complaints?.:
I haven't been updating regularly. There was a point of time in my life a few years ago when I was blogging daily, and a few times a day even. It's difficult for me to find subjects to blog about because I don't normally write about daily occurrences nor do I talk about trivial matters.
I also just realised that most of the things I talk about are my personal bugbears and vexations. All this negativity is killing my karma.
I don't know the textbook term for this kind of psyche, but I'm the fun-loving kind of person who keeps his gripes to himself and then releases them in another form, usually creatively. This normally gives birth to songwriters of the metal genre, whose lyrics aren't normally known to be subtle. It shows in mine as well.
I'm singing in this band that I formed (in my head) about a year and a half ago and only started activity last month. In the year and a half that I didn't have a physical band, I tried writing lyrics. I wanted to keep the theme of the band as casual and fun, but the lyrics that I keep churning out just spells brood and angst.
The guitar parts I write do not suffer the same problem though, thankfully.
I was thinking of a heavier or metal version of The Barenaked Ladies, Tenacious D or The Flight Of The Conchords. Their lyrics are witty, funny and entertaining. It's not that I'm trying to deviate from the norm or anything like that... I just want to play something happy to entertain people. The Law Of Attraction states that if you want something to come into your life, you have to envision the same exact feeling you'd feel when you finally get it.
It's not impossible, but it definitely doesn't help being surrounded by cynics. Meditating and working out definitely helps though. Speaking of working out, I need to dust those dumbbells off and start using them once again, hoping that my cerebrum will be engulfed by endorphins when I'm done.
Life can't be better. :)
