Age of Gold
I'm the Assistant Director for a community non-profit that promotes nonprofit arts education and performance. So we went to Atlanta for a competition and won a Gold Medal, then they interviewed me about our program. I'm honored to have the chance to discuss the hard work these young people are doing and how we're using our program to help those who ( Read more... ) -

I haven't journaled in a long time because I sometimes feel my life isn't as interesting as it was ten years ago. Traveling the world. Playing music in big stadiums. Deploying to Iraq. Traveling to Africa and just meeting so many different people and having new experiences ( Read more... ) -

He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven
What is life like for someone who has done so much so fast? I ask myself this question and ponder over it's answer often. I am only 28 but I have done a lot of things some people wait their entire lives to do. This creates a problem because it often times leads to being disinterested in things others have a desire to do ( Read more... ) -

In keeping with my odd-numbered attendance of Convergence I am making plans to attend C15 on the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Is anyone planning on attending this event in July or just skipping this one? So far I have been to C7, C11, C13 (I would have attended C9 but we were on call for the invasion of Iraq in 03'). The locations looks exciting and I ( Read more... ) -
Stormy Monday
I got in a discussion on Monday with a lady who sings blues. She complimented me on my playing and was really excited about my playing. I told her that I am "temporarily retired" and don't play much anymore. She got annoyed at me and wanted to know why I didn't want to play much anymore.
I explained to her than my main focus is school right ( Read more... ) -
BEATRIX
Well I had some time today and was feeling very creative so I went back to a project I have been working on for a while. I started getting into space art lately in between my Art Deco work (more on that later). So I have been working on a planet for like two weeks now and I just started the process of merging it into the stars and painting a nebula ( Read more... )
