how to get un-bored?

Hey Abstract,

I just wanted to chime in here that I've been going through a period of not really having the desire to do a lot of the things I used to. For me, I'm sure it has a lot to do with working on myself. With all the reading I do and all the information I'm trying to absorb, I really feel like some of it has to do with allowing for some processing time, as well.

I know I've discussed elsewhere my loss of enjoyment in playing games. I love to draw, but most days I don't have the desire even though it is something I love to do. Of course, I have some family stuff that is taking a lot of energy as well as the work on myself. I just wanted to say I think it seems pretty normal to go through this.

This reminds me, though, I know most days I feel like I'm making just enough energy to get through the day without much left, especially since I've been trying to do the Work. And I will try to find the passage I referring to specifically if you would like, but I am reading ISOTM and G talks about how our bodies make just enough energy to do our most basic functions, not leaving energy for much else. And he talks about learning how to create more energy, which I thought fit very well with this article I was linked to in another thread.

Sorry if this isn't super coherent. It's very late here, but I didn't want to let the thought slip away. :)
 
Hope to hear you playing someday and who knows.. with some members playing together LOL

If you'd genuinely like to see my skills, I can make a little video for you and the others. I could probably get it to you over AIM or email.

I'd love to write some music with you guys if anyone is interested! :)
 
I once read a quote from Louisa May Alcott, I believe, that she could never be bored because she enjoyed her own mind so much.

Well, you have a brain, how about starting to use and enjoy it? Figure some things out and report back instead of constantly asking somebody else what to do. Take the initiative and DO yourself and then stand as an inspiration for others.
 
Hi. I have started a post were i talked about how to use myself learning guitar as an example of the Law of Seven, with all it's deviations and so forth.

Perhaps the discussion could be helpful for this thread.
If it is something you like to do perhaps a new impulse is needed.
 
Laura is correct, why should I be bored? I've not too bad of a brain, yes? Fortunately, it's my day off so I guess i'll write a couple songs and see what happens.

Enough chitchat, it's time to shut up an' play yer guitar! :D
 
Ha, okay, I got something written just now. I actually surprised myself, even though it's not the coolest thing i've ever written, it feels good to accomplish something musical.
That was easier than i thought. Anybody wanna give it a listen? :cool2:

Could be wrong, but to me the drums sounded like a sequencer (having worked on computer sequenced music quite a lot in the past).

*edit* So you feeling less bored now? :D

Very nice! Makes me wish I still had my Ibanez (all I have is my Washburn acoustic now). What music software do you use for recording if you don't mind me asking?
 
Wow!
Reminds me of my good old days of :headbanger:

Keep playing !
I'll be happy to listen to more of yer guitar from my :whlchair:
