I wish I were more creative. All songwriting ability I once had is gone. I can remember before I learned music theory - I would churn out a song every week or so, and they would be good, original melodies. Now I just force any kind of songwriting creativity, and it usually ends up sounding stiff and, well, forced. In addition, everything sounds the same after a while. Don't learn music theory!!! Maybe I should've been a drummer, because I always have beats in my head, not rhythms. I can't remember the last time I wrote a decent, well-constructed, and coherent song. I suppose I could just resort to ordinary power chord progressions, but I know I can do better. Bleh.
At least I can enjoy some entertainment tomorrow. I'm seeing "Othello" at the New Jersey Shakespeare Theater, housed in nearby Drew University. I hope this performance will reestablish my ardent passion for the Bard. I feel like I'm losing my interests. It's probably the gross amount of extraneous crap I've had to put up with these last few months with tests, applications, interviews, work, visitations, etc. I can't wait to just be accepted, and not have to worry about it. Das ist alles.
