I like to play guitar. I'm not in a band. I sleep a lot. I love coffee. I have a wife and 2 kids. I'm an offshore oil rigger. My job is demanding and dangerous. I travel for work. I am away from my family half of the time because of work. I work on the ocean. I keep in touch with my family through wifi while traveling.
I also play the guitar. I've played music since high school. I'm in a grunge band with my sister. Our band goes on tour. I'm a barista. I like the flexibility of my job. I have an eyebrow piercing. I have nephews through my sister.
I'm heading back to the rig soon, so I made sure to spend plenty of time with my family. Aw man. How was it? Did you guys do anything fun? That's one things that's nice.  All time together is quality time and we definitely have fun.  This weekend we went to the movies and splurged on popcorn and hot dogs.  How was your weekend?  Any gig planned? That sounds so fun. I mainly worked all weekend, kind of a busy one for some reason. But this week should be smooth sailing lol! We're planning on doing a few local shows for now, and then heading back out on tour soon. Livin' the life.  Lol.  You mentioned your nephews previously.  I was curious if you think they'll join the back eventually? That's a good question. Maybe we'll take them on as roadies sometime when they're older. One isn't too interested in our kind of music, but the other plays bass in his school band, so maybe :P Would be great to keep it in the family.  How old are your nephews.  My two sons are 11 and 13.  Old enough to handle me being gone 2 weeks a month and still so young where I miss them tons. My nephews are 13 and 17. Younger kiddo is the band geek lol. It sucks that you have to be away from them so often, but it must be worth it. (Plus the 2 week weekend must be nice) Those are great ages.  And yes - so interesting how 2 boys can be so different.  My job definitely pays well.  My wife is a trooper.  Now that the kids are older it works out much better.  And 2 weeks off are AWESOME!  I need the time to get my energy back.  What is your shift like? It's not too bad honestly. Some times it can get a little much, especially if we're short. But most of the time it's a good little shop with some good vibes. It also helps they're flexible enough to let me head out on tour! Pretty much my time is either the coffee shop or the van I'm jealous - but in a good way.  We should pick out some sheet music so we can practice out guitar playing - maybe do a virtual chat duet.  Lol. That'd be cool! A zoom jam sesh. Think your internet will be able to handle it?
