Yesterday and the Day Before

An acoustic guitar....


Joey, the angel, helped me out on a bad day. Basically the last of dreams faded, and I was once again betrayed by hope. I didn't know what he was really until that day. I don't believe in god, I don't believe in angels, yet somehow it's all convincing. Or maybe I just need something that I can believe just to keep me going. If he's not an angel, he's a pure genius, kind and living his life to save all he can. A real angel or not, such a title would be one he'd deserve.
Claims they've been talking about me. I wonder what they'd say. I needed help huh..?

Now I've been rendered to empty, with the loss of another friend and dream.

I told my mom the news. She decided, she's got to help me by finding me a way out. Something to do, something to concentrate on...
So, we search for a guitar.

We look around for a good store, and ask one and they recommend Dusty Strings.. We go there.
Of course we're oblivious to what exactly we're looking for... I've never even touched a guitar in my life. I know I want an acoustic one though. I've listened to Frente and Alison Moyet, and the acoustic songs are always beautiful. I like the sound of acoustic as well..
The lady who works there shows us different kinds, and the one I like best is the 'cherry wood' acoustic guitar... Warm colored and light, good size and feel.
The lady teaches me different chords.. She says I'm doing well for it being the first time. The other person who works there decided what size would be good, and teaches me some simple songs and how the guitar works in general. I love the sound and I ask my mom if I can please please have it. She hesitates but says okay.. because she bought my little brother a very expensive drum set, so it's my turn. It wasn't terribly expensive, just a little more than she'd want to pay when I didn't know how to play. I'm really eager to learn how, and want to take lessons as soon as possible.. So we just have to find some local people who teach it and I'll get going.
I love having a guitar in the case on my back, just feels neat... I can't wait till I can play things..
