Well, this week has been absolute pish ! The most miserable I’ve in ages, and that’s sayin’ summit. :sad: Like ah couldnae even be bothered gittin’ oot ma bed in maist morning. The rhetoric from my Mum has suddenly changed as well..

Going from: “Dinnae dae this or dinnae dae that” to “Dae whatever ye want” :question: Though we did huv a massive row last night where ah telt her how this week’s actually bin, instead her usual sugar coated “Aw, it’s no that bad” denial. But then again, am still kinda struggling to figure why folk in toxic/abusive relationship tend to stay with the person who’s making them so miserable? :thinking:
Why is simply walkin’ away so difficult in these situations? :idontknow:

And so this week ends on a depressing note... what a surprise ! :sad:

I'm getting really fed-up with my current situation. Can't take this burden of responsibility always being on my shoulders. :kickingmyself: Which in many ways is worse than the constant family drama that I find myself caught in the middle off on a daily basis. It still baffles me how they still can't see their part in playing a huge part in how I turned out to be this frightened, ill at ease, anxious lad. Always feeling like he doesn't belong... anywhere.

Is making music even worth it? Yeah, I got an average talent for it, it's an escape from the reality of my crap-tastic life. But, in the long-term? :question: :idontknow: Guessing I'm over-thinking things, eh? But then that what I do a lotta the time, especially when music is the only things that matters to me in this life. As sad as that is to confess, but it's the truth. I mean, music's the only thing that has made me happy in life. Nothing else really does it for me.

Sorry, I wish I had something better or more upbeat to post about here.
But those event only ever seem to happen when I'm outta the house.
And I haven't ventured out in at least a month.

I know... and I appreciate that. :thumbup:

But still, I’d much better mentally if ah didnae huv to just accept how things are with regards to my family. :sad: As ah said to my oldest sister last night, how things huv bin this past year were how ah remember them. Constant arguments n’ me keeping to myself. Only added fuel to the fire when I lose it and start on the verbally. But unlike the women in my family clan, ah stay on point when I argue and tell it how ah see it.

Ah even went as far as to tell my oldest sibling that ah need to get away for awhile, go somewhere else.

Call your soundcloud SongConnery♂.

:D

Told my oldest sister about this name for my SoundCloud account when she asked if I’d came up with a band moniker yet, as I’d emailed her to tell her I’m on SoundCloud... finally. After a year of being pestered about it. :giggle:

Anyway, she had a good laugh about it, thought for a second and then said: “Aye, go wae that yin. It’s brilliant!” :bigsmile: :thumbup:

Oh, I will! I've been wanting see The Proclaimers live in concert for ages, but always missed out on tickets until recently.

It's not until the end of July like, but it coincides nice with my visit to Edinburgh in August, which I'm still in the middle of planning.

Whoa, whit a night that wus, folks !

And tae think ah nearly said, "Naw, am no gan! Don't feel like it" :eek: Due to being in a right crabbit mood aw week. :thumbdown:
Glad ah didnae keep ma word on that, cuz it wus an absolute belter of a gig. :D Wouldnae huv missed for anything.

Im glad you went and had a great time! You definitely deserved to have a great night out! :perfect::thumbup:

Needed it as well - especially given how things have been at home lately.

Oh, best gig that my oldest sister and I have been to. Definitely tied with seeing The Rolling Stones last month for me in terms of the performances. Though, that gig last night wus quite emotional as well. But, anyway, I'll yap about both gigs when I'm less busy with getting my room uncluttered. :bigsmile:

Okay... now I'm really buckin' nervous.

A couple of nights ago my oldest sister pestered me into doing a CD of the finished instrumentals I've done over the last year. She listened to it yesterday, and now she's praising me for them. Sayin' I've got a knack for songwriting. :eek:mg: But wait, it gets worse...

She even suggested that I tweak the instrumentals, get the mixes right, and send a CD to my local radio station ? :eek:

I hear ya, steady as she goes maestro. :D :thumbup:

:bigsmile: If only the mixing and mastering was as easy as the songwriting...

I’m contemplating backing up my songs onto disc n’ taking my laptop up to Edinburgh with next weekend; and doing the mixing and mastering while I’m staying there for a few days? Might even upload to Sound Cloud, as well... :shyness:

The change of scene might be inspire my songwriting when I get back home? Or, if nowt else, do me a lotta good.

But this service gives me the option of iTunes, Spotify, YouTube and more.
