"All my life, I've been workin' them angels overtime"


No truer words could have ever been said. Living life while cheating death everywhere you look. Having somebody, seen or unseen looking out for you. A guardian angel.

Well, this is the first blog that I have written in a few years, since the ever-so popular Xanga (remember those?). At the time I was pretty young and still green around the edges when it comes to "grown-up life". Maybe I still am? Time will tell. "Roll the Bones"

The best thing about blogging? Throwing out some reflections of life at the time to whomever decides to read into it. Sometimes it may not be pretty, but its always gonna be an adventure.

I guess let me start off with a few important "adventures". Work, love and music. The best trio that could ever be combined in my opinion.

Work: Not much to be honest. I just got out of a very prominent state job, the only downfall was is that it was temporary, thanks to the newly formed state budget. However, I am keeping my head up and putting in applications and being a pest when need-be. Im hoping to find something before the middle of June, sooner the better. I've realized that in my 5+ years of working, I have done a very large amount of different jobs. I have been a cashier, customer service, photographer, salesman, teacher, a pool installer/seller and a "tax man". I guess the large variety will look pretty good on my resume. "All those precious wasted years. Who will pay?"


Love: I could  make a blog alone just on this. Ive had a few relationships in the past where things may have been rushed and they kinda fell face first into the dirt. For the longest time, I always thought it was me. But I have came to the conclusion that it's how I look for love that is the issue. After a past breakup, I spent sometime looking inside myself and trying to find exactly what I wanted. I wanted somebody who i'm compatible with, somebody who likes the same things I do, somebody who has no problem smiling and laughing with me, somebody who will love me for exactly who (or what) I am. Well, the search didn't last long. I've been talking to somebody very special the last month or so and I am 100% positive that she is the kinda girl that I've been looking for. She's very down to earth, amazing to talk to, very very beautiful, she doesn't judge me, likes a lot of the same things that I do and she knows exactly how to make me smile. There hasn't been many times that I've had good feelings about relationships before they happen, but I've got an incredibly good feeling about this one. "I believe there's a ghost of a chance that we can find someone to love and make it last..."


Music: Not much going on here either. Being a musician for most of my life, playing music has been the biggest love of my life. Whether or not its my music or somebody else's, making money or not. Its a personal passion of mine and will always be. The only issue is finding other musicians with the same dedication that I do. It seems with the way the economy is lately, music is starting to fade away a bit and scenes are starting to die. It's sad but its always been inevitable. So much emotion goes into anything and everything I play, and I like to portray that in any way possible. Music is always playing in my head, whether its from my ipod or my "internal itunes" thats always on shuffle and is never turned off. "The way the big wheel spins"


Hopefully I haven't made readers bored out of their minds with this. But its always good to get some things off my chest. I will blog again soon. So be prepared.
