This was my second daily practice of the day. I wanted to see what it was like after class where we had all just meditated and relaxed and suchlike. it definitely helped. Tonight was perfect. The best one so far. I didn't judge the quality of the music, I didn't stop to correct myself. My mind didn't wander. I was just there.

10/14/09 morning
Starting out this time was hard. I remember thinking too much about how it sounded. I wasn't satisfied with any of my melodies. This could also have had something to do with my roommates being in the room and making a lot of noise. After about a minute, I decided to start over. I don't think that was really a good idea but the second time starting was much easier. I thought about homework and school a few times in the first couple minutes and it actually took me a while to catch myself. I also noticed that the more I thought about other things, the harder it was to play. After realizing this, I focused on the ease f playing the guitar. THis really helped. It didn't take me very long to get back into the zone and be completely focused on the guitar. This seems to get easier and easier every time I do it. I played for a while like this. I only stopped because my computer went to sleep and I suddenly remembered where I was and what I was doing. I felt self conscious once again. So I stopped.

I just played before going to bed. I was exhausted. I don't know what i thought of other than my bed. i didn't think of tomorrow. and i didn't think of yesterday, or today, i thought of phrases, musical phrases, as I struggled to find a meodie. I enjoy this search, but enjoy finding good music more than i enjoy the serach. I tried recordong again just for myself and this time i tried to do "make it GOOD" once again i realized my immediate mistake, you cannot express yourself well if you're to preoccupied with being good.
