Stuck

Something has been bugging me lately, the last few days. Can't really figure out what, though.

Working on our booklet assignment, I have this feeling I will never be quite satisfied, mostly because I don't really know what colors I'm drawn to, or I think the band could like. Now it's a pink/purple/green combination, but what if they don't see a fierce album cover, only something that for some odd reason reminds them of the green goblin in Spiderman? (that's what I see in my minds eye. the cartoon version, not the one from the movie)

On a more personal level, in my own private misery of making music I am very, very...stuck. Completely. I have this need for a band, a real one, with musicians that truly know their craft. People that can put a little personality to it. I'm sure they're out there, but I don't know where to look. We were talking, me and a friend, but he and the boys are all so busy (and I get that), but it puts me in a standstill and well...

And the other thing, I find myself writing the same song over and over again. It's boring me out and driving myself from the piano and I'm suddenly spending all my free time in the kitchen.

Come to think of it, I'm doing it again. What I have been doing for years, throwing myself into other projects so I don't have to roll up my sleeves and do what I really want. 'cause THAT would be scary, to say the least.

Well, hope this little post can service as a good kick in the butt.

New Beginnings

A few changes have occurred. One, I'm pretty sure you can tell right away - this is no longer a text in my native language. Why the change? I happen to believe, as many of you, in the international potential of the internet. We're going global.

Second. My objectives have changed. Yes I'm in part still on my quest for the perfect jeans, but I no longer wantit to be my main focus here. Mainly because I have a tendency to turn down shopping, on my lazy days, in favor of my beloved piano. So, I will keep you updated on my search for jeans (because I know oh so many of you are dying to know how it turns out...) but I will from now on concentrate on another goal in my life.

Warren Greshes (also known as the most brilliant man alive. he and Malcom Gladwell) have urged me to set goals for my self. Big splendid beautiful goals. And so I will.

Goal: To make a neatly made, pretty and shiny album. Music. On a disc.

May sound simple but this time it has to look, smell, taste, feel and sound professional.

According to my plan, deadline is the 31st of September. I will let you follow my agony, my creative process and hear songs in their rawest edition to a more refined product.

I will end this post with this days most perfectly put lyrics:
"I know you might roll your eyes at this, but I'm so glad that you exist."
