musical mojo and new beginnings....


So, new day new blog. I was gonna start by apologising for my latest entry and its negative connotations but then I just thought, feck it. It was a burst of honesty that felt like it needed a place to be aired and at the lack of a diary (haven't had one since my travels) it seemed like a good place to vent. It even felt a bit cathartic. Opening up like that on a public domain felt weird afterward though. Like i'd laid myself bare a bit, like a naked work dream. but then again in my very first blog i said "honesty remains the eternal truth"... nuff said.

It was a funny one though, because I was so distracted and pissed off that even music was making me frustrated. I can't remember a time when that has ever happened. There is a piece of music for every state of mind, a soundtrack to emotions that always has a place. That day though I couldn't find it and jumped from artist to artist and track to track in search of some musical prozac. Nothing worked. Eventually I sat in slience with my ear phones still on...silent and a little in despair....... untill after a while I remembered this woman and this song... it kinda represented my mood but at the same time it slowly but surely lifted me out of it. The note she hits and the end and the build up too it remains the single most amazing piece of music i've ever heard.

Right, distractions aside, there are some new things happening in my life in the next month or two. A new home awaits me and I'm dead excited about making just that, a home. I'll be living on my own but I'm kinda secretly looking forward to it. Hell, I might even walk around the apt naked if i want, its the little freedoms that give life its boost and I'm all over them.

Now I actually had lots more to write, but its getting way too late and I'm too excited to sleep so i need some reading time to send me off.... this is what I'm reading btw the way and its a hoot.
David Saderis - Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim

Music wise, I've had this on loop - it gets better with every listen

And last, i kinda like the sounds of The Flobots too - hit Handlebars first

Night now.
