The purpose of this personal blog is to hold myself accountable for creating music, which is what I’m meant to do, and I’m running out of time. It’s been really difficult going through life the last 30 plus years knowing who you are supposed to be in this world, and doing everything else under the sun but that. Has this been my choice? Maybe so, but I must first make ends meet and take care of my own. The former alone is very time consuming and draining. Another reason I am motivated to start this blog is that I have a really strong new idea for a song, as well as many other ideas, both new and old, waiting to be developed or rehashed. It’s far past time for me to make my voice heard. I already have grey hair. I have grown past listening and watching from the proverbial other side of the barricade. The clock is ticking.
It’s been very challenging to get back on the horse again. Things have been very discouraging of late, health-wise and economically. Also, I’m trying to quit vaping, which is know is killing my motivation and affecting my overall health. Not to mention chronic kidney pain for the last two years, and doctors who have no idea what the source of the problem is. They sure have no problem taking all my money though, while they provide no answers. However, I still have a lot of fight left in me, and will not give up the ghost any time soon. I will find a way to work through these health issues.
Six-Month Goal
- Create an EP by Spring 2026
Monthly Goal
- Complete a rough structure for said idea with at least lyrics for a chorus
- Aim for song structure complete by Sunday
Weekly Goal
Record something at least 5 times, for at least a one-hour session each
Notes
Verse and chorus ideas are there, which should make it simple, as I’m also already hearing a bridge. Lyrics ideas are already there. Today, I will do the verse riff to kick things off.
Man, I used to be so motivated and could execute and make amazing compositions quickly. I don’t understand why that has changed, likely due to loss of metabolism and testosterone.
