a big change? how is this possible

has something happened to me? after DECADES of um, making plans, and not following through on them, and feeling guilt and shame because of this, comparing myself to others, incorrectly concluding that everyone else is doing better they me (you aren’t)
and eventually, giving up on making plans, because the mere THREAT of feeling the guilt and shame, was SO STRONG…. if I didn’t finish something… (so many things indeed take work for many days, and if I couldn’t finish it, that day… it is so hard for me to come back to it at all, that, well, guilt and shame ALWAYS followed.

so eventually, no plans. no doing.

so…

since monday… been happening for weeks now)

somehow…

I have been

1. working on uh, deleting crap from my computer, daily.
2. cleaning my “filthy” house, daily.
3. actually DOing things on a list, things that lead to playing more music and making money.

um,

why?

and why hasn’t it STOPPED is my question…

perhaps all these years, and therapy and my courage will pay off yet.

easy to concentrate in certain places

why are there “certain places” that I actually DO feel like concentrating in… and others I do not AT ALL?

(and why are most of them MANY MILES from my house?)

and why, at present, do they include

coffeehouses that are:
1. well-lit
2. open late
3. with LOW CEILINGS…..(figure that one out)
4. somewhat near to a downtown-like area, where there a sense that something “fun” is happening in said area “later tonight” and
5. full of BOOKiSH people STUDYING…

why does this conduce (nice) me to actually want to be productive???

pop music, funky or otherwise

man, if pop (or rock) music just had a funk-beat, and slightly jazzier harmony, I wouldn’t CARE about the (mundane is probably the word) stuff they are singing about, or even the sounds they are using, or the repetitiveness of it,

JUST LIKE how

I don’t particularly care about the LYRICS to funk or James Brown tunes, or the fact that they ARE repetitive-as-hell.

man, just use less boring harmony, and use a phat frikkin beat. damn you.

hey, I got a better idea-

I’LL do it FOR you!

SELF CONTROL (an APP)

you know, last night, and other times, I use this APP, which BLOCKS any of the internet (facebook) I tell it to, for between 15 minutes and 24 hours.

at such times, provided I’m not at home with “other” distractions, or driving…

that I get things done occasionally.

trouble concentrating?

I recommend it highly:)

signing OFF, bitches.

and yes, it’s icon is a skull and crossbones in a spade. it’s legit, I’m gonna use it right now.
