Excercise the Mind and Body
Not only did I work on homework, but I got some strength training in this evening and I am sore and exhausted. I'm not fairing too well in accounting already and it's only chapter one. I am somehow off by $1,000 and while I stare at the sheet and rewrite and rework everything along with looking at notes and examples in the book, I can't figure out why as of yet. I asked my friend to aid me tomorrow in a bit of tutoring so I can get on the ball. It's difficult for me. This isn't a puzzle where I can take all of the pieces and fit them together to create the picture or a 3-D object. While that may seem somewhat visual or spacial, I must admit I am a very kinesthetic learner. I do much better with hands on material than looking at a book and trying to figure out problems.
I've been hearing some good things from friends and fans about the Dope Show and Drive and I have to give you all a big THANKS, because I really appreciate the input and I'm very glad you enjoy the tunes.
I am currently working on a new tune at home which is completely devoid of lyrics. I can assure you I have the entire song mapped out musically via the guitar, but as for melody and lyrics forget it. This is something that hasn't happened in a while. In fact, it brings me back to the song Gravity. I had originally written the guitar part first and just assumed it would be a classical-type of piece. I think where I am having the most trouble with this song is that musically, it is very moving on a emotional scale and I'm not exactly sure how to captivate such a feeling and in what perspective. Is it a love song? A song about heartbreak? Is it a song about other worlds? It feels like it's trying to inspire something.... At first I was inspired to write about some sort of relationship between space and time and inter-dimensional travel. Yes, I am not kidding you. I thought of trying to toss the idea around that anything is possible if you believe it to be and if you work hard enough for it. We will see what happens. I don't exactly have time anymore to continue reading scientific theories with classes. Maybe I can just deal with what I've read up on and see what becomes of it.
Oh yes, I am keeping my migraines in check now. Some of you whom are close may have known me to have a problem with this. Any migraine sufferer knows how much they suck! Anyway, I finally went and saw a specialist, got on a better medication to keep them at bay and it was nice to hear that "I'm in control". If anyone has heard my song Drive, you'll understand why that can be such a meaningful line. There may be many aspects of your life that you may not realize that you let slip right out of your hands and just don't do a damn thing about or are too afraid to. That's why it's important to seek these out and learn how to take control of them. Kind of like standing on your feet for the very first time and taking your first step forward.
I should probably head to bed now. The sun comes up earlier and earlier.
