i'm trying to get over a serious case of noder's block that seems to be symptomatic of the general lack of creative expression in the rest of my life.

i can't find anything to write about. i pick up my guitar and i can only think to play emotionless versions of simple songs.

maybe it's the stress. i moved fairly recently, and the job is starting to get more intense. my musical co-conspirator pissed me off the other day when he told me he sent a realy bad bootleg tape of one of the band's jam sessions to a label, and even more so when he told me one of the songs was his solo version of one i wrote. we managed to work things out, but i'm still somewhat angry.

maybe it's the bed. i haven't slept right since we moved. my girlfriend and i were sharing a twin bed which is sometimes hard enough for one person to do. now we have a queen-size, and neither of us can sleep.

whatever it is, it's driving me mad.

every time i think of something to node, it's either filled in by someone who's already a much better writer, or my mind just goes blank. it's been the same way with any outlet.

it won't be this weekend i get to relax, though.

i just hope it goes away...
