Got to on keep trying. Apparently. Even when you are running out of steam. And I am a wee bit I must confess. Today I assembled an exercise bike and it was quite a workout to be honest. Outdoor exercises at this season plays havoc with my arthritis, so it a useful winter compromise. Keeping fit when you don’t regularly gig is I find a problem. So I am slowly trying to build up a little bit of stamina again if I can. Also activity can help alleviate or mitigate depression too which is also a very important for me as well. So in-between practicing and recording and mixing there is now exercise to work in as well. It’s worth a try at least.
The worlds in a pretty bad state now and there’s little that an individual can do really. Public out cry about injustice may well make us feel we are doing something, but it seems that we have less and less power to achieve any sort of leverage and change the mindset of those that rule over us. Power is a drug and those that don’t have it are doomed to waste away. There is no sense left in the whole wide world now.
Here’s a world/jazz genre instrumental. It’s called “Intrusive thoughts”
Facebook: Yes it’s useful and mostly benign except for one thing. The endless rubbish that comes through on messenger from spammers and scammers and phishers. I get it in industrial quantities at times. the messages start like this “Hi” or “How are you”.
Nobody tells you why they are getting in contact for example. It’s almost never anything genuine. Ok its a nuisance but it stil annoys me. Ho hum. Also it is always worth remembering that pretty things may be toxic and dangerous. So don’t always believe what you see.
- Strange Days Indeed ReprisedI have had a slightly frustrating week with not too much achieved again to be honest. Having decided to not pursue frustrating but ultimately dead ends further there is a bit of a void right now. I haven’t been out for 4 days and I haven’t felt like it either. I have had a very weird week mood wise. Mildly depressed but doing stuff and somewhat confused about what to do, where to go next. I am drifting a bit. The latest middle east US/Israel war on Iran has just kicked … Continue reading Strange Days Indeed Reprised
- Endings Perhaps
Diana Stones Glasscage · A Place You Will Never Find When I am getting on with stuff I can be happy enough to be honest. But I am giving up something in the sense that the almost fanatical gig at any price (tired, long journeys, not feeling well and so forth) me has really started to fade away. I have enough oomph for it to be alright on the night still but its a different world now for me personally and I cant approach it all in the same way anymore. … Continue reading Endings Perhaps - A Crisis Of Faith
Diana Stones Glasscage · Big Sticking Plaster It may seem silly but the thought that I am now 69 hit me in a weird way. To me that’s proper old 😂 I suddenly had an oh shit moment and a feeling that this cant be me, can it? Sounds mad I suppose. Its all getting a bit ‘Sunset Boulevard’ now. Nurse bring the screens The problem I have at the moment is the more I try to get stuff started the more disheartened I become. But its not just me it … Continue reading A Crisis Of Faith - Mid February And Its Still Raining
I have ground to a halt again again today. My mood is sort of neutral. I have been hit with an attack of the beige’s or the off white’s or magnolias. At Stone towers a quiet day with useful musical things done mostly but with no great urgency occurring. Nothing much to report.The washing machine heating element and controller circuit need fixing as suspected so it wont get fixed for a day or two or three. The parts on order from tomorrow but I suspect it wont be fixed until the … Continue reading Mid February And Its Still Raining - The Sun Shone Today
Diana Stones Glasscage · Wasted Life Yes it really did. And it stopped raining too. I am still tired though. Its weird to be honest. I have sort of zoned out the last few days after my anxiety thing on Wednesday night. I feel sort odd mentally. It was a bit cathartic as it brought into focus that I have mentally been pushing myself a bit too hard. Basically doing lots of doing is good on one level for mental health but not when it becomes a source of anxiety of … Continue reading The Sun Shone Today
