You don't deserve koa.
Funny and oddly unsurprisingly that this is almost certainly the most ‘successful’ thread I’ve started over my 25 years or so with online forums.
I know you didn't and don't generally ask for mojo, but sending some anyway. Thanks for starting the thread.Chemo fatigue is really taking a toll on me, mentally.
I don’t think I’ve done so much as touch a musical instrument in 10 days or longer. Really, I think that the only times it’s happened have been while I’m traveling, ending a major project, in the process of moving, or being in a hospital.
I’m not bored yet, thankfully. Still happy to read and write, listen to music, binge-watch, play chess, spend time with my family… play PlayStation, gods forgive me.
But I don’t feel like me. I miss doing the things that I love. I miss running, taking the dogs out. I miss canoeing. I don’t have the energy to go out for a show or a concert. I don’t have the energy to do any real cooking, even. Fuck, I even miss things like doing the chores or even for taking care of @DdBob when he needs Canadian recovery time.
It’s a drag. I wouldn’t recommend these drugs for purely recreational purposes. You’re better off sticking with the holy herb.
Nice!Heard something quite surprising but positive about my work situation this week. It could of course come to nothing but fingers crossed it comes to fruition.
Totally unrelated, we had a firm out to power wash out roof today and I can't believe how happy the difference has made me when I pulled in after work!
Saturday was 1 year sober. I did it! Now to get hammered. Just kidding.
Still struggling to eat and no answers from medical. Actually got really light headed this morning before I could shove some form of breakfast down my throat. That'll last me about 2 hours.
OOOgachukka......Definitely recognizing how much music is tied to my mental health.
Had a practice a week ago for an upcoming wedding gig, learned some fun new songs (Sister Hazel, new Mraz, and "Hooked on a Feeling") and it's completely turned my attitude around.
Trying to keep that in mind even when I'm not feeling 100% with more playlists that make me happy, energize me, or keep me focused. :baimun
OOOgachukka......
you know that BJ Thomas did the song first, with no ooogahchuka, back in '68.....right ?I set up the 4th channel of my Sheeran Looper to be the only one that my Vocal Mic will record to... the rest of the time it just passes through to the board. I can sing, play, and loop on the other three channels and only the instruments will record and loop until I select that fourth channel to create a loop. I've already practiced doing one loop of "OOOgachucka..." then overdub 3 more pulled back from the mic a bit with slightly different inflections.... close the loop and then sing "I can't stop that feelin...." with the OOGah's still looping.
Yeah... it was written by Mark James that wrote for Elvis... then BJ Thomas recorded it.... and then a Brit recorded it... Johnathin something.... and HE was the one who added the Oooga Chucka. The Blue Swede version is a Cover of the Cover.you know that BJ Thomas did the song first, with no ooogahchuka, back in '68.....right ?
