I seem to have arrived at a point in life where I cannot seem to go forward or turn around and go back the way I came. Everything has gone a bit stale. I have been attempting to plough on with musical endeavours but I am beginning to feel that I am simply repeating myself and have very little left to say. I don’t know if that’s the case but it feels like I have come to the end of a very long road which has gotten narrower and narrower and turned in to a muddy path leading to a brick wall on in industrial estate in some place a bit like Luton or another representative uncouth place of a similar nature. Not much is sparking creativity and even the application of some forms of musical viagra or other artificial stimulation are lighting the candle and summoning the muse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My growing irritation at events also continues to build. Is it just boredom? Has the freedom to just get on with stuff turned out not to be the glorious creative liberation I expected once the friction, roadblocks and diversions of life in general have been mostly removed. hard to say but maybe that’s a good part of it. I feel a bit tired to be fighting battles anymore or striving to be honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
