So the question seems to be, What am I doing?
I wish I could answer that.
Just got cast in a show at The Hunger Artists. Careless Love. Glen is directing, so it will be a blast. A great cast, a fun part. I get to be really over the top, which I love.
Still singing. Last Sunday, I brought my Mom to my session with my Voice Coach. Had a “mini-recital”. Had a great time. We made recordings of 5 songs for her to take back east (Louisiana & Ohio) with her. I sang “C’est Moi”, “Empty Chairs and Empty Tables”, “Bring Him Home”, “Misty” and “L’esperto Nocchiero”. Not too shabby all said.
So why do I feel like this? I ache. Inside. I can’t sleep without medication. I can’t concentrate (not on anything healthy, anyway).
I need to get motivated. Get moving. I’m planning a vacation. Of course, I have no idea if I can afford it, but it seems to help.
I’ve tried to write lately, but I’m restless. I’ve got ideas, but when I sit down they turn to smoke.
Anybody out there?

Still Reading but can't help ya Bro... I have very little experience in that whole "Emotions" thing. I found them not worth the time a long while back. Every so often they try to rear up, but unless I deem them to be helpful (Which sometimes they are) I lock them back in the closet. May not be what pyscologists would call healthy, but we both know my "feelings" on those quacks.
I find I've replaced emotions, at a basic level, with concepts which define the correct responses to said emotions. Some emotions need multiple concepts but it works at a basic level. Here are some examples:
Love/friendship = Loyality + Duty + Respect
Anger/fear = Courage, duty, Honor, self respect.
This works for me with one Cavet:
If an emotion is very intense or prolonged I carefully examine it before shoving it in the closet and using the programed response.
It keeps me sane...mostly. Not that I could recomend it for others.
