Day 69

I didn't go back to the guitar design today. I hate to admit it, but as soon as something feels like work I let it go, even if it's my favorite thing in the world.

I don't know if that's why I haven't played guitar in so long, but I'm about to the point where my recent music related purchases have no justification whatsoever. Any more and I'd say that I'm being criminally irresponsible with my cash.

I have high hopes that Rondo Music will make a production 10 string guitar. I'd sell half of my collection to finance it. I'll admit too that I'd be doing it so that I wouldn't have quite as many unused instruments in the house.

That Steinberger cello certainly isn't playing itself.

I'm really tired of the obsession crap. I like playing guitar. I do. I love designing them too. I just know that no matter how much I practice or how many designs I come up with it's unreasonable to expect that I'll ever do it for a living. Besides, it would then be work, and, as I said, I would let it go.

Maybe, just maybe, I can somehow convince myself to make a habit of playing just like I did with the treadmill thing. I don't know what kind of goal I could come up with to motivate myself, but I really should try.

Anyway, my weight was still down this morning. It's really good to know that within a week or so I'll be definitively below 220, and on my way to cracking the next round number. I can't wait to break 200. It WILL happen.

Day 69: 5.25 miles in 90 minutes.
