On topic, feel pretty weird of late. Like "dissconnected" if thats the right word?

Wrote a big ass post but deleted it, as i tend to ramble but maybe its just the stress of trying to find a place in our measly budget, hiding my gf from the landlord for 3 months+ and just being abit down about this lame ass job and my general lack of direction.

De-realisation? where the world doesn't seem real and your just floating about. Tis a sign of emotional stress/worry/anxiety whatever you wanna call it.

Finding a place to live is fucking hard and stressful on a budget, Colliers wood is an ideal place though if your looking for a small flat in south London cheap. Can get a decent flat for £900 a month.

Hmm I guess, I mean Im aware its all real haha, I think its just like I sit here and think what do I contribuite to anything? I swear if I fell down a deep hole tomorrow outside of my gf and people at work wondering why I wasnt in, nobody would really notice.

Flatwise, everything is £1000+ now, like Wolf said Coliers wood is even further, not that its a bad place atall but I am trying to go up rather than down but I guess thats not possible. We are looking at a place tomorrow in Balham for £1080, the plan was to go in at £1k and maybe I just need to come to terms with having to pay alot to live in London.

I duno, maybe just feeling sorry for myself, I mean god im sure there are peopel worse off than I.

Welcome. I'm told this gets easier if you make a child and have meaning thrust upon your life, but human existence is one massive balancing act between the need to believe in having purpose and the uncomfortable glimpsed realisations that there is no fucking purpose, no matter how successful or 'involved' any of us are.

The best thing you can do is try and create a lifetime of nice days for yourself and the people you love and have faith that other people feel the same way; it's just we're usually feeling too alienated to actually tell you.

One doesn't just accidentally drive a car with the numberplate H982 FKL through Argentina for Top Gear, does one?

The fact that it's all meaningless makes it better in some ways. Stop trying to be a good person and just enjoy the fact you exist and make the most out of your time here.

Yes. Exactly. The lack of higher meaning or the opportunity to enter a High Score when you die actually takes a lot of the pressure off... the only judge on my deathbed will be me and I'm famously biased.

Haha maybe so.
I guess you all have points.
Mixed into that is a feel my social life has dropped off atleast comparative to the last few years but then it cant allways be a case of more friends, bigger parties, more trips etc each year can it?

I then also think this whole FB/Twitter thing, if I wasnt linked into that would it feel like you were "missing out" on so "much" or would I be happier and blissfily ignorant?

I could ramble on about all sorts and I really should do some more work..

dunno wether to post this in happy or pissed thread

my mate just moved into this like 2 million pound 4 floor, 7 bedroom town house kitted out to fuck and its CRAZY

guys gone away for a year who owns it and its spose to jus be 4 people there but cus he couldnt rent it he gave it to 9 of them on the sly . so its like £300 a month each. THATS A £100 LESS THAN MY SHITYY 2 BED

but at the same time i can chill there whenever i want, it has balcony and roof that overlook the whole of bristol and my mates room which was the kids room has this built in second level with matresses a flat screen and a fireman pole

they're all hippy fundraisers too except my mate lol

peak his life has peaked at the age of 22

Went through the same thought process tbh, looked at flats as central as possible as cheap as possible, you gotta give on either how central you are, how nice a place you want, or price willing to pay.

Flat in Colliers Wood would be farrrrrrr nicer for the same money than in Balham.

Also i have lived in both Balham and Colliers wood and preferred Colliers Wood tbh, they are also investing loads into the area at the moment because they are turning that massive tower into flats.

24 hour tubes will mean its pretty much as accessible to london as Balham +/- 6/7 minutes

loads of flats here for 900-1000 http://www.gibbsproperty.com/

i wonder how i could make my music more known.. i don't wanna contact any labels but i'm starting to get more confident about my material and genuinely think my last three or four songs i've put out are genuinely alright, i'd listen to them.

Do a free ep, advertise on FB focused to people who like similar music, spend 10-20 quid and get your free EP out there.

or

Send to djs?

or

Send to youtube channels?

contact labels mate

should be ur first port of call i think apart from feedback from other producers and friends

don't put half baked stuff up in public (stuff you'll listen to in a year and be like this is shit)

[xtcvsmistycold]

yh and send to djs as well

djs and labels

lol cheers

i'm not into labels too much, at least with this type of music. i don't know any labels i could imagine my stuff released on. its more of a free DL type ting imo. i'm very inspired by shlohmo, suicideyear, clams casino and rnb & hiphop etc

and yeah believe me i've learnt my lesson about the half baked stuff. i mean for the 4 or so years i've been producing i've been uploading my shit from the get go and i've deleted sooo much of my stuff and it really didn't take a year at most times. more like a day or a week lol

and yes i sorta have a DJ plug already, been sending my stuff to tes la rok and few of his mates who run this great show on the radio (groundwire, theres a topic in general) they've played a lot of my stuff but they're not exactly active nowadays, don't put up nights or work with music in general guess they got other things to do

didnt have anything to do today so i waitedf by my home phone for a cold caller so i could use that one seinfeld line
