What To Do Next?
I'm giving up alcohol for good and also the anti-depressants. I'm going to confide in music and try to stay positive.
What's On My Mind?
The past couple of months I've been on anti-depressants due to severe depression, I've suffered from insomnia and sleep apnea. It's hard to pin-point exactly where my mood has gone downhill. I've got lots of friends although there are only a handful I keep in touch with on a daily basis and the other friends I rarely see witness me in a state of intoxication due to excessive amounts of alcohol.
I think I'm losing touch with my friends and family, since my Dad is always at work I never seem to spend as much time with him than I should do. I only keep in contact with a handful of family members.
I'm not sure if I just need a break away from England, I've never actually been abroad to another country... except for Wales for the FA Cup Final back in 2004. I would love to tour America and Japan, even better if I could perform my music there.
The absence of a relationship hurts me more than anything, it seems as though no matter what I try I never seem to get anywhere. I lost an excessive amount of weight in the second half of 2010 in an attempt to improve my confidence with women and my self esteem. A year and a half later I'm still in the same predicament and I'm wondering if I wasted my time and effort.
I find comfort in music, I prefer subtle tones and mellow moods contrary to heavy bass and loud drum beats nowadays. There was a time when my Ipod was filled with "Old Skool Rave and Hardcore" from 1988-1994 and I used to love 1970s and 1980s Dancehall music from the Caribbean. Nowadays I'm listening to purely independent music with the odd mainstream song from Pre-2002.

Hello and Welcome!
Hello, this is my first ever attempt at blogging, I figured since I've got a lot on my mind I figured I post my thoughts into this blog!....
I'm an 18 year old going on 19 in a few weeks from a borough of London called Bermondsey, home of Millwall FC and home of famous Rock 'n' Roll musician Tommy Steele. I was born here in 1993 and I've lived here all of my life in the same house brought up by Father and Mother (who sadly passed away in 2010). Music has been a massive part of my life since 2007 when I first discovered how to compose music. Music was never focused on my mind at first, I always used to see music as background noise for my daily lifestyle during Secondary School. As time went on I studyed music for GCSE levels and then A and AS Levels. During that duration I discovered a large amount of new genres, new albums, new songs, some of which the normal 16 year old growing up in Bermondsey would've never even heard of. I used this as an advantage to become more creative and become more broad minded and versatile.
I spent literally hours at home using sites such as Discogs and independent music sites such as Pitchfork Media to discover new music, whereas, all my friends at school were listening to the chart music which didn't really appeal to me because I saw all the new mainstream chart music as "repetitive drivel". I still hold those opinions today in 2012 where nothing has changed. I still find myself discovering new music from the 1970s-80s and 90s influenced by the use of Youtube and music blogs. I've been collecting Vinyls since January 2010. The audio quality of them appealed to me since they were 10000000 times better than any old mp3 or CD. I will be able to list my collection in due time as they're stashed up in my bedroom
Cheers for visiting my blog, I should have a LOT to say about music and other stuff :D
