My EP day 1

Today I spent most of the day writing and planning for my new EP. It is a big project but I am up for it well in fact I was made for it. This is not the only thing that I was made for but for sure this is part of it. I am naturally a guy that works better outside of a plan but it is always good to have one, and for this album we are writing and revising and revising and revising. Things got to feel good! I have been asking myself and others over the last couple of months "how does it feel" and if it feels bad it probably  is not what you want. Life is like a song, some parts flow and some don't but you got to be truthful and you got to believe in what you are saying and doing. I heard today that part is not believable and after looking at some it, some of it is not believable. The truth is good and makes you better. I want to live my life like I write my songs: go for it, believe in it, and for sure have no regrets!

Create

With my ears full of some Sigur Ros, I am reminded of a word that is coming up over and over again in my life. Create! Listen to the melodies like a nurse listens to the heartbeat of the patient and I am making reports that are given to the ultimate doctor. I know my days are full and my life is fast but the speed helps me to see things different and better yet to act on the feeling of my gut. The word creative is swirling through my soul like grandmas soups with just the right parts of chicken and broth ready for the noodles. This kind of creative makes the sick well, and what are the sick sick with? They are sick with the notion that they are not creative. I find that if you want to teach others to fly the best way is to show them through flight, like an eagle-falcon shows his clan the sky to the place were they should migrate. If I want to lead, which I am, I have to be someone worth following. And the people I know don't want to follow the same old leader. This is an army that is ready to fight and is armed to the max with paint brushes, guitars, and cameras, waiting for the general to sketch a picture that is new. I am the artist and I will create with passion as if passion was a color that has been lost or put to rest in a unmarked grave. Well just so you know I have found the grave and the raising from the dead ceremony has begun. I am finding that love and passion can not be separated like a mother to her child or better yet a groom to his bride after they have been married. So if you want to be technical I am a lover with vision, a king heading to war after his lost love to a rival nation that stole her because of her beauty. Armed we are ready standing tall underneath the sun as it beats down like a drummer to his drum. We march on my command painting and singing the praises of the great Artist, trying to match His beautiful canvass, knowing that it possible as long as He guides the brush strokes like slay driver yelling mush to his pack of loyal k9"s. There is a battle for the screen and so you rest at night I have already won and nations will know the name of the son sent by the Son to change the course of history with his heart, body, soul, and mind. Never see things as they are only, because there is so much more and better ways to write the script that will never end. Go and create!

Here

Yes I am have arrived and it feels good here. You know I am here, I have accomplished it, I have done it. The race aint over but I have won. I have found out with all my travel and just the things that have been happening, that happiness is a person and no matter how cool this thing gets from the outside if the person on the inside don't know Mr. Happy then it is miserable. Because coffee may taste a bit different all over the world but for the most it is still coffee. The sun still shines no matter where you are and pain still hurts like laughter echoes. There is a guy here with a beard and for the most part people all over the world grow them. Because I travel that does not mean that I am doing what makes me happy or living a dream.  So happy is happy. Traveling don't make me something, at my core is who I am and that makes me happy and I just happen to travel. With all that said, I have a story to tell that has been running through my heart like a track star running the 100meter dash. I was just in Redding Ca, and I went to a Starbucks to meet some people for the new album that I have coming out later this summer. I saw a friend that was there and I began to talk to her about whats new, mostly small talk. And then the subject about her boyfriend came up. She began to explain their story and it was pretty normal of a meeting and story. They both meet in the music scene and had others that they are dating so they really didn't talk but stayed in touch. She had a crush and he did to but they went their own way for a while. After a couple of years they reconnected. He came into town and came to see her and he said something that rocked me. He said "Hey I am done doing this life without you" wow even now just writing its like a bell in my mind waking me up to the moments in my life that I have said that. I remember when I said that to happiness. I am done living this life without you, from here and now others can join but it will always be you and me.
