Outside of my 2 word answer, I guess that the reason why I am still writing is that I have devoted myself more to my creative persuits other then the typical BMI oriented version of what writing is.

It was much easier and more formidable throwing out a big riff and learning cover songs.
I almost feel dispirited sometimes that which is easier to do is often thought of as more astute and that effort need not apply.
But I knew going in that I was not out to do things the conventional way.
Not that Iam out to do much different other then 3 piece rock.
But I want something that embodies what inspires me, which could be anything.

I stated last spring that I was not going to be on the net for some time and not post as frequently.
I get too glued to it and this is the one site I have been glued to because the members can be so interesting and I like the reciprocation.
I also have very sensitive eyes.
I do not wear glasses and my vision is pretty good, but ultra sensitive to monitors,even though I have done what I can to adjust that in display settings.
Special lenses for reading can harm the eyes when used too much.

It is still something to get used to also using the internet as a vehicle for music.
The musicians that I know of play places and are not on the net nor want nothing to do with the net.
Outside of 1 band that sells ep's. But the band strictly advertises and does not post in forums.
I know there are people like me where I live, but I have always known bands that play places and have worked in public establishments.
Mainly post punk, although they do not like labels.
Musicians like that originally made me want to write.

I am probably going to be on an extended siesta from here for a few months.
But I sure like looking in and what the members are doing with their artistic endeavors.
