Day 21: Fatigued

I've been trying to record what will be my final EP, and if luck was on my side this would already be done, but naturally my strings went out and I have to make a trip to Tyler to get them. Whilst waiting on them, I was reminded that I let one of my two #1 fans name the third album, "A Final Sunset", so I naturally decided to let the other name my fourth one. The unreleased fourth album will be released at the same time as the real fourth one, but when it's over, the discography will look something like this: "Solace in Serenity" (2008), "No Time Until Death" (2009), "A Final Sunset" (2009), "Through the Eyes of the Damned" (2010) (co-release), and "The Unapplauded Finale" (2010) (co-release).

Why am I quitting? Well that's a brilliant question, I'm glad you asked, because that gives me something to talk about. Well when I began "the Lavished Heart", it was a response to a. . . belief that God wanted me to go into music. so I dived wholeheartedly into it. I would never have started recording either had the female #1 fan (who named the "Through the Eyes" album) not made the comment she could go to sleep every night listening to me play. The result was $150 bucks in my pocket, some rough CD releases, 3 concerts, and a heckuva fun ride, but now lately I'm not feeling as drawn to music as I used to be, and I'm feeling that I'm being led away from it to pursue bigger and better things. However, I will bow out with grace, having fun in the process, which is what "Finale" and "Through the Eyes" are: me having fun. I totally redid one of my staple songs, and I've added a few tweaks here and there, but I'm also doing something I pretty much swore I'd never do on a CD release: worship music.

yeah. . . anyways.

The knee is still as bad as the day I injured it. Now I'm literally losing sleep to it. I finished Season 2 of House, and now I'm kinda going. . . what next? I could go on and on, but basically, I'm just living life a day at a time, trying to keep the focus where it belongs: on Him.

Soli Deo Gloria.
