5 Steps

There are five steps in the grieving process of dealing with breaking a string just as i'm starting to rock:

Denial
Did it slip off the bridge? Did it suddenly stretch below the volume knob for no reason?

Anger
Fuck- why did i get Slinkys?!?

Bargaining
I bet if I unwind it and tie it in a knot with some pliers, it’ll still work. (or) I don’t really need a D string- I can play around it.

Depression
I don’t get paid until Wednesday and parking at Guitar Center sucks.

Acceptance
I wonder if I still have that frozen pizza?
