Reason or excuses?

I have some left-brain activities I need to take care of. Checks to write, bills to pay, that sort of thing. I was going to do some of that tonight. I just couldn't make myself do it though.

My right-brain started clamoring for my attention. It wanted, it pleaded, it begged me to pay it some attention. So I fired up a piece of software I have, called Reason. Reason is a music-creation program with a really cool user interface. It resembles a hardware rack, like you might find in a studio, and provides various sound and effect generating components, just like their hardware counterparts.



I played around with it a bit tonight. I set up a funky groove based on a song I wrote, Painted Smiles, and got a pretty nice result. Fun, fun fun! Though I think J got bored because I kept playing the same loop over and over and over again and again.

I would like to do a full version based on the parameters that I set up tonight. Sigh. I think my life is terribly out of balance. Too much left-brain stuff to do, not enough time for the right-brain stuff.
