Welcome to my world. Watch your step.

This is my blog.  This is my life.  These are my thoughts. Where have you been?

Overdue for a change of pace.

So…now that my political picture is painted perfectly clear, I can adjust the frame and leave it somewhat off-center.

Band practice went really well last night. My band is an acoustic-folk project and screams "emotional" in the worst way - but it's full of meaning and deep-rooted melodically-engineered feeling. Eventually, after we've digitalized our sound (put it online), I'll start up a MySpace and post the link up here so you can catch the breeze of some modernly uplifting, but somewhat depressing singer/songwriter compositions that I've pieced together.

Musically speaking, I've set some pretty obtainable goals. I don't really care to be famous, and hell, money's great, but I'd play for free - location permitting. I know this is cliché, but making music is so much more to me than just parties and an unlimited supply of attractive groupies. I want to touch people with my words. I want to save your life - as music has saved my life. Not in a religious way. In a spiritual way.

It's channeled me to re-think the suicide setup. It has taught me so much during the instrumental periods in my life where ending it all was the easy way out. More than anything - it's shown me that other people have been where I've been, and everything will eventually be okay.

Some people's parents wrap them in a blanket of warmth, securing this premise. Some people have their religious idols to reassure them.

I have my music.

orig - September 15th, 2007 Good luck with the project, I look forward to hearing the music

temperance - September 22nd, 2007 I too look forward to hearing this music You're so right in how it's so much more.. fulfilling to actually play and create the music, than doing it just for money and whatever. Music has done the same for me, in the life-saving part... singing is what kept me going, strange enough. ^^ -- Your view on wishing.. I do agree with it, but selfishly, it's still nice to feel that sometimes maybe actually wishing for something to happen could give you a bit of (empty) happiness that you could work on and maybe make it happen, ne? On your other subject now. xD Well I just used this as a bit of an example that I got carried away with (cause as you said, we're the only ones who know ourselves the best). He *does* tell me that, as did my ex, who I was together with for a year. But like I said... it doesn't make me believe it. A person is very easily capable of lying. How do I know to trust them about this, and how can I make myself believe in it when I've been against it for so long? And, thank you so much for the long comment! I really appreciate it. ^_^
