Starting to use this journal?
This journal was originally going to be an effort to document my freemind experiments / drugless psychonautics / chaote ramblings, but I don't have time for that right now. I would like to start writing a journal again, though, so I'm dedicating this one to (hopefully) an equal split between personal ranting and music business.
To start me off on this bent, observe:
Personal
I still haven't gotten anything sorted for Uni. I suppose it's because I'm bricking myself about it, and dealing with it makes it all more real, but I can't kid myself that this is the best plan of attack when faced with scary things. I'll get right on it tomorrow, I swear.
Other personal issues? There are some, yeah. Life would be so much less complicated without other people. I have some of the best friends I could possibly ask for right now, so why do I have to complicate that by alternately lusting after them or being too... I don't know... affection craving, I guess, to set boundaries on friendships? Iono. I'm lame. It's not even bothering me that much, just a niggle. Like a toothache.
I may have a toothache also. I hope not.
In an unrelated matter, Gary was also supposed to be coming over from yonder Sheffield today, but he fails at travelling, so I watched Silent Hill instead, go me. I do love that film.
Musical
Been a productive few days. Started work on the first track I've done in a while that could actually be danced to yesterday, and it was one of those that just fell into place quickly. Spent today nerding up on dance production and effective bass frequencies, on the off chance that anyone ever plays my music on a sound system better than shitty PC speakers, and I've managed to find some motherfucking bass after much fiddly tweaking and adjusting, so I'm quite happy. Still have to go back and finish another track, as well as apply my new technical knowledge to older tracks and bring everything up to the same mix quality. Also, need to get some damn vocals sorted out. I'm spending too much time on this at the moment, time I don't effectively have.
That is all.
