09/15/2009: "Professionally aged 6 months"
music: WILCO (the album)
mood: I am good
It's hot. It's hot in here. The weather is so nice it is putting me in an even better mood than the day before, and I've been thinking about places that stay this way all year long. When I have to be inside doing work, and can't go and golf, I worry about the next week. The climate may have shifted to the third chapter of the year. But in San Diego you can go golfing in two weeks, two months, on New Years eve, no worries just time. I've been thinking about weather a lot. I wonder if people in the pleasant climates actually do get sick of the sun, and say to themselves, "Sure could use some -20 C right about now", or "yuck! when will this mild humidity, gentle breeze and tender warmth from the sun ever end!"? I doubt it. I'm not complaining per se, but I have been reflecting on where I am.
Earlier this year I was pretty pretty pretty bummed. It's 6 months later, I went on some tours, had a few crazy (understatement) adventures with good friends, went to camp, am heading to Brandon MB for the Western Canadian Music Awards (I'm up for 2 WCMA's but am very confident it is not meant to be this year, I'm comfortable with this fact) and it's my 21st birthday this week. Yay, finally legal in the US! Specifically responding to an old blog of mine, I wanted to tell myself, that no I am still not closer to a prize, and no I am not where I want to be, but it could be worse and I'm incredibly happy all the same.
I've been writing and I like my new songs, they're no "tonight's gonna be a good night, and tonight's gonna be a good night" gems, but I like em. Some were co-written, most weren't but I think they're my strongest products since starting this craft. They were songs that came from my pen, and my imagination. They didn't have to go through boardrooms or douchebags who scrutinize every syllable or comma. They may not impress our Minister of Heritage who only wants to help artists willing to sell their soul for success, but they're good. I love that this is what I do. Sure everyone has to moonlight once in a while, but I get to write and play music. It's not an arduous task, it's challenging but not difficult, and gives me the opportunity to "work" with friends. In fact with a bunch of friends, I started recording 2 new demos yesterday, (Sandy at the helm, and supported by jason, derek and derek). My gut says that was more fun than many other group projects found in the steady job at real workplaces. I am not rich, quite frankly, I owe a lot of money. But I love my work, friends family and fans have an affinity as well, and am given support from radio time to time. Professionally, it could be so much worse, but most of the time it can't get much better.
So thank you sunshine for finally coming around, and thank you cold winds for halting your normal arrival time. You're not unwanted, it's just much cooler to be fashionably late.
PS: I should mention I do accept blank cheques, and precious stone donations. We're open 24/7.

An interesting design concept is I always appreciated when it comes to handbags. And that is precisely what you get from the Chanel Take Away Box Bag, a mixture of culture and whimsical fun with one of the bags from the Chanel Shanghai accessories collection. It is always the luxury price of the authentic chanel.but it is the bad quality of the cheap chanel?it is NOT.Cheap chanel is also the excellent quality with fashion style. Clearly inspired by Chinese take-away boxes, this handbag is made with metallic fabric and finished off with a classic leather and metal chain strap. For Chanel bags, seems the cheap chanel,this is a very different look but fantastic. What do you think of the Chanel Take Away Box Bag?

Cheap chanel is one of the best fashional ladies handbags online for sale.Chanel¡¯s signature quilted fabric has a ¡°secret¡± quilting pattern sewn at the back to keep the material strong. This material is used for clothing and accessories alike. But it also seems there are so many chanel fans for the cheap chanel.Because it is cheap and fashional.shopping with the cheap chanel is always the fashion sign today.
