Headphones On

You may¹ have noticed that I don't seem to do a lot of writing around here anymore. Why is this? Well... there are a multitude of reasons and I feel a very official looking list coming on...

1. It's not that I'm not writing anymore, but that my meanderings may have taken on a more entrepreneurial tone. More on this later. Maybe.
2. Time. Geez oh pete that Time thing seems not to be my friend. I don't know what I did to good ole Time but I see him less and less until I basically don't feel like we can hang out at all anymore. We've stopped connecting and I need to work on regaining that friendship.
3. Inspiration. I'm a creative. You'd think inspiration would not be a problem for me. You'd be wrong. I tend to notice that my inspiration waxes and wanes in themes... I can be sonically inspired. I can be visually inspired. I can have diarrhea of the fingers or I can stare in futility at a blinky cursor completely unaware of where I want it to lead me. These things all happen but rarely has the musical inspiration coincided with the visual inspiration. I guess this is my round about way of saying my job and the "visual inspiration" portion of my life is taking up an inordinate percentage of my day.
4. Did I mention that Time has stopped returning my calls?

So... in lieu of all these mitigating factors above in the very official looking list... I am considering getting a crackberry. A what? A huh? Yes I know... how could this be a solution to my problem? Well... the free time I do have to think and process things like music and life tends to happen while I'm sitting on a bus or train. Quite frankly I think it's time I took better advantage of my commute... not in a "I'm Going To Have A Machine Glued To My Hand So I Can Play With The Scrolly Wheel Anytime I Please" kind of way but in a "Jot A Quick Note That I Can Email To Myself And Turn Into A More Complete Thought" kind of way.

So... my birthday's coming up... who wants to buy me a Blackberry? ;-)

¹ Or may not? I mean really who am I to think that y'all are waiting with baited breathe on me? Am I that self centered? Answer... no.
²I saw this cat last week... yawn.
