\"\"Well today was a bad day. I felt very low, sometimes however much I try things just get on top of me. I get angry, frustrated and all logic goes out of the window. \u00a0That’s one of the gifts depression brings to the party. \u00a0 So today I have been trying unsuccessfully to shift my mood with many distractions. \u00a0Listening to music from my teenage years Neal Young, Elton John, Hendrix, Yes and also a bit of other stuff like the Dudley Moore trio. !968 to 1972 in particular was an incredible time more music and revisiting it helped me a bit. \u00a0I am still fighting it out with a French Language course but being dyslexic doesn’t really help to much, but I can’t give up. So many times in my life it seems as though I have had to though. \u00a0Its very frustrating, or maybe I am a lot stupider than I thought I was.<\/p>\n

I also started recording a track\u00a0which will be a song once I have sorted the lyrics into some sort of order. I spent a couple of hours working on that. \u00a0I think it might be a reasonable number if I can get a good enough vocal on it. I can sing but my voice is not going to win awards. In the past I did work with some guest vocalists on some collaboration’s but personal circumstances make that a bit difficult to do here.<\/p>\n

Also I am listening to the sound and production on recordings I really like to see if I can get some sort of warmth into my own stuff. Some of the 70’s stuff is particularly appealing. Perhaps I need to open the doors up figuratively and literally \u00a0and try again?<\/p>\n

Now I am a bit wary of people and i am not always a good judge of character, I can be easily fooled or duped if I don’t keep my wits about me. \u00a0Also I often get suspicious of peoples \u00a0motives and that can get me in trouble if I misinterpret them. The trouble is often ends up with me feeling isolated and cutting myself off from opportunity.<\/p>\n
