I've kind of forgotten about this girl, and won't bother. Better that way. But thanks everyone for the advice; I'm sure that a girl that was seriously interested in me would overlook little comments like that. She must not have been if something small made her high-tail it out of there.
Stage 2, Day 16
I spend the weekend with family, getting renewed. I completely finished the program, and now I have to figure out how to put it online and monetize. This is exciting, however I might hit road bumps, since I haven't really put such a large file online and tried to monetize in this way. I will be using the BASE sub once I finish SM successfully; an excellent way to kick off 2015!
I'm going to be hitting the busking scene with a fresh attitude. I went today for nearly two hours and played terribly; probably due to drinking the night before (it affects my fine motor skills until the next day), so I cut it short, went home, and entered deep practice for 2.5 hours!
One of the things I'm doing is cutting back the tempo on my metronome DRASTICALLY; I notice that it reveals all my flaws in technique like a microscope would. After all, if I can't play something clearly at 40 beats per minute (snail-paced slow), would could I expect to play it at 180-200 beats per minute (full speed). I then finished writing a song right afterwards.
I'm reading through "The Talent Code" by Daniel Coyle, and I would recommend it to anyone involved in a skill, ESPECIALLY Shannon, since it stresses the importance of building myelin (a phospholipid that serves as insulation for our neurons), allowing someone with humble beginnings, or is plainly unimpressive, to excel in a complex skill. The book is riveting, so I can say you'll have no problems reading it once you have it in your possession.
All this is making me extremely excited about what's possible, since you can actually (no bs) achieve more in a few days of deep practice than you can from one month of conventional practice (just playing songs).
I'm gonna buy a power pack battery and bungee cords soon, so that I can bring out my 75Watt amp and power it for a few hours while busking, instead of this tin-ey 2 Watt battery-powered mini machine I currently use.
Sex drive has gone up, but nothing happening in direct relationship to women.
