Restraint

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Every month around this time I get overly optimistic about how much money I’ll have left by payday, and get the urge to go buy something that it later turns out I couldn’t actually afford.
This month, that something is Cakewalk Sonar Producer Edition ($US499).
However, I’m going to have some willpower, and will put it on the “maybe” list for next month, assuming I can buy it, and still come out positive financially.

I am fairly committed to buying it pretty soon though – it’s been too long since I’ve been able to do any serious music work.

Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say…

Not Fair!

…so, when Nightwish goes to Sydney, we get DungeonLord as the support act, Again.
When they go to Quebec, they get Iced Earth.

There is no justice.
