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.
- Word are sometimes just words
Word are sometimes just words. I do not comment on the moral issue of what is reasonable force and what is ‘Defence’ and where it becomes ‘Offence’. How all this will look 25 years from now who knows. I won’t be around to find out. It is still the case wars even now are mostly economically of benefit to to those countries not directly involved as belligerents though this is lined is blurred in many cases. I am now 68 and as far as I can judge it has pretty much … Continue reading Word are sometimes just words - Still too hot.
It’s still to hot for me. Here’s a short Piano mood piece. Just a modal minor tune.It might grow into something else as well though. Diana Stones Glasscage · Afterthought For Piano I feel very worn again. I did a gig at a village fate at Knebworth which was rather jolly fun with the Sonic Boomers but I am a bit done in at present. It’s been a very difficult week to be honest.Sometimes you have to let go a little bit. Maybe this week is one of those?I am a … Continue reading Still too hot. - Its nearly the longest day
Midsummer’s fast approaching. On a personal level it has been a fairly quiet time.A few gigs between various the ensembles’ and a couple of open mic spots.A lot of recording and writing too and a mistaken release of two albums simultaneously due to admin problems. Whoops, did not intend to do that. The usually existential struggle to figure life out in parallel naturally. Once upon a time we knew who the bad guys were and now they are everywhere it seems and in disguise and all around us. Everything, everywhere all … Continue reading Its nearly the longest day - Keep on keeping on
I do wish there was a way to get everybody to a happy place where we could all play nicely together, but it’s not going to happen. Diana Stones Glasscage · Waterfalls once again remembered What I have found depressing is that virtually every word a UK politician says laterly makes Boris Johnson seem like George Washington by comparison. The constant gas lighting and plain old school lying. The constant over representation of the appalling Farage popping up on screens too. I don’t have much to say today really. Car needed … Continue reading Keep on keeping on - Tired Again
This week I am very tired. Again. And its difficult to take an interest in anything much. Diana Stones Glasscage · Somewhere In The MIddle Just watching the world turn is exhausting. I had a visit from my sister for a couple days to help sort out a few things for her. We did most of the things on her list. The rest of the week was working on music projects and a rehearsal. I am a bit worried about how tired I am feeling recently. The news is generally bad … Continue reading Tired Again
