Fluffy Pink Dream Land

Here are chatGPTs reasons or excuses… Not entirely convincing to be honest.

People can let you down and disappoint for various reasons, and it’s essential to recognize that individuals are complex and influenced by different factors. Here are some common reasons why people may let you down:

And here is a song: Fluffy Pink Dreamland
Just for you 🙂

  1. Communication breakdown:
  • Misunderstandings and lack of clear communication can lead to unmet expectations and disappointment.
  • Unrealistic expectations:
  • Sometimes, people may not be aware of your expectations, or they may have unrealistic expectations themselves, leading to disappointment when reality doesn’t align with those expectations.
  • Different priorities:
  • People have different priorities in life, and what might be important to you may not hold the same significance for someone else. This misalignment can lead to letdowns.
  • Lack of commitment:
  • Some individuals may struggle with commitment, whether it’s to relationships, responsibilities, or promises. This can result in disappointment when they fail to follow through.
  • Personal issues:
  • Everyone faces personal challenges and difficulties. External factors such as stress, health issues, or personal problems can impact someone’s ability to meet expectations.
  • Incompatibility:
  • Differences in values, goals, or lifestyles can lead to disappointment, especially when those differences become apparent over time.
  • Selfishness:
  • Some people may prioritize their needs and desires over others, leading to actions that let others down.
  • Lack of empathy:
  • Insufficient understanding or empathy towards your feelings and needs can result in behavior that causes disappointment.
  • Poor time management:
  • Some people struggle with managing their time effectively, leading to delays, missed deadlines, or unfulfilled promises.
  • Fear of commitment or failure:
    • Fear can hinder people from fully committing to relationships or responsibilities, causing them to let others down to avoid potential failure or disappointment.
  • Changing circumstances:
    • Life is dynamic, and unexpected changes in circumstances, such as job loss or family issues, can affect someone’s ability to fulfill commitments.
  • Lack of accountability:
    • Some individuals may find it challenging to take responsibility for their actions or admit when they fall short, contributing to disappointment.

It’s important to approach these situations with empathy, understanding that people may have their own struggles and reasons for their actions. Open communication and managing expectations can help mitigate disappointment in relation

But maybe sometimes….

January and all that

Well its arrived again, I am sure we had one only 12 months ago. Dull, Cold and Grey like a Dickensian firm of solicitors. I have been clearing out old papers, bill and similar in the feint hope that the place would look less of a mess, but its hasn’t worked. So far I have 2 gigs in the book for next year. Not a lot but at least its not zero. The world is a complicated and contradictory place at times. Particularly the human condition and the strange, wants needs desires and impulses that arise from our fleshy being. Many of us are left with itches that are far too dangerous to scratch. Its hard not to succumb. The temptation is there though trying to pull us off our true compass heading and straight on to the rocks. Or perhaps that is just me….
Trying not to go mad in winter. It ought to be a self help book really.

Here is a new song. I bet you never saw that one coming 🙂 What’s it all about. As usual only you the listener can decide of course. There may be clues in the lyrics of course.
Its Called “I Am So Easily Lead”

I often find getting started each day very difficult, but by the evening I am usually quite lively and this used to work in my favour when I was playing gigs as I would often get home at 03.00. Now I am so often just watching YouTube. Times have really changed a lot for me. At the moment I am watching the Avengers (Steed and Mrs Peel) that is, not the Marvel crowd. Its a great looking show but very much of its time of course.

Theoretically I could do some music recording and production at any time of day almost. If am recording it might take a day or a week depending on what it is. So I might do an hour one day and 5 the next. And not at any particular time, so I could be doing something at midday or not start till the afternoon. It al depends on the day and what I am working on. Sometimes I may just stop and do something unrelated for a while. I don’t have any hard and fast rules. Sometimes you need to be inspired and you just get stuck of course. I do have motivation aplenty a lot of the time. Stuff gets done but not too any particular timetable or order though.

Here are my most recent tracks:

There is always something unfinished

Here’s a tune called “Tin Foil Hat On 1234”. And why not indeed. I am not sure what its about but I am convinced it has a sincere and profound message for you to find if you listen to it often enough. What do you think it means, other than yesterday’s cold pizza for breakfast. Meaning is often overrated and best left to philosophers I feel. Yesterday I had the first rehearsal of 2024 with a band I am in called the Sonic Boomers. Great fun and its sounding pretty good. We just need a few gigs now having made our début last year with a handful. We are ever hopeful, or deluded. Possibly both in equal measure of course. We won’t be playing “Tin Foil hat On 1234” though. Yet! 🙂

My back seems to be a bit unhappy after yesterday’s efforts. I might have carried stuff a bit too enthusiastically I think. It is very easily done. I still move quickly when I am active. You just forget that although you are feeling energetic at the time you may pay a price for it later. You feel better and you think I don’t need to make two trips to the car and then your doomed. It is a very fine line between that and loosing upper body strength at times. When we came out of the two years lockdown although I could walk OK I felt quite weak in my core and I still am. That makes your back worse too of course. You feel better and you think I don’t need to make two trips to the car and then your doomed.

That makes your back worse too of course. Today is therefore a bit of an enforced “taking it easy” one.

We have had flooding in this area in the last couple of days, that’s has caused a bit of bother with water running off the fields on to roads rather than sinking in to the ground.

Diana Stone say welcome to 2024 with love xxx

Smile it may never happen but if it does, run away very fast…





Happy New Year we hope

I am fighting my usual winter malaise at present. My mood drops very rapidly sometimes. Literally from one day to the next. I looked at my diary for last year at this time and I was a lot busier even then. There seem to be less and less opportunity’s for me personally with regard to live music as time has passed. That’s a shame. I have tried getting involved with a few things of course, but its slim picking’s right now. Plus to much time for introspection brings up some very odd and disturbing mental landscapes. I now know why people get old weird and crazy if left to long to their own devices. At the moment I feel I am starting to rust.
