After a while Beecher just got on my nerves, whiny little bitch.

Oh, Lesley, I forgot to mention - my wife doesn't like Clooney either.
I don't dislike him, he's really likeable. He just doesn't do it for me. And most of the time, I'd just like to wipe that smirk right off Brad Pitt's face.
I've been crushing on JK since Juno, love that smartass grin and twinkly blue eyes. That's a guy who likes his life.
Minor confession #2. I know it's good for me. I know it even tastes good when you cook it right and put good stuff in it. But holy scorched earth Batman, does anyone else get atomic level poots from steel-cut oats? Even the cats are getting ticked off.
I confess that I can't tell the difference between steel cut oats and regular old ground up oats or crushed oats, or oats chewed up by rats and spit out...
Regular oats make porridge. Steel cuts oats make something that looks like mushy quinoa, and pre-loads your ass like a nuclear warhead.

I'm sure you're not the only one bringing the average down.

Nope, there he is all by himself on the left.

I meant like like, you know, LIKE...
It took me two hours to walk without left knee pain after driving my foxbody home in traffic today.
I think I'm getting soft...
Does this count as minor?

While I'm here I might as well leave a real confession.
I suck at guitar. I took lessons for 4 years as a kid... and I felt like I needed to follow thru now that I'm ... er... whatever. I picked up a sweet guitar and signed on for lessons. I'm used to being good at stuff. I can manipulate machines like race cars, bikes, ice axes, skis, lathes, clitorises, hand tools etc to do my bidding like I was some sort of sooth sayer. Things I've never even seen before dance like marionettes to my fife. I can troubleshoot everything from an enterprise app server cluster to a printing press faster than most berkeleys can make coffee... But these berkeleying music machines? goddamn it... why does it always sound like a gorilla throwing rocks into a piano!? My hands are agile. Why won't they make the blues?
First, you really should get rid of the gorilla.
What part is giving you the trouble? Is it the pickin' or the grinnin'? I'm no Randy Rhodes, but I used to play. I found that turning the lights out and laying down to play helped me listen to the notes better. Also prevented me from looking at the fretboard and trying to force my fingers to do what I wanted them to do. The harder I try to control them, the more they would resist.
In reply to EastCoastMojo:
If I was to boil it down to a single issue, I'd say my chord change speed does not always allow me to keep a beat. The path from the sheet, thru my brain to my fingers is not automatic and the fingers themselves seem to refuse to just do a thing that that they know how to do. I think A minor barre, and then have to wait while my hand fingers itself. If I have a person in the room shouting chords I can, like ninja, execute chord. If I am playing from memory or sheet... it's like watching a retard try to finger a bowling ball.
I'm sure it's a muscle memory thing that will go away with more practice but it's frustrating me a great deal for something I was hoping would be an enjoyable, relaxing past time for someone who hates fishing.
Slow down the beat, until you don't need the sheet. Once you can play that melody with your eyes closed, the speed will come.

I can do you.one better. my wife hates that movie, but I love it. It's Aca-awesome
I'm hooked on confessing now.
When I first saw the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie I said to myself "Holy E36 M3, that's the chick from Drumline".
Infer what you will.
I don't really like the Pixies, despite coming of age in the second half of the '80s and early '90s.
I autocrossed a 660whp gt500 this weekend and I still prefer the Honda. I feel un-American to say that.
