Clicking through old posts via my 'random posts' widget I saw my entry "Day 1", dated 25th February 2008. This was Day One of my attempt to start carving some success as a musician or artist of some sort. This site shows how far I am with that.

I thought I'd find out how many days I am into my project now. Date.today - "25 Feb 2008".to_date Today is Day 260. A round number. Not as round as, say, one hundred though.

4th June 2008: my 30th birthday. I got a surprise party! Just like I always wanted! And this:



Day 101 involved me losing my best friend, most promising musical collaboration and the path I'd decided to take towards achieving musical success without having to be lonely. A laptop was destroyed in the process. I'm still somewhat less-than-chuffed about that whole development.

Let's fast-forward to Day 200. Friday 12th September. No - let's go to Day 210 - that's when I decided I wasn't capable of being in the foreground, artistically, and started pursuing the more pragmatic and realistic aim of focusing on production. More geeky, less fraught. Along I go.

Day three hundred will be the 21st December. I thought I was going to have a million pounds by about day three hundred. That would have been three thousand three hundred and thirty three pounds a day. I suppose that's something of a high expectation to have of myself. Suffice to say I'm a long way off. And, well, now I need to get twenty five thousand pounds a day to meet by goal by day three hundred.

Anyway, if it wasn't obvious, I spend too much of my time looking inwards. I think I shall step out of my comfort zone and make a phone call.
