I can't concentrate, I can't wade through my material at all, I CAN'T EVEN READ A BOOK! When I do get out, usually to a band job, I have a pretty good time, but I even isolate on breaks. I'll wander off to a quiet corner and play with my iPhone.
I am doing one thing, I'm buying a bicycle! I used to ride when I was in high school and college, I really loved it, and I think I will again. Getting some exercise and sun should be good for me. Hopefully I'll get skinny again!
And so the endless struggle continues...

Yeah the idea of a bicycle sounds like fun! The car goes too fast and we miss alot of the scenery so a bike has two benefits...sightseeing and toning up our bodies. Yes, I gained a few inches from the meds and since I've been off I lost 5 lbs...it not a landmine but it's a start.
But don't take heart...playing and singing helps relieve some emotions and gives others a reason to smile too.
I was at the Fest for Beatles Fans last night. Wow I miss the days of watching my ex play but that's where I have grown. I go to the Starving Artist in City Island and watch those bands play there, too. So I still enjoy a good (simple) night out.
I sound like I go out alot and I don't....just to make it clear. I probably been to the Starving Artist 2 times in the past 2 years. But I have to keep telling myself that it's all possible. I don't like ppl yelling and if I'm in a crowd that's too controversial I'll go to my cell phone and check my email or write something on myfacebook. It's my new addiction facebook....as is this laptop. Atleast being on the computer I'm awake. I find that being here keeps me away from sleeping too much. I too can sleep my life away and it's not why I was put on this earth for....to sleep my life away. I had to add that...I'm not always so cheery but I'm trying not to be depressed cause I have a lot to be grateful for.
Hang in there!!!
