.
Well theres one of the worst days of my life. Probably number 10 on the list of 1-10. Nice to meet you guys and gals and ill be on here frequently.

Damn 10 cents short of a 6 pack, threw 3 harps away and had a hobo fart in your face.
It sounds like your a walking blues song!
I would carry a journal and start writing this stuff down!

Yea I should have a job lined up next week. That's the thing when I'm working I'm ALL business but at home I'm a lazy scruff rock n roller hahaha.
If I could write lyrics I would write some crazy stuff. Unfortunately I am not really a man of words. I just can't express myself like that.
Bur bing bum duh
Hobo fart in my face
Bur bing bum duh
Pissed me off
Bur bing bum duh
Can't buy my beer
Bur bing bum duh
Almost got jacked
Bur bing bum dug
Then I really can't afford beer

It’s been a pleasurable acquaintance
Why is your name Matt?
Why play the harmonica?
Why sleep apnea?
Why Halloween your favorite?
Why bark a harp like dog?
Why beer and not MD 20/20?
Why are homeless mean to you?
Why unprotected computer?
Why the anger?
Why black-out on beer?
Why blame Lee Oskar on poverty?
Why are ideas so few?
Why? Please, Why?

Two questions...
1. Did you throw your harmonicas in a trash can that you couldn't reach in again?
2. How (also why) did you have your face so close to a bike riding homeless person's butt to suffer such abuse?

Why? Because stone cold says so. I couldnt fish them out. It was too late. The homeless guys fart was unexpected and nuclear. Probably a combination of microwave burritos, beer, and meth. Meth on meth. Ergh. Ah well. So it goes.

Yeah yeah yeah, Mattfolk327, we are now sufficiently aware of your plights -- but is there a question here? In the beginning, like ...?
I´m too effing drunk right now to care a whole lot about it but anyways, I think when you start a topic it should be with some kind of a question. Or some kind of info.
(Hobo flatulence is not appropriately close to the core issues of the general direction of the group.)
You want to provoke something?
B.M.G (be my guest) but here in Sweden we´re rounding it off with a night-cap right now, and I´m just gonna watch the documentary on the Muscle Shoales studio and then go to bed.

Nope just telling a amusing story. Amusing now. At the time it was horrible but such is life. Enjoy your doc.

I can relate. One time I had a bad day and wound up throwing out my unicycle and my original copy of Tommy The Who

In that case you couldn't see or hear Tommy anymore bwaha! Just kidding that's a drag.
I've smashed guitars and stuff out of frustration or because I got a new guitar ala Pete Townsend but never a instrument I planned on keeping. Life sucks sometimes and one can become irrational.

I'm not a doctor, nor have I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, but get a CPAP machine. It will save your life, literally. If you're overweight, lose it - the number one cause of OSA. (obstructive sleep apnea)
Sleep apnea does more than just cause sleep disturbances.
...speaking from experience.

I'm noticing a literary and dramatic writing style whose narrative continues that of a pre existing thought pattern of days gone by...Act 2 - "the sequel" welcome back, untainted humor will never rust -Selah :)
Met a girl called lola and I took her back to my place
Feelin guilty, feelin scared, hidden cameras everywhere
Stop! hold on. stay in control
Girl, I want you here with me
But Im really not as cool as I'd like to be
Cause there's a red, under my bed
And there's a little yellow man in my head
And there's a true blue inside of me
That keeps stoppin me, touchin ya, watchin ya, lovin ya
Paranoia, the destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer.
Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin kinda queer
Lola looked at me and said, ooh you look so weird.
She said, man, there's really something wrong with you.
One day you're gonna self-destruct.
Youre up, you're down, I can't work you out
You get a good thing goin then you blow yourself out.
Billy boy ya self-destroyer. silly boy ya self-destroyer
Billy boy you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You blowing it all with paranoia
Youre so insecure you self-destroyer
(and it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(here it goes again)
Paranoia, the destroyer
Dr. dr. help me please, I know you'll understand
There's a time device inside of me, Im a self-destructin man
There's a red, under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, you're not goin crazy, you're just a bit sad
Cause there's a man in ya, knawin ya, tearin ya into two.
Billy boy ya self-destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer
Self-destroyer, wreck your health
Destroy friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruption
(yea, it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(heres to paranoia)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(hey hey, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(and it goes like this)

Nice lyrics Frank. I've heard that song referenced before. I have no idea what its about but it sounds good.
I would get a CPAP machine but I don't have the funds. I wake up sometimes and I feel like my brain is half dead.

If indeed it is the same fellow- I personally did not experience a problem with him...I forget the gist of what went down, but he some how disregarded Big Walter's advice to, "Have a good time" ?

I think it may have been time to kill off the character. I recall good natured sometimes humorous exchanges. But in the end there were some clearly OTT posts.
The likelihood it was a persona suggested itself to me through observation of a certain inconsistency of posts demonstrating on the one hand willful ignorance and intolerance, contrasted with others which were erudite and engagingly philosophical.
And then there was Professor Blues. The existence of PB, a very heavy commentator, led me to hypothesize a conspiracy of 1.
