Just when Soft Pillow Kisses just recently ended it's "Who's Gonna Play Guitar?" woes which has been going on for almost 2 months, Candyaudioline is now saddled with a new dilemna... It's "Who's Gonna Play Drums?" for us now after Kel, surprisingly and with out warning, texted me a few days ago that he's quitting his work at Backbeat and at the same time will be taking a break from playing in bands... According to him, he'll start training for work next Monday... he's decided on leaving because of stress which he says has been the cause for his being sick most of the time... he's decided to give the real world a try and will be preparing for his future...
Funny how things can turn out good or bad with just a snap of the finger or a twist of the head... sadly i can't compete with the dictates of the real world and since being in a band like mine which can't really offer anything that would translate to security, i've no choice but to bow down to situation and look towards a new horizon...
so far only Dennis knows of the situation and we both share the same sentiments which i'll just keep between him and me... i remember when Apple (current Pillow vox) was also facing the same situation (Stressful working situation and the pressures of getting thru culinary school and getting a job)... at least she told me way way before her plans of quitting the Job at Backbeat... i understood her situation since she wasn't making much at that time with the Artist assigned to her but still she tried hanging on until it was really impossible for her to give her time to Backbeat... at that time i thought that she was also giving up being Pillow's vocalist but she didn't...
i only wish that Kel could've done the same... specially with his work with Backbeat... he should've told me in advance his plans so that i would have been able to "gradually" inform the Band, to which he is assigned to, that he'll be leaving... Now almost everyone is a bit disappointed at him... the last time we texted, he told me that he'll text or inform everyone concerned of his decision to leave work but it seemed that he didn't, so when i told everyone concerned of his leaving work everyone was really surprised and took it in a slightly negative light... i guess, like me, they felt a bit betrayed since they've already accepted him like a really close friend whom they could place their trust on...
as for Candyaudioline, he told me that he's not quitting but he'll need time to establish himself at work... he said two months would do... honestly, i don't get it? but guess i just have to let fate decide on things... i just hope that in time, things would all be in a proper perspective and that the choices made and "will be made" would all be for the greater good of everyone concerned...
honestly, i'm really saddened and utterly disappointed... i didn't plan on wasting my precious time and throwing loads of hard earned money only to end up being at the bottom of the stairs again...
