Ending the Search

For the past decade, I have been looking for a girl on and off. Not
just any girl, the girl. You know, the one, the first kiss, the first
love? Yeah, that one.

Anyway, I've never had much luck finding her. However, over the years
she has occasionally found me. A letter from another country, a phone
call out of nowhere. When I was younger I guess I took a wrong turn
and got more self-involved than I had ever realized. I was too busy
partying and having a good time to write a letter to this girl. Who
wrote me several times. Then in my later years, 3 or 4 years ago, she
tracked me down once again. A phone call seemingly out of nowhere. We
talked, talked for a few hours. She told how she was joining the army,
had been living some of her dreams and life was for the most part,
good. The problem?

I was with someone.. What's the big deal, you ask? Well, I knew all I
wanted from the girl was to be with her. At the time, I couldn't let
myself see her and interact with her because I didn't want to do that
to my current (now former) girlfriend. So, didn't call her back.

From time to time over the years, I have tried to find out how she
is, where she is, etc... Nothing on the internet about her.

Until yesterday.

Yes, I finally found a small piece of information about her. She is
now married, and just had a baby recently. It's kind of a sad moment,
also a happy one. I'm happy that she found someone to be with.

Something I have often thought about: has my "unfinished business"
affected any of my relationships to date? I don't think so. I've
always given my heart to easily anyway. Besides, I met someone a year
ago who I thought for sure filled that void I've felt all these years.

This is not something I talk about often, or ever for that matter. I
thought since I finally have some level of closure, maybe I would tell
it.

Here's to you Cherami.

it's in Texas even.)

Too Much, Too Little

Too much time, not enough time.

That is the conflict lately. Without going into too many details, it
seems like what I want, there is not enough time. What everybody else
wants, there is plenty of time.

I am too nice.

Wait, stop...

I am not going to write another bitchy blog post about bullshit in my
life. Instead, I'll talk about...

Music!

So, my latest/possibly last solo album is complete. One song to tweak
the volume on and it's done. The distribution end of things, well..
That's going to take a bit longer. Currently don't have the resources
to get that part accomplished. I will however be sending it out to a
few people, one in particular this evening or tomorrow.

I will also be posting a few more tracks on this blog as well as
setting up a MySpace page for the project (again).

So, people who actually take the time to read my diatribes and other
assorted musings. When the time comes, tell you friends, send emails,
do something! I want to push it this time out.

Also, I have set up my Twitter feed to automatically post new songs
uploaded. So, if you use Twitter, feel free to follow me and grab em
up quick! (Twitter link to the right of this post.)

I Can Play Again!

So, on Thanksgiving day I broke my left pinky while tossing a football with my brother. Tossing the football itself was strange, considering that not once in 28 years have my brother and ever tossed a football. Anyway, it caught my pinky just right and fractured it in a couple places.

I have been playin guitar again now. I can't apply much pressure with it yet, but I can actually play a few things.

In other news, I tried to play a Jack Mystery song (Race Car) last night and I could not remember how the hell to play it.

Decisions

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

I have had quite the wild ride this past month or so. So many
different possible outcomes, so many different ways to hurt and get
hurt. I find myself stuck in the most twisted of situations. Living
half of my life where I am now and the other half paused (as chris
would say). Why oh why can not my two lives converge?

Anyway. It's been an odd time of late. Nothing new really to report,
Hoping all is well back in the motherland.

Can I fly south for the winter?

Brothers in Arms iPhone Game

Wow! When the iPhone came out, I had no idea the hardware would
support this level of detail!

I don't care for this type of game, but damn! That's pretty kick ass!
