I jammed the other night with Brian Hewitt. It was a lot of fun. We will be recording some of my songs very soon. It will mostly be just me and him playing on the album. I can't wait. This is so much fun.
I have decided to shelve the album that I spent the past year recording.
I'm doing this for good reason. The tapes lack something very crucial: good-sounding drums.
So, what now?
Well, I will soon be recording my songs again, but this time I will have a full band! Yes, that's right. I have a drummer, plus two other potential members who will be taking part. Hopefully, this will be the start of something cool.
My son has moved on. He used to go around saying that he was going to marry Tori, his sister's best friend. However, since he's started to school, he's had a change of heart. Here is an excerpt from the conversation at church last night:
STEVEN: Tori, I don't want to marry you, anymore.
TORI: Okay.
STEVEN: When I get married, I'm gonna marry something else.
When I was 5, so the story is told, I had this huge crush on some dark-haired young thing that sat in the pew in front of our family. One Sunday she came in with her long hair cropped short. That was it. I dumped her like a hot potato!
Just when you think things will never go your way, sometimes something will happen that will help things to turn around. (Huh?)
Anyway, something like that has happened. It's just meeting the right people that will help make things happen. Everything is much better now. I'm in a better mood and I'm looking forward to some great things.
Hopefully, in the near future, I will be doing more music, possibly for a living. Well, anyway, that's what this is all about. That's the American dream, right? Doing what you love for a living? I'd love to do music for a living. I think that day will come. But for now... Mechanic work!
Yes, right now I'm on autopilot (see the movie "Click"). I feel like I am, anyway. It's just go to work and come back home. The same thing over and over and over. I have the music thing that's not ready and I feel like I don't even have time to think about it. I feel like I don't have any time for myself. So, here we are just getting by. Just puttering along. I need a major break or a change. I just don't know how to make that happen.
See about leaving work a little early one day and surprise your family with a picnic...amazing the smiles you'll get...will certainly brighten your day!
Join the crowd buddy!!!!! Just look at that little one and he will be your change! Spend more time in prayer, reading the bible and spending time with your precious family. Lately I have been reflecting on that due to some family changes. Change of pace and make the most of every day! Enjoy and the rat race is something we all do and feel the same way you do, just remember you are not alone!
