A long-winded status update.

As you may or may not have noticed, I was rather quiet online this past weekend- skipped the Friday 13, and none of my usual chatter, other than some poetry/lyrics I had been working on earlier in the week.

It was one of those busy, sleepless weekends for me. I spend a good part of Friday and Saturday working on a new tune, "The Game" (basic lyrics here- verses 1 and 2, the second half of each has changed to fit the music) for T7N, went out for a short while Saturday night, and spent Sunday recovering from lack of sleep (and mild hangover). I took a long, slow walk and later realized that maybe that wasn't such a good idea (bodily pains). But it helped clear the fuzziness in my brain, and that's what mattered.

Sleep should have come easily, but it didn't, not with all the thoughts and complex equations running through my brain.. The need to speak to others, and the inability to do so. The various mental blocks. Words and rhymes, synonyms and antonyms. Melodies and counter melodies. The things I should be doing, but don't have the time for. Things I wished I could be doing, but could not at the moment. Relationships, and lack thereof. Lack of clarity. All of it, jumbled inside my head, needed to be sorted.

I hate nights like that.

My grandma tried to convince me to go shopping with her on Friday. But I made it very clear that I was not going to deal with that Black Friday shit, and she was on her own. And I recommended she carry a baseball bat with her.

I vaguely remember @J_Boner calling me late Saturday night/Sunday morning. I was so out of it, I don't remember any part of the conversation.

The lack of sleep, and madness, are cleared up now for the most part, and I'm getting back on track. You'll be hearing plenty from me this week, as well as next weekend, and I'll be re-doing my vocals for "The Game" on Saturday, because I'm not satisfied with them yet. I'm really excited about this song- it's got a pretty heavy low-end sound and a lot of attitude. Can't wait to share it.

So that was my weekend, in a nutshell.
