Yeah, that's the truth right there lol. My crew still gives me grief for that one time I insisted on the bigger head in what turned out to be basically soup. Spent half the shift just cleaning out the intake, felt like I was running a really expensive, angry blender. Sometimes you just have to admit the river's smarter than you are.

Saw my old band's demo get turned into a jingle...

That "scary stuff right before bed" thing is so real. I mean, it's not just the bad dreams, it's like your brain gets stuck in that alert mode. I tried the same curfew and it felt impossible at first, but now I just plug my phone in across the room. It's crazy how much quieter my head is when I'm not staring at a screen last thing.

Who knew a cheap jar could fix everything?

Yeah that's so true, it's like we're trained to skip intros but they're hiding stuff in plain sight. I mean it happens everywhere, like how song lyrics hit different after a breakup or you notice background details in a movie the second time. It's all about the context you have when you look at something. Maybe we're just moving too fast to catch it the first time.
