So another unnamed blogger implanted the ever-tiresome idea of new years resolutions into my brain. Her blog certainly wasnt at all tiresome, just to clarify, the idea itself is a bit of a headache. I think this year Ill set some more defined and achievable goals...
Im not going to say Ill never smoke again, because in some kind of backwards way, it almost becomes an incentive to break the rule and spite my former self. Ridiculous. But with other, more general things, I think it might work.
Im trying to think of a defined musical goal, seeing as thats the thing thats mostly everything. Maybe if I feel like Im working towards something I might be more productive and less... repetitive or something. Independently, I think branching out into more genres is a must, and learning more about the basics of music. Real music. Definitive music. Still sounds vague but oh well. Any objectives with the band, obviously, have to be made collaboratively, but I would so love to have a nice selection of songs. The thought of being able to pick and choose for a set list or an EP... kind of reverts me to a child on christmas morning (which by the way was ace, different, calm, but definitely ace), so hopefully something along those lines will occur, but if Ive learnt anything its that while achievable goals should be set, music should definitely not be forced. In my opinion. Not in most ways, most of the time. Which is why I struggle when I havent got some random flow of creativity, I want that all the time, or at least to have some control of it. I dont want to think of an unusual vocal part while curled on my bedroom floor at 1am, unable to recall the tune by the time Ive reached the end of the draft on my phone. Its so inefficient. That can be on my 'to do's as well, gain some creative control and discipline.
So, I just took a break from this for like 15 minutes. Went on the old myspace, got some bad ass hiccups, cured them using an internet site and... Im too tired to continue. Which is probably for the best because this was getting awful long.
Happy new years eve!
