01/28/2009: "The n-n-new year"
This has taken some time to get to but I felt mildly inspired and mildly guilty. For anyone who is interested I am fine and have been going through many changes. Not so much puberty, (though I am anxiously anticipating the completion of that transition in my life), rather there have been some changes in the JP Hoe background. I find it a bit amusing that I "broke up" with two very amazing and important people in my life...in the same week. I feel sad, and terribly nervous about regrouping and ploughing ahead, but that is life. My dad always says "whenever something goes sour, big or small, it's a developmental opportunity", and I do agree, it just doesn't feel good.
But I'm looking ahead and have some fun plans for the trillions of JP Hoe fans, even the ones who don't know they are fans. Resolution #1, do more. I have decided that I will try to blog once a week! Though I find it tricky to sit down and write them, it's cathartic and lets you know what is going on. The podcast will get finished whether it's funny or not, more likely not. Vlogs (video logs) seem like such a fun idea, I tried it once, didn't have fun, but maybe I sleep walking and nothing is fun then. Finally, I am currently setting up a site for anyone who is on the mailing list or fan sites to download acoustic versions of songs most already know. If you want some, sign up!
Resolution #2, stay cheerful. I'm a pretty positive person, but I'll be damned if this business doesn't knock you down. Luckily I have friends and family and the good sense to not let minor things grind you to a halt. It's not worth it and it takes up too much of our lives.
Resolution #3, more good deeds. I have a couple of charities that I "work with" and even though I don't hold much clout, you cannot feel bad if you go out and do good for others. I have a plan brewing and you will know when it hatches.
Thats it, there's the first blog of 2009. Thanks for being fans and thanks for all of your support. I will be out to see you in your neck of the woods soon, in 2009 there are no excuses.
