Re-open for business
OK - so I am gonna ease back into this blog. I missed posting, but I had to take a break, cos sometimes the "Entertainment Business" is anything but entertaining. I intend to remain spiritually fit, emotionally strong, and above all, creative, loving, happy, content and greatful that I get to do so many exciting things in my life. I truly feel that just having had the opportunities and experiences I have already had in my life, that "my cup overfloweth!!!" - and with that ......it appears that business is back to usual here on the blog. So I should get that camera out and give you lot another video blog. Apologies for the break in service, but we all gotta take care of the craziness, right?! Thank you all for being here, and its nice to be heading towards the light again!!!
Last month was a strange month for me. I have had bits of days where I just haven't wanted to do anything, despite having every toy and every technological brain numbing device known to man. And then a few hours later, I have been driving like a lunatic to practice, or working out, or watching my hand write amazing riffs as if it was disconnected from my body (stream of consciousness stuff). Then its been back to moping around, listening to the voices in my head. Weird stuff. Not sure what's going on. Its too early to tell how I feel today (and there's not enough caffeine in my system either yet!). All I know is that I have a busy day ahead. Workout for an hour an a half, and then I am off and running. I wonder if everyone has weeks like that? I mean, good stuff surrounds me, and yet I just wanna turn the phones off, and crawl into a dark corner somewhere.
But I gotta say - being creative has huge upsides. The feeling of being able to communicate feelings and emotions through playing music and singing is a fantastic one. Enjoying a good life, and doing what I love to do should never be underestimated. But when the darkness strikes ...... boy, does it hit hard!!!
So after a week of watching movies, and just staying out of my own way, I feel better. Sometimes I just need to check out of the human race for a while. Some get loaded to do it - now I think I've found a somewhat healthier alternative!! Either way, I wanted to check back in and say hi to everyone. We'll be spending more days in the studio very soon, and that will be that. Now we have to figure out 'The Plan'. We will be looking closely at schedules, and we all agree that sometime this year,once we are out on the road, we would like to do a string of shows in the UK. We'll see what we can come up with - and work it out with the release of the record.
