2 Weeks Later....

So its January 14th. Normally at the beginning of the new year, typically the first day, i like to journal all the hopes an expectations for the next year. Ooor..depending on the vibe of the new year...all the changes and things That I'd love to make.
I dont feel like I have ever made actual new years resolutions. Maybe I have over the years, but I've heard so many people so often say that resolutions are silly and they never do them anyway so why make them?! I bought into it many many years in a row.

But I'm not going to do that this year. I've made lots and lots of resolutions. I figure the more you make the more likely one is to stick...

I'm not going to tell you all of them...
because, cummon...you dont get to know some... but here are the fun ones.

1. Listen to Happy Music more.
I listen to a great deal of sad thoughtful music...and its reflected in my overall attitude...So this year I'm stearing toward more happy, upbeat, and even a little bubble gum...Hey Britney, you say you wanna lose control, come over here I got somethin to show ya.

2. Eat Better.
I've been overweight and getting more and more so over most of my life. I have now apparently plateaued where I am...which means if I maintain my eating and not exercising lifestyle I'll stay happily at this fat state...Well. thats nice. But I would like to be skinny a little, for a little while...once... So I added this one to the list. So far so good.

3. Learn things.
For years now I have said I am going to take some kind of class to learn some kind of cool thing that I want to know about...Well folks...this year I really am...I'm going to start small with little one day things and maybe ramp up to something longer and cooler.

4. Turn down no gigs.
I turned down a few last year because I didnt feel like it and now I wish I hadnt. There is no way to get back missed opportunities to play music. This year feels like its developing into a real musical year...and Ima play every note.


There ya go...There are a few others that you'll not get to know, but rest assured they will be done. :)

happy new year everyone...good luck making this year what you've always wanted a year to be!!

listless

I'm not sure what is going on in my head, but i'm very uninspired lately. i feel like there is so much more I should be doing, but its like i'm watching life from through a window. like i have no real impact on the story, i just sit and watch it unfold and hope the story starts getting adventurous. I'm chosing to call it uninspired because that still leaves the door open for me to have some kind of impact. Like if i could just muster up some passion for something I would be able to find some great purpose and meaning in what I'm doing. I'm thinking about all the kids going back to school and the college students heading off for a new year, and I'm finding that I'm jealous. My life doesnt cycle like that anymore. There is no rise and fall with the seasons. There is no connection to the calendar. Everyday bleeds by in the same numbing pattern. My clothes barely even change with seasons anymore. everyday finds itself looking exactly like the last: wake up l...

whats your self worth?

People have said, something is only worth what someone would pay for it. If what you're selling, no one is buying, then what you have is pretty worthless. But there are stores out there that sell all kinds of things and so the market makes room for them. People are the same. Some people are beautiful, but useless for more than their looks. Like a painting they are worth a lot because people see them as rare.But, some people can go their whole lives without decorating. Some people are useful and so are worth a lot because they fulfill some purpose. Hardworking, or smart, they are seen has having some value that makes them worth the investment. Then there are people I'd characterize as novelty people. You buy them because you've just never seen anything like them. They're especially entertaing or unique. They don't cost a lot, so you can't pass them up. Then there are bargain people. They don't cost much, arent worth much and don't last long. They fill a s...

Musical Unity: A response to Michael Gungor

When I first started listening to Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) the only people around were Amy Grant and Michael W Smith. Maybe Kathy Tricolli and Sandi Patty...Any maybe Carmen, but why mention Carmen? Shortly before I started listening to CCM there was no such thing as CCM. The 80s were just about a barren wasteland for Christian entertainment. We had a handle on good old Gospel and regular people started writing worship music. My life wouldn't be the same without Keith Green. But then came the 90s. WHAT an AMAZING time!! Right? DC talk, Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys, OC Supertones...Holy Music COW! If you were a young Christian, you could turn your radio up proudly and still feel cool. It was EPIC. From 15-21 I didn't listen to much other than CCM. Only the cool CCM of course. The stuff that the local Christian radio station only played on Friday Nights. Then I hit 21 and was, practically overnight, too cool for CCM. I bought a soapbox on top of which I declared ...
