Giving Up Sugar?

I'm trying to give up sugar.

I continue to doubt I will be able to keep up this no sugar policy but perhaps my doubt is a kind of hope for reverse psychology to work on myself.

I want to get at the truth and not some fad diet. Not "make the theory fit the data".
"Hey everybody you've got to do the same diet as me! I'm a beliver and I will convert you to my new religion!"
Is a religious attitude the only way for humans to stick with something?
Would less sugar make me mellower? sadder? less energetic?
Is there really ever a time that "sugar would help"?
Will the weekend suck without sugar? Will that go away in time?
Is sugar one of my main sources of happiness in life? I hope not!

All fruits and veggies are better when at room temp or warmer.

New record ORION SUNRISE. I think I have decided my favourite form of music is progressive rock. GO on and hate me if you must. Its not a very popular genre.

Well in my case maybe a sort of funky computer prog rock.

Format and Wombat

How the writing format influences the packaging and product. For example, music I write with composing software is going to be a different set of silverware that something I improvise merrily on a piano with singing and then add multitracking later: as will music I write with a chord chart and a written floppy piece of paper that has lyrics on it. Not that I ever perform any of this music but how it COULD be performed really adds the package to the product. A band provides a product that people can rely on. Concrete Blonde provides Concrete Blonde Brand rock. Even Bowie is pretty consistent despite costume changes. But if someone like Billy Joel starts composing rather than writing Piano Man - the product changes. Steve Martin plays in a bluegrass band. ANyway the aforementioned three ways of songwriting I have been using lately are making me think I could make three albums by the end of 2013 - three different basic products.

Instrumentals

can the voice be just another instrument? Isnt that what Michael Stipe said? COcteau Twins? Must the lyrics matter? Must there be a rock star frontman? What about Eno's quavering vocals?

smart things

Often people who say smart things are just repeating smart things they have heard and taking the credit.

Spotify vs. Mp3

I am really enjoying all Spotify has to offer - its like having a CD store in your computer where everything costs a penny ( I have the 5$ a month plan), but there is something missing when you listen to cloud music like this - your personal MP3's of weird, independent music, home recordings, etc. You can listen to your local tracks too with spotify but it somehow seems separate from the cloud stuff. Already, mp3's are seeming nostalgic now that you can stream from the cloud your music.
