Some Ups, Downs and a Breakthrough

I had a great evening with a good friend of mine last night. We met up for a beer or two and visited the famous Brick Lane for a curry. For those of you unfamiliar with London, Brick Lane has been known as the curry district of the capital for years. There are more Indian restaurants on this one street than you can imagine. It’s not quite like it used to be, but if you are a visitor to London I recommend going there. It has a great atmosphere and there’s more to do and see than just the Indian restaurants too.

With my imminent trip back "home" (it feels like home) to Thailand I was waxing lyrical about that and my past experiences there. I hope I didn’t bore him too much! Our conversations also inspired some new ideas in the area of creativity. We are both musicians and like to share our creative ideas in that department.

This morning an important part of my world seemed to collapse in front of my eyes. My trusty Powerbook died on me! I have no idea what the problem could be. This old G3 powerbook Pismo is the hub of my portable recording studio and without it I don’t have a studio. Now this is a real headache, especially as I was just getting to a point where I believed it was going to start earning me an income. I now have some decisions to make. I can pay somebody to diagnose the fault and to repair it if it can be done, which could be costly, buy another 2nd hand powerbook, which I can’t really afford or forget about having a recording studio for a while.

If I gave up I would be destroying my soul, so I’ll forget that as an option altogether. It seems this is a little test that the universe has thrown at me. Funny that seeing as it was only 24 hours before that I started really taking on the awareness of the Law of Attraction. Well I’ve got news for the universe – I’m well on track and things came up in conversation last night that have made me certain of what I am to do. I am to get my studio back up and running. I’ll not say what was discussed exactly last night, but it was basically the birth of my career as a mix engineer. The beginnings of my music-based business.

I wrote the draft for this post on the train late last night and in case you’re wondering….. Yes, that guy in the window was there watching over me again, just like the night before! (see this post)
