They say stereotypes exist for a reason, and as a British person my teeth fucking suck. I've got to get a load of fillings, go teetotal on all unnecessary sugar, and use a toothpaste with 5x the amount of fluoride in. That's what I get for being a stoner who didn't look after his teeth when I was an undergrad. I thought I'd been doing alright with my dental hygiene since then but obviously not. Oh well, at least we have the NHS so it wont be too much money.

I've been having mixed feelings about my music lately. I've tracked about 450 hours work on it since October last after I made a resolution to be more discipline. I've undoubtedly made a lot of progress but it's hard sometimes doing this shit in isolation. I know I can't expect the people around me to ever be as passionate about what I'm creating as I am myself. That's just not realistic. But now I'm finally starting to achieve compositions that touch on my 'inner ideal' of how I want my music to be and people barely seem to show anything above a vague appreciation. Meanwhile, this generic, badly produced piece of Drum & Bass I made in a week 7 years ago has 250,000 views. Oh well, I'll keep ploughing on I. Maybe I just haven't found my audience yet. The more likely conclusion is that I'm just not good enough yet.
