I hate August. So. Much.


Excluding my brother's wedding and seeing family as the month started, I have been working every single day, 10+hrs. When I'm not working, I'm probably developing ulcers from the anxiety of all the work left to do. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be in working everyday until Sat 9/01 or so. With a co-workers wedding (which is definitely a celebration, but ugh I hate huge groups of people I don't know, or I guess being social in general, hah) being a final hurdle Sun 9/02 before I can actually rest and maybe relax. That following Monday (Labor Day Holiday) seems infinitely far away but I cannot wait for the blissful nothing, being cocooned away from everything to start recharging. On the plus side, I do feel like this particular weekend I've overcome one huge task which is physical adjustments at work, so that's a plus.


For now though. I just want to scream. This captures some of that, with an attempt to make it shift to something more dancy but I don't have it in me. Sorry it's short, but I don't have the energy to work much more on it right now. Admittedly, I didn't expect much from this but once I escape the chaos from this month, I could see this having a lot of potential to blossom into a full-blown rockin' industrial tune. Hmm, we'll see.

Oh man, I can totally to relate.  I also think they way you do, try to visualize the ending as a way to cope in the middle of the stress.  I have also been under a lot of stress, but "fun" stress, as I have a show on 9/1 and I am going to try to do a lot of new things for the performance that I've never done before.  Have you ever tried meditation?  That can be a way to capture a little bit of peace to keep you going until when you can "relax" in full.

I know the show will be fun, but I also can't wait for it to be over when I can watch a movie or play a video game, or sit outside and read a book!

I look forward to checking back in with you after 9/2 when are are both totally chilled and relaxed!  I'm sure our tracks that week will be peaceful and ambient wink

The track serves as a nice montage of you FREAKING OUT at work.

Congrats to your bro!

Thanks so much for reading my rambling/journaling, hah! I'm glad to have survived now, and I hope your show on 9/01 was stellar!! I'm sure it was. Meditation - I definitely need to. I used to be pretty good at going for like 1hr walks to just listen to music and focus on thoughts, that always helped. I think now that I'm out of the chaos from work and the summer heat is starting to go away, I'm eager to get back into such a routine!

Thank you and also I hope now you're also relaxing post-performance just chillin' and playing video games! :]
