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.
- Nearly June alreadyAnother year turns around. I feel that Midsummer should be when the new year starts. Ok I am obviously quite mad. Things are up and down as ever pretty much. Mostly I am about music as ever. I just tend to do stream of consciousness stuff, not story songs. But loosely everything always relates to personal experience. i do a lot of instrumental music as well though.I had a terrible nights sleep last night and I am wrecked today. So not so much going on here really. I found I something … Continue reading Nearly June already
- Good, bad and slightly Manky Around The EdgesTo be honest its rare unless I am unwell that don’t do stuff that’s a little bit creative/constructive most days but my minds a mystery at times. Music was my living for a fair while so it would be weird not to. But I always played and made demo recordings way back when and I sold Cds in the days before I was playing regularly in a live band. I never really expected to get on stages then one day I had a dream that I was playing gigs and a … Continue reading Good, bad and slightly Manky Around The Edges
- Too Much Scary Stuff TimeIf it’s not one thing it’s another it seems. For some reason some of my music is being wrongly attributed to having been written by someone else. It seems to be some sort of AI system doing this and not a person? It’s only happening on one distributer though. Weird and frustrating. If a file with a timestamp is not sufficient proof what is? Diana Stones Glasscage · I Wish You Were A Better Person Looks like I can’t get Facebook to take down the fake clone profile. About 8 people … Continue reading Too Much Scary Stuff Time
- Facebook what’s wrong with you!So as Facebook in their infinite wisdom have not removed the fake profile using my picture), a warning that I am not sending any friend requests to people already on my FB friends list. If you get a friend request purporting to be me it ain’t.Quite why anybody would actually want to pass themselves off as me (awesomely talented as I am not withstanding of course) who knows…. Freedom for Tooting 😉
- Scary TimesDiana Stones Glasscage · Past Careing It’s been a difficult week. My facebook profile got cloned and I picked up unwanted attention from a Radfem supporting TERF social media influencer that was in a previous life somebody I worked with and who was at that time a Trans ally I thought. Also somebody colleagues and friends helped to support early in their career. Its is always nasty to see that sort of thing. But then they do have 3700 YouTube followers so you make yourself a celebrity from hate now it … Continue reading Scary Times
