Listening, or at least an attempt at it.

So I'm going to be out of town for a week, which means no creating in the sense of recording. Hopefully while I'm out I can still jam and get some ideas. Whether those ideas come to fruitition or not, we'll see.

Lately I've been listening to lots of music, sermons, and people. Or at least, I've been trying to. The thing that seems to keep coming back to me is the fact that if I try hard enough, there's always a way to get to where you want to go. I do not know where I want to go in life, but I know two things: I want to create music, and I want to love and help people. Right now, I'm not great at either, but I would say I'm more consistent at making music than loving and helping people. I'm great at loving and helping people I know, but not so much people I don't know. Anyways, food for thought.

Be grateful for what you have. If you're reading this, it can probably be safely said that you are in a house (or have a home to live in), you have a computer, and probably even a car. Those are material possessions that somewhere around 5% of the world owns (maybe more own a car, and more live in "homes", some of which are nothing more than little lean-to's). You probably also have family who loves you, and a decent education, and might be pursuing more education. Please remember what you have, and what others don't, and try not to take things for granted. I know, much easier said than done. But we at least gotta try.

I'll be back in about a week. Love you guys, whoever is even reading this blog....
