Just when things start to look a bit better due to working this new audio project for a Squad modification, my Mackie CR8-XBT studio monitors have suddenly stopped working. Why? Well, I’m not sure…
Other than the standard “is it on?”, “are the cables connected?”, and “does the <insert audio device here> say it’s sending signal to them?” steps, no troubleshooting has been done yet.
I will be troubleshooting it later today, as I’m personally going back to bed and wrapping myself tight within a cocoon of blankets. No central heat in the California Compound, and while the wood stove and kerosene heaters normally do well, the area is about to be pummeled with another “arctic blast” and that means I am going to be cold unless I triple my spending on firewood and kerosene. Please note, this is not possible for many people, including yours truly.
Anyway.. wish me luck, after I pull myself back out of my bed-reprise I will probably troubleshoot these damned speakers. I really don’t want to think about my $300-ish studio speakers biting the dust…. Especially with a project in the works…
I just thought I’d post this because, if I don’t put it out there, there’s no possible way anyone will believe the timing when I try to explain to them why I occasionally have the delusion1 that there absolutely is an active force against me in some way.
I’ve edited out a large rant about mental illness. Just going to cut this article off here, as I don’t think the removed section would do anyone any good or give them happiness in any way that I would appreciate the fallout from…
I go now, back to bed, as it is cold and I do not wish to stay up and have need for heating other than my bed and blankets.

- Please note that while I use the term “delusion” here, it is to reference that the general populace (and, indeed, many of my current and prior psychiatric team members) consider some of this to be delusional/magical thinking. Personally, the way I see it is, if I’m experiencing it, it’s real. I say this because I’m really trying to find a middle ground between what “you” (the general populace) think versus what “we” (the persons “you” have determined as the “mentally ill”) think. âŠī¸
