World of confusion

Musings

So what’s occurring then? Search me gov I haven’t got a clue? I had a good gig with Sonic Boomers and that really lifted my spirits. Like the old days for a moment or two 🙂
At times like this is very important not to take yourself too seriously.My heads often buzzing with stuff. What it means is that I often can’t switch off and relax. Sometimes there is just too much mental racket going on. Bad back as soon as I got out of bed so I attacked it vigorously with the magnesium ointment and its worked? Extraordinary, perhaps magic pixies were invoked somehow as it worked very quickly. The last few months particularly I seem to preoccupied with stuff. There is nothing wrong with having a plan but one can get to the stage where one is just trying to obsessively control everything. My egos a bit fractured in a sense and often I am trying to prove something to people that actually don’t care anyway. I think that’s a hangover from childhood. Funny old day. Started feeling quite upbeat but now I am falling towards gloomy again. Strange old world. I have a quiet week but with 2 gigs at the end of it which is perfect really.

I got a new battery for my old Citroen. The AA guy said the car started well, just did a 5 mile test drive and its running smoother on idle as well. It might that the fault was being caused by voltage drops, but I will drive it about a bit before trusting it too much. Maybe it will be OK.

I was a political moron for about 35 years of my life. I am fortunate to have been gifted a relatively quick and agile mind but I do tend to think in black and white terms a bit at times. My strength is also my weakness. Old Musky boy sees things as very simple, I am clever I should be in charge. Do what I say and it will be good for you because I have lots of brains, I have the best brains. Just ask the Donald 😉

Somedays its weird and I feel like I am in a film with a very unconvincing script. The one thing that no longer scares me is looking foolish. I am being to feel more and more like the court jester and maybe I will embrace that role a little more in life. Do no harm and maybe make people laugh a little too. That may all sound a bit gnomic but it means something to me.
I am getting an increase in listeners on my music streaming on some songs. Its as if suddenly I have become “visible” over the static. I don’t know yet if it’s just a blip though. It may just be a weird anomaly or that I am for some brief moment reflecting things people are feeling. Perhaps it’s like a stopped clock being right twice a day…. More young listeners now too.

We are heading towards either a great enlightenment or a great disaster and disappointment.
I wonder which one?
