Flashback: 2006 . . . April 21 . . .
I took a look at a one way mirror, reflecting me, my soulmate was looking at me from the other side. It was probably one of the most poignant relationships I've had to this day. I saw what I was, she saw what I was. For the first time.
It was only a matter of time before I put everything in perspective. The day it came to me was this day . . . and it was too late. I understood why she treated me the way she had for the entire relationship.
I love her to this day for it. I hate myself to this day for it.
It was this day we parted ways . . .
. . . cut from veins . . .

Sunday Stroll
I've had a good time so far with "Veins". This is Day 5 of recording, after starting it a week ago. It should be Day 6, and I should be working on it now, but whatever.
That's the point. It's been pleasurable. But I don't want to make it seem like an obligation unless it IS an obligation. I have an obligation to get the current project done two weeks from now, due to a Patch Live order of business. And we'll leave it at that. I'll take my time with "Veins". I don't want it to be another "Schematics", where I became feverish and bulgy eyed at the end. "Switch" was brutal. A two week sprint. You can hear the fever during the last minute or so of the song. The screams were due to a hoarse throat, with coughing fits in between takes, hawking up snot. But I had to get it done by May 4th, had to get it done by then, had to. And then . . . the reason it was supposed to be done became redundant. Mixing went on hiatus for the summer. At least I was done with it.
Having gone through that experience, I don't want to do it again, unless it was absolutely necessary. So I'll take my time with this. Concentrate on Patch Live necessities for the time being. I'll bide my time with "Veins", like a Sunday stroll in the park.
So far, it sounds brutal and mature. I'm liking it.
*EDIT* -- So, after taking a look at the necessities of Patch Live, "Veins" has become a necessity by default. Looks like it will be feverish and sprinted. At least it's only for one song.

Back in Session
The "Cutting Veins" Sessions have started. Hopefully these will go faster than the "Schematics" sessions that lasted a whole year. Five songs there. Four here. I want to crank these babies out in three weeks or less each.
