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.
- World On The Brink?
It’s getting very weird out there. Scary times. The world feels much more like it did in the early 60s with massive global instability. So what will this mean to the rest of us watching from the sidelines? I asked chat GPT and this is what it said: If the U.S. and Russia were to form an alliance, it would significantly alter the geopolitical landscape and potentially be very dangerous for Europe, though the exact consequences would depend on the specifics of such an alliance and its objectives. Here are some … Continue reading World On The Brink? - Lions Mane
Lions Mane, does it work? Maybe. I have been taking it for about 3 weeks approx now and I feel it has made me less fatigued and mentally a little sharper, but also less depressed. That’s a major benefit if it really is working. it’s not expensive and it’s been in use for centuries’ apparently so I feel it is worth a go. A new song: Wondering If You Could Tell Me Diana Stones Glasscage · Wondering If You Could Tell Me Currently a few things are on the boil and … Continue reading Lions Mane - Its Not Getting Any Easier Yet
February persists as it must. And we try and carry on as we have always done. Seems harder at the moment though in many ways. Latterly everything feels a bit scary again. Maybe I am just picking up on the vibes around me? Apparently the entertainment at the Super Bowl was some sort of symbolic protest, but I did watch it on YouTube and I haven’t got a fucking clue what it was all supposed to mean but I don’t think the message was for me. I am more your Isadora … Continue reading Its Not Getting Any Easier Yet - More February MusingsThe Trump reality TV show continues and becomes more extraordinary and the plots become more unrealistic day by day. One is compelled to watch the unfolding disaster and fight the strong urge to hide behind the sofa. I don’t see it running for an extended season somehow. And all the news I am getting from my Facebook friends from the USA is not good. I think one senior couple I know have split up as he is pro trump and she is not. There is potentially some very bad shit being … Continue reading More February Musings
- Good, Bad or Something in between.
It’s hard at times making a decision. Here is a new song called: Alternative Valentine Confusion Diana Stones Glasscage · Alternative Valentine Confusion Everything I have learned I have read or learned from others, apart from from learning to read itself for which I owe a south asian sari clad lady a huge debt as I was dyslexic as it turned out and that time it was not a recognised disorder, I was just deemed slow. Personally I do miss the social aspect of the 9 to 5. I did get … Continue reading Good, Bad or Something in between.
