I don't think today was quite as strong as yesterday but I do think progress is being made. I took a day off exercise because my joints were starting to feel funny. They felt better after stretching and, for a long time, I was determined to push through the pain and continue the routine regardless - but then I remembered that this whole thing was based on not letting obsession take over my life. So I took a break. Honestly, I've learnt over the years that you really, really, really need to learn how to rest and recuperate if you ever want to make any progress in life. I'm just always scared a rest will turn into a break will turn into a stall. Still, that's what the blog is for.
In other areas, I stayed productive. My house is still relatively tidy and I transcribed my interview with David Harrington. I found a job I really want to apply for and I fully intend to follow it up once I've got my references in a row. I plan to apply for it sometime next week. It's well out of my league but I need experience at applying for jobs so it'll hardly be a worthless exercise to tackle it.
Creatively, I made a little bit of progress. I finally uploaded the last batch of remixes I did under my Holy Cow alias to soundcloud (which is something I've been meaning to do for a while) and, more importantly, I actually revisited a remix I kind of threw away a long time ago. It actually had a lot of really great stuff in it. It just lacked development from a structural perspective. It was lazy. I'm looking forward to improving it, though, and getting it finally done and dusted.
I tried writing some rhymes but I didn't get very far. Still, the rust will come off eventually.
I'm hoping to go swimming tomorrow but I don't know if I'll follow through. I'm honestly quite scared of swimming as exercise. It's really fucking demanding and I actually like the confidence of doing stuff I'm good at from an exercise perspective (running, freeweights). We'll see how we go.
