It's a long-term thing, I can't concentrate and every time I wake up I have melodies or beats running through my head.
I say long-term, the past couple of months it's been back after a long absence.

It's a distraction technique I think.
My whole life seems to be a battle between left and right brain thinking.

I've always had my head in the clouds.
Just seems my brain wants to keep on going up to space.

You should join Hawkwind.

join Hawkwind

pull your socks up, get your head out of the clouds and act like a man.
( Kroney, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 17:52, Reply)

+ and join Hawkwind.

Why would anyone want to join a band that only gets to play in their local pub because their drummer's dad is a manager of the local leasure centre and the landlord wants them to have their christmas party there?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 17:54, Reply)

Their drummer's dad?
Dave Brock of Hawkwind is 72: I would imagine his dad is manager of the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

Please tell me you looked up his age.
I don't even know exactly how old my Flatmate is, and it was her birthday a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if this says more about you or me.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 18:05, Reply)

I did not look it up - actually he might be 73 now.

How was the Sushi do?
Sorry we couldn't come.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 17:58, Reply)

Total AWESOME, sushi rocks.
Yesterday I found an american resturant not far from that does foot long hotdogs and the most amazing stunning shockingly good bluecheese sauce I have ever had the delight to behold. And their ribs, although arne't hte best in the planet, are fucking good.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 18:07, Reply)

That sounds good.
There's a newish American bar just up from mine in which I bought the best burrito I've had this side of the Atlantic yesterday. Interesting beers too, though I know that's not your scene.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 18:14, Reply)

The beers I can take-or-leave, but the burritos sound awesome.
Man, I'm really hungry now, and I'm working well late every day this week.

I should have had a proper lunch =(

Are they/we left-handed (I am)?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 17:47, Reply)

no necessarily, but it's more likely
I'm right handed, but not very - I do some things left handed. If I'm honest I'm more cackhanded and clumsy

That's me when I'm trying to sleep.
I'm afraid I have no cure for this.

Sing them into a dictaphone and transcribe them later? Perhaps 'dealing with' your frustrated creativity will lay it to rest for a bit? I'd like to know if this works.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 17:46, Reply)

Interesting.
It's when I wake up, usually, even if it's four in the morning and I just turn over and wake up slightly, all of a sudden there's stuff racing around my head then it's taken over by music. Then I can't clear my head and get back to sleep.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 17:49, Reply)

I'm afraid to say, Monty is right
do something creative and it'll calm it down a bit
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 17:51, Reply)

We'll see I reckon, I desperately want to get rid of it cos I can't sleep in any more.
In fact this is the worse I've slept in a long long time.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 17:54, Reply)

I've got a gizmo that has my radio plugged into it
When I wake up I press the button and it gives me 40 minutes of radio 4 and then goes off. I'm always asleep again within 5 minutes.

When I cannot sleep due to work stress mixed with MDs
I have found getting up and writing a to-do list immensely helpful. Then I can get back to writing pointless and endlessly-repeated riffs...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 17:54, Reply)

I've done that a few times, write that shit down and get it out of your head.
But once I've found the coordination to find my glasses, turn on a light, get a pen and pad together and actually write something, I'm awake.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 17:55, Reply)

Ah, well you see, my problem
is that I am more awake than one could believe possible already, so even if I did wear glasses this couldn't make things any worse...

Yeah monty just scrawls it in shit and tears all over his sheets in the dark
