Im wondering....

......or feeling, thinking, seeing, understanding, that I no longer have much to offer people online in the music-world.

About all i have been doing of late is posting on my interest in gear and working on guitars. Not a HAVE to for sure. Just cause im borded i guess??? Feeling thats a waist of your time and mine.

Pretty much just hanging around online of late....BUT, im getting pretty busy now with other things.

Everyone knows who and what i am, my music, views, ect...very few care for that.

To those that DO care, same to you.

I guess over the years i did some things for a few people. I SURE hope so.
I know a few did some good things for me.

OK...enuff....got work to do.

Glad you are finding a way to do work and do things you enjoy with guitars bro.

I know I enjoy reading everything!
Just hard to keep up sometimes.

I find your music relaxing and refreshing.

Everyone one here is a friend to me.
Im happy about that.

I think im getting bored with myself, music, ect, and im changing things alot.

Im not try'n to make "good music", understood music, standard music, or ANY really.
It just expressions of my supresssions...And thats about it.

FOS
I AM FILLED
THAEDEUS SAID
PASSING TIME
FROM THE DARKNESS
RIGHT TIME BEAKDOWN
And about 20 more of my songs are about people here, things we talked about, topics and feelings that came from our group of people.

Most ALL my songs come from SOME kind of person, post, idea,ect. OR the lack there of.

(This is something i dont want to change)

Other things are changing..I hope they get along???

?Can we "change" and keep some things??? yes, but hard.

"change" can be pulling back, OR pushing HARDER and more othen...SO...Change can Excite! as it has in the past for us.

BUT....."Feelings" are different topics....These are "feelings".....But,

Change is good. Not always.
But when it comes from within it can often be very good.

I feel like I'm in a tunnel too.
Just beginning to see things.

I'm very happy with all the inspiration I get here.
My lyrics often don't reflect anything about what made me DO the song.
That's because the words just come out when I listen to the guitars.
I don't control it.

But the motivation to play better and play real and use emotion -- all that comes from you guys.

Sometimes its enough to just talk.

Sometimes its enough just to know that somebody cares enough to listen.

When that goes away you are left with a hole to fill.....and maybe you just can't fill it.

That's what this place is about in some ways....a place for friendship. We are all united by music but just because the music may stop doesn't mean that you can't come here and share.
If its talking about gear or your work or whatever we are still here for each other.

Thats how I feel anyway.

But if you need a break then so be it.....we would miss you though

I sure as Hell would miss you Dace! I love reading about your gear, seeing photos of what you're doing with those awesome guitars (and wishing I had a tallent to do the same!) and you know I love your music too
Stay with us bro, you're family

I'm waiting for the SOLD! guitar thread from Dace!
He's already customized and sold one (at least).

Did not state a "leaving" in this post.
Im being "miss-read" on that.

AM wondering, and changing... if im leaving, i dont know where I would go anyway.

The wondering is about what I have to offer a group of people.
Is it "worth" anything? Or am i waisting there time?
NONE of this means a "leave" from here.

But...you all make me feel wanted, so, cool.

Allready got the (sold) thread in there Z.

DACE>

Well I think you got your answer DACE

Now if you were posting and nobody was interested then I think you would soon know.

As for it's "worth".......again we are all interested and want to support you and what you are doing....whether that is music or working with gear and selling things.

So why not stop wondering and worrying.....its not good for your health

Totally agree with Peter.

MMMmm..Well thanks All.....

My bad writing skills made this post into something it was NOT....

"Feelings",,,,,HARD to put into words, INDEED....

Thanks for the love tho guys...

""Now if you were posting and nobody was interested then I think you would soon know.""

EVERY where but here, IS the case....Most of the time on other sites it is you guys i hear from.

SO!...Point i was TRY"N to make right there.....Was NOT talking about HERE...And was not saying i was leaving out, just changing things.

And alltho i know im wanted here, i also know im not needed here really. Things will go just fine without me if i wish to not be here.

My point or topic was that we ALL feel that way here, i think....And was looking to talk about it some.

But there ya go, I feel im waisting your time once again. (with this topic).

Im sure all have seen my posting drop off, tunes slow up, and my responces short'n.
On other sites the most, but here also.

You guys dont owe me your Attention, OR your time.
That everyone but you guys has blown me off, makes me think why you have not also???

Nigel found something SO wrong with me he wont have anything to do with me.
Many other also i guess.

I ask WHAT am I to do about that? Im who i am....I cant help the fact most dont like that.

All this shit dont mean a thing! its just how it is.

YES..Friends here...(for now)....What happens when that go's away like all other friendship have for me??????

(IM JUST TALKING AND THINKING HERE)....Please dont make something eles of it.

OK, off to work now...Good day to you all.

Keep talking and thinkin' -- it helps.

This is happening to all of us Bro.

But the "situation" doesn't automatically determine the "cause"

In other words there are a lot of reasons people might not respond.
And we don't always know the reasons.

Some people get pissed or whatever. But most are just overloaded with life.

I hear the most from people on Facebook (not counting here of course)
Why?
Because it only takes 20 seconds to fire off a text response.

Even there most people don't listen to song links. Because that takes 4 or 5 minutes.
Doesn't seem like a lot of time. But I know that sometimes it is.
A lot of people post from work and don't even have headphones there. Or aren't allowed to have them.

I understand that you are just talking about your frustrations and we share those.
I think it's safe to say that all of us have had a drop-off in interest in our work online.
It doesn't make our art worth less. It just IS.

We are in this crazy raft together. That is a good thing.

Have a productive and profitable week!
