Something's Goin' Down In The City

Ya know how annoying it is when people are happy and they feel the need to tell you how happy they are.

Or when people write words like 'YA' !

Well...I'm really enjoying this 'creative period' I've assigned myself at the moment... We are making progress mixing the Bilamie album, I'm mastering an album for an old band mate, might be collaborating with someone from college on an electro/techno song (writing/singing a vocal) and I've nearly finished a new Web Sheldon song too - which is going to be pretty different from anything I've recorded in the past (out....this.....week.... i hope!!)

I thought when I was unemployed I was going to have loads of free time but it's really not the case. Aside from all the music stuff (number one priority), I was going to continue learning Spanish but that plan has gone on the back burner having being sacrificed for other daily things like weight lifting, singing exercises and meditation. But they are all going well.  Except I'm finding meditation incredibly challenging!  Trying to clear your mind and concentrate on one thought for 15 minutes - almost impossible. lol

I'm trying to pay attention to this phrase at the moment; 'work smart, not hard'.  I am someone who will happily start several tasks at once and work on them simultaneously.  And I think that is ok, because you need variety in the work you are doing - but the point I have to stay fixed on now is the end goal - getting things finished... but I'm setting myself deadlines and it seems to be working well.

Although this week one of my deadlines looming is to design and order business cards both for Bilamie and Web Sheldon and I spent 2 hours this morning trying to work out how to utilise Photoshop...lol

Ohhh on Friday, I'm going into college to work with a mate who is mastering a couple of songs on proper hardware (instead twisting nobs on a computer screen, we'll have a real desk!) so that's pretty exciting.

And I guess I should sleep now as tomorrow there is another full day ahead! :D

So in conclusion:
1. New song very soon.
2. Meditation is REALLY DIFFICULT.
3. And we *best* have a thunderstorm soon. Just because I love them.

Buenas Noches :)
