Chapter 1: Aware

Are you awake?  Are you aware?  Are you ready?  Moments come and go.  Do you have what it takes in you to go?  I think you do.  I think we just get comfortable and forget that life is living.  Sometimes we just need to take that first step of courage so we can be encouraged.  Catch up with where life is going!

I was caught up in the air when we were asked to perform on a southwest flight.  Why not?  Why not share the song that is on your heart?  Why not talk to the person next to you and get to know them?  

As an artist I want to always be aware.  I want to document it in creativity.  That's why I took my camera on the flight.  So I can get pictures like this above Salt Lake City and then publish it.

   Last night I saw the sky turning pink and so I hopped in my car and headed to an open field.  The grass was high and the sky was getting dark.  I got my photo but I lost my keys, in the middle of that dark big grassy field.

So the next day I asked my neighbors if they'd help me go look for them.  

Like a good neighbor, they found my keys.  

One last plug.  Check out my bands new CD cover.  

Follow this stuff when it happens and converse with me bout it on my facebook.  Sometimes I ask a question.  And that wasn't a pickup line.  Why, did it work?  I also post a picture of the day if I take one. Sometimes it's just me wearing a wig though.

Oh yea and guess what?  My Dad doesn't have a cat anymore.  Guess what he has?  Here's a hint: it likes to lick his nostrils. 

Introduction: Who let the cat out?

To write a blog once was a meaningful expression with instant feedback but when myspace died so did my wrightings.  I tried to start blogging on my own site but wordpress always felt tedious to me and I always forgot my password.  I'm hoping this could be a cool bridge between facebook and a blog.  I know some of you might not be able to comment if you're not a blogger.  So if you're on fb please leave comments there.

I have a really awesome ability at starting things.  So, this is gonna be a sweet start.  It'll probably kind of feel like it's not going anywhere at some point and then all of a sudden I'll post something.  I often have words predicting what's going to happen so expect this one to happen.

My dad grew up on a farm in Iowa.  That's so different than me.  Yet we are a lot alike.  He is really funny and creative.   One time he farted so loud the cat took off sprinting from the very back room of the house leaping out the cat door.  I think I was about eleven so I thought that was hilarious.  Oh wait, I still do.  He's had finer moments I guess but that one always comes up as most creative for some reason.  How else would you get the cat outside without getting up?

I love mexican food.  I sometimes wonder if I'm mexican.  I eat so much mexican food the percentage of my body weight reading would be in spanish.  So yes, I guess I am mexican at times.  I'm never chinese for too long.

Anyways this blog has gotten really dirty and I'm sorry.  But you kept reading it this far so you must like it.  Or maybe you're just being nice?  In which case I won't burden you much longer but I will leave you with this photo I took down the street and thought:

In the distance and in this instance is your future.

Vision give us direction.

Actually seeing something come to life gives us hope.

If you're still thinking dirty things it is not my fault.  You are the guilty one.  But for real, I'm excited because I feel like I have direction and a vision.  Things are coming to life like my bands CD.  I'm painting a sunrise with the words I wright.  Each moment and person shapes us.  Surround yourself with love and grow!
