    Rubbish again.

    Worked 9-6 all this week and straight to a gig tonight which I hated because I was so tired. Really didn't enjoy it. Up again at 9.00am to work 10.00am-4.00pm. Home and shower before gigging again and on Sunday evening too.

    Stick in there Charlie - we all have periods like that.

    It's great when we feel on top form and have as much fun as the audience, but to still give a great service when you're not feeling like it is what sorts out the professionals from the fly by night amateurs! You'll soon get your mojo back.

    Jesus Charlie, you should be pleased that you re earning.

    I can't believe someone of your ages is having an issue with this.

    I do those sort of hours and more every week without fail.

    True. But if I'm not enjoying it then what's the point.

    So why are you not having fun, because you are tired?

    I think so. When I'm tired - I'm in a rubbish mood. I'm just not enjoying the gigs.

    Surely gigs aren't about our enjoyment, but more about providing a decent service and getting your hands on the lucre. As long as you're doing that, enjoying it is a distant 3rd, 4th, 5th?? It is work, after all.

    I can understand that. It's not the easiest thing to do, to get motivated when your're tired. If you've got time, thought about the gym to get your fitness/energy levels up?

    One thing I must say about you is that you seem to be an honest lad. Wear your heart on your sleeve (nothing wrong with that).
