Richard's Band

A Pointless Story

I remember this day when I was going with armoire_man out to Aurora. We were talking about music and punk bands, I think I had a CD of tributes to The Ramones in my CD player. This was before I went out to San Francisco. So there we were talking about bands and we decided it would be cool to start a band. Get someone to play Theremin, I could do vocals, he could do guitar and we'd sing songs about things like the Permian Extinction. Or even better we could make up tee shirts for our band that would look really cool and not even bother with the music stuff. It was a really fun conversation, one of the best I remember with Richard. I wonder if there is a bad called Evolution.

For those who've not seen it before I call all stories about my past "pointless stories", because they haven't got a point, a moral, or sometimes they don't even have a proper beginning or end. They're just memories that come upon me suddenly.

No stories like this are pointless. Life is not about "the moral of the story", life is about moments like these. In a sense, the point is that there is no point. We are a jigsaw of thousands of pieces like this one, each of them helping to make us who we are, and none of them is pointless. I liked it. Thanks for sharing.
