So, uh ... I don't really know what to make of all that, dear reader(s). 'You didn't receive the email in that state, boss.' Yes I did. 'No you didn't.' Well, that's what it looked like after I copied and pasted it from the PDF attachment. 'Okay, but why did you take out the full stops and some of the capital letters?' I never did that. 'I saw you!' Shut up, idiot.
I just can't get the staff.
...
Anything else? Music? I've been working on that tune I wrote about last week. [Oh, in the temporary post. It's gone!] I've changed the key from C to D. It sounds better now. Also, I've added a great pre-chorus. The song is a pop/rock ballad, and it seems to be building up to a massive chorus. I'm hoping it will be in my TOP THREE when it's finished, yes ... with Nothing and This World Don't Mean a Thing. But it won't be on the album, no. I'll save the song for ... the second album, or a single. Ha! I have an embarrassment of riches.
I'm not embarrassed though.
So ... anything more else? Er ... I can't think of, uh ... anything. I'll be doing a conceptual later, obviously.
I suppose I'm sort of making one of my infamous fresh starts today. I mean, the summer will be over by the end of the week. It's a good time for it. I've only been doing the hypnosis once a day lately. I'm going back to twice a day. I'm worried that anxiety will creep in if I stop altogether. I need to stay focused on the light at the end of the tunnel, you dig?
Anyway ... later(s), alligator(s)!
