It’s hard to be away from friends and family. I knew that would be the case before moving. But one thing that has been cool is meeting new people. I have already been able to meet a number of really nice people, that helps a lot. Not to sound too corny but as big of a world that we live in, which after my 37 hour drive I learned a totally different respect for the “big world” reference. It really is big, especially when you drive.. Just imagine walking.
To everyone that has been so nice to me I really appreciate your support, it’s nice to meet new people.
I know a lot of time these days you hear news break and it’s something bad. It’s too bad that’s the case, this however isn’t one of those stories. I just moved. I live close to Vancouver, BC. I moved up here to work on my music and concentrate a bit more. My new place is very small but works for what I need. All of the people I have been meeting so far are so nice. It’s just really got me thinking and I wanted to share. As much as we tend to hear about how bad everything is around us it’s nice to see something good and something as simple as kind hearted people. I think that is a great part of life, meeting new people and them being nice to you for no reason other than . It’s harder to be mean to others around you it takes time to think.. I just felt I would share that
There are some things that we will learn in life only by doing. Like how hot hot actually is. When our parents told us not to touch this or that because it’s hot for me I really didn’t understand until I grabbed a hot iron, that was a painful lesson. It’s just kind of weird how trust happens, we grow up with a trust and and constantly learning new things. We would never understand what wet is without touching something wet. Now looking back at some of these really simple things, they become more challenging especially when trying to explain into words true feelings.

honesty and stupidity together in the same sentence how you might ask.. I am always trying to be as honest as possible I have been thinking what if I’m being dumb at times? Here is an example.. If an attorney on a major legal case was to find out some very breakable information, meaning this information would make a huge swing on the decision of the case. Well if this attorney said to his opposing team, “hey guys I just found out this news and wanted to share it with you,” if he were to do that too early he would be giving the opposing team time to work on a possible defense. This would be honesty and stupidity. Sometimes I feel this way. But I’m not an attorney. I hope you don’t feel stupid from me being honest.

I heard some new music yesterday that really got me thinking about artistic integrity. What is your take on the subject? I understand trends and things that are hot at the moment but it’s just crazy when I hear how far people will take their art just to make it what they think you want. I do understand some of the business choices that artists will make, especially with the economy the way it is now days, but it’s so bad that a lot of things tend to sound so similar. I listen to all sorts of music which I’m sure would color my head in the creation process, therefore assisting in going along somewhat with trends. It’s just when the songs are so similar it’s like a carbon copy of the hit of the week. It just got me thinking about school and looking over the neighbors shoulder but the sad thing is it’s suppose to be your own art. You completely lose your creativity and artistic choice. I’m sure this isn’t ground breaking just some thoughts I have been having.
