Chillin' in Asheville...

So here I am in the garage studio on my Mac watching Steve lay some tracks. Pretty cool. I am having a great time down here and learning as much as I can. I love writing, recording and creating music. Nothing beats that in my mind. A song well done is so amazing and satisfying. I know this is just the beginning for me. I love hanging out with people that are already doing this. It is so inspirational. Especially with these characters! :) The music they are creating is awesome! I am definitely inspired and at the same time pleasantly suprised that I was heading down the same path sonically and stylistically. That is weird and very cool at the same time! I am hopefully going to send some stuff their way to co-write with me and my team. No egos here just the desire to make some amazing music. I love it!!

Let This Decade Begin!!

So we have started the 2010-2020 decade. Man is it going to be huge! The rate technology is rapidly advancing and things are changing, I cannot imagine what 2020 will look like! There are already 3D televisions, you can do almost anything on phones now (I so want an iPhone!!), you can find pretty much anything on the internet...as long as technology doesn't turn us into robots and we forget what it means to be in relationships. I have vision for this decade and my and my family's lives. Here is what I am believing for and want to see happen this decade:

1. record/produce 3-5 major albums

2. spend some time in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark)

3. take the worship band on some cool trips

4. write some worship songs that impact churches

5. see people's lives radically transformed

6. live in another country for a bit

7. help people position themselves for a better life

8. have my own studio that kicks butt

9. see my kids develop into the amazing people they are

10. get an iPhone :)

The Future is Unclear...

So this should be an interesting year to say the least. It seems like so much it up in the air. I can honestly say I have no idea what the future holds for me and my family. Things could stay relatively the same or could drastically change. I have no idea. Not worried about it at all either. Our life is in good hands. There are a few things I do know for this year however. I am going to shape up even more (physically, mentally, spiritually, etc...), I am going to Asheville to learn as much about recording/producing, etc...in one week as I can (which I believe will just be the start of more of that), I am going to record/write/produce as much as I can this year, and am looking at getting another job which has presented itself to me this week or so which would really help with saving up some money and getting us better positioned. I still think this will be an amazing year of transition but I just have no idea what that will look like. I just know it will be good. There are big things on the horizon and I just have to walk them out. I have vision for my life and I am learning how to let it happen. I am stoked! My goal for the next few years is to have an awesome fun life that is an adventure and a journey...I WILL NOT settle for mediocre and just o.k. I want excellent and adventurous! So this is really "New Year's Resolution" stuff...it is life goals and direction stuff...LET'S SEE IT HAPPEN!!
