Giving up cigarettes....

[Monobeat]

This New YEar's I gave up cigareetes and pot, in order to make better music and connect more deeply with a hottie I started dating. The 2 are 100% connected and I've tried to quit either one for 10 years with no luck. It's finally working.

The results::

1) So far no music has been made. I need to relearn how to work on music unfortunately. This shows me that I HAD to quit. I am starting to see the light at the end of the rainbow on the creative front. It's a whole new world.

2) This girl is inspiring and she makes my musical imagination come alive.

3) My bandmates are sad because I am studio obsessive and I am ebbing for a bit as I clear out my head. Even as a prolific DJ, I am feeling a bit of ebb. I usually get home from work and pour through new music for hours, smoking a spliff or 2, then work on music for a few hours before bed.

It's a nice, more balanced world.
