For
the last few days I’ve been looking around to see if there’s a local band that
might need a drummer, as I’ve got this idea in my head that I’d like to play a
few gigs again. Obviously this is very sane behaviour – I am five months away
from becoming a parent for the first time, and I’m about to take on a new work
position that will involve lots more responsibility and lots more travelling,
so it’s the ideal time to be committing to evening rehearsals and lots of practice
at home and several weekends out performing….
I
know exactly what I’m doing. I’m distracting myself from the stuff that’s
cluttering my head by trying to clutter it even further with something else.
Somewhere inside, I am thinking that obsessing about drum patterns will stop me
obsessing about staff rotas and stock orders. It’s a tactic that works briefly,
but doesn’t solve anything long-term and just leads to more complications
further down the road.
And
yet still I persist….
