Interesting
And so, on this 27th day of July, I suddenly became productive. Nobody should get too excited right now, as I am not confident enough to add work stress back into my life right now. However, this is a strange feeling. I've spent the last 4 months fighting an internal battle every time I wanted to do something. Lately, I've really been trying to do "me" stuff. I haven't been hanging out with my friends as much lately, and I think that may be because I'm spending time detailing the problems that I currently have, and doing my best to accept that this is the way things may be for a while. This is in no way giving up, but coming to terms with the issues I'm having, and trying to figure out how best I can move forward with my life. Things could always be worse, and things have definately been worse for me in the past. It will still take me a little bit of time to come to terms with this stuff, however, I am making considerable progress.
Now the the productive part. I love music, so it only makes sense that one of my hobbies is the neverending pursuit of audiophile quality stereo systems in both my car and for the home. I don't do this to have some material object that is better than other people, it is solely for my love of music, and the fact that I love the building/fabrication part of installing or building stereos. Since I'm on a budget, I'm using average, or slightly above average equipment and spending the time and energy on a very good installation in my car. The installation can make or break the quality of sound in a system, which is what I'm after. I want the sound to be so crisp and clear that it allows the listener to hear things in recordings that may be missed on other systems. Basically, my goal is to be able to recreate the sound of a live symphony orcestra inside my car. If you've been to the symphony you'll know there is a huge amount of sound to take in, but the music halls often chosen for that kind of music offers a fantastic environment that allows each group of instruments to be heard. So, today I actually started the installation. I've run some of the power wires, and have one of the amplifiers in the trunk. I'm just waiting for my new Alpine head unit in order to get the rest of this installed. Tonight, I spent almost 4 hours just running wire and had most of the interior pulled out of the car in order to keep the wiring hidden. Everything is back in place now, and hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to pick up my new CD player and finish the front stage of the installation. This has been a huge accomplishment because not only did I actually get the motivation to do this, but I also didn't quit halfway through in frustration. So, I actually accomplished every goal I set out for myself when I started tonights project. YAY for me. I know this may not be that exciting for a lot of people... but until you have to fight with my brain you never understand how wonderful I feel about what I've done today. once again... YAY for me.
I'm ready for a shower.
