It’s been a cold dry May here in Adelaide and most people are hoping for some serious rain to bring some relief from the drought conditions. That said there hasn’t been any major change in things here at Lipcrack, the SD card for the camera hasn’t arrived yet which is surprising but should be here soon enough, then it’s on to some cataloguing. In the meantime some good news though, the song Fade Away will be released some time next month and a new promotional run will go out through the mail to let people know. Of course if you are online and know about it feel welcome to let any friends know and send them to the site for a listen.<\/p>\n
Other than that my health is back to reasonably normal and I’m coping fairly well with Hypothyroidism which briefly can manifest in a variety of ways, often including fatigue, weight gain, and increased sensitivity to cold. Other common symptoms include constipation, dry skin, and a slowed heart rate. Some individuals also experience brain fog, difficulty concentrating, depression, and muscle aches. Personally a while back I felt like I was dealing with a couple of the worst side effects which include depression, brain fog and muscle aches. I’m on prescribed medication but introduced a couple of personal choices which have been successful in terms of body pains. That’s gone on for nearly three months now and I should be able to come off those fairly soon now which is the plan. <\/p>\n
Fact is I’ve been a bit of a med head for awhile now and started taking some supplements awhile back (and studying them) when I could tell I wasn’t quite feeling altogether there. I don’t regret it because I’ve seen those things as an aid which many people reject. But it’s been quite easy to see how it could become a problem because there’s so many “helpful” supplements out there. That said I’ve finalized what I’m willing to try which includes a Papaya leaves extract which gives people an insight as to what I am prepared to try. I also recently completed a short course for motivation and goal setting which obviously if you’re in a fatigue battle can be a difficult task to achieve. Simply put my life is so messed up, I had no idea why but now have a better insight as to how to deal with problems when I’m feeling affected which personally obviously I wish were none of the time. <\/p>\n
If I sound like I’m in a constant battle with my health that wouldn’t be quite true because 90% of the time I’m feeling quite normal and just going about routine tasks minus the Lipcrack music production and I think the reason for that is because I’ve done all I can with it. I know I’ve got a couple of good tracks sitting there which could benefit from being developed but there’s other pressing tasks which are getting a priority over those now and it’s not as though I haven’t achieved what I set out to when first undertaking this process which was developing a band for a listening audience. The fact that Lipcrack doesn’t have radio airplay or a label supporting us comes down to how the industry itself operates and we cannot change that. <\/p>\n
Basically Lipcrack can continue to grow and does daily by maintaining a website presence it’s all the additional promotions that are required to keep it growing and developing which is where I’m putting the brakes on to some extent, when it feels legitimate we run with it, when it doesn’t we don’t. Simply put Lipcrack is still a website where people can drop in and listen to the tracks when they feel like it. <\/p>\n
And that is more than I expected to be saying this month but covers Lipcrack’s position on it’s future, its health and it’s current growth plan along with what’s happening next month when we see you all again. <\/p>\n
Bye for now<\/p>\n
