Music Journal #XXX

I was hoping to continue the 'Music Journal' aspect of this project up until the end of the year 2013.

Unfortunately, I don't see a reason to keep it going anymore and I feel there is no point tying myself down with dead weight.
It's been a pleasure making more of an effort with music I have come into contact with.
However, I'm busy with other activities and will have to let this go; It has served it's purpose, I think.

End.

I guess that's the point, right?

The dream?

Maybe.

Ugh.

Peace.
