Getting through Define and onto the Build phase
Busy, busy, busy, the ‘Define Phase’ of projects are the hardest for me, half the money is spent and the only thing that you’ve got to show for it is a series of documents, the blue prints of sort but nothing concrete. I like to get to that ‘sandbox’ or the model which is a little more tangiable and easier to show off, you can only do so much with Powerpoint before all interest dwindles.
Still a few more months of this unfortunately; of hoping against hope that something, the right thing, pops out at the end of the process.
Thankfully you can always find some kind of perspective in music, I have been listening to a strange selection tunes from Smog who is wonderful and has some of the most intoxicating lyrics, this snippet is from a track entitled, ‘The Well’ which I will upload when I get a chance:
Well they say black is all colours at once
So I gave it my red rage my yellow streak
The greenest parts of me
And my blues I knew just what I had to do
And on the more placid side the spectrum the good ol’ Style Council, Paul Weller was probably one of the coolest men of the 80ties and with songs like ‘My Ever Changing Moods’ can there be any doubt. It’s been my anthem this week.
