I was artistically angry.

I was very angry at many things in this particular moment:

1. The song was incredibly fast. Why did it need to rush so?
2. My part required me to play constant eighth notes throughout said fast song. Why must I play so quickly, and so much?
3. I don't play with a pick, so my fingers (all of them, alternating at one point or another) were sprinting over the strings, cramping all the while. Why don't I play with a pick?
4. That bass seemed to weigh about 400 lbs. at that point. (It didn't.) Why? Why must it seem so heavy?
5. Dels seems to be laughing at my copious misfortune. Why must he mock me so?

Thank you, spear, for capturing my angst so well.
