8 months ago?!?

Life is full of changes.  Since my last blog, there have been many, many changes in my life.  So 2 days after my last blog (09/07/2013) I got hired at a company that is an "Authorized AT&T Re-seller" that has over 45 stores spread across 7 states.  I work in the corporate office here in Boise.  It is very laid back, and I have enough screen space that it sometimes feels like Tank (from the MATRIX).  It is a full time gig so it's nice to have a steady income again.  I'm still licensed to sell insurance so if you need a quote, by all means, give me a call!

17 strings, lots of fun

Musically, I have actually been very, very busy.  It is true that I am no longer a part of "the ROXTAR Project", and I'm totally OK with that because I got something better and closer to 'home'.  So the worship team at my church has been going through some transitions, so being available, I have pretty much played something different from one Sunday to the next depending on what's needed.  In this I have started playing bass and realized, I like it! (Through trading and selling I managed to acquire this nice 5 String Ibanez (pictured left)
Of course as you know, I'm a drummer.  I drum.  Drumming is what I do, and it's what I still do.  So a friend of mine asked if I wanted to sit in with her to showcase her album at a small local venue.  Any chance to play, I jump at it.  We played last month, had a blast, and will be playing again this month!
The big deal is a band that I auditioned for.


So I answered a CraigsList ad for a Christian band that was looking for a drummer.  Most of the time these ads are high school kids with a great heart, but not what I'm looking for.  Anyways, I go audition, first sign is a good thing sing the vocal/guitar guy is a worship pastor at the church we practice at, and he has a beard that can go head-to-head with Duck Dynasty any day.  The second thing was the songs I auditioned with were contemporary worship songs that I played at church that morning, or hear on the radio all the time.  It is great to play with like minded Christians that still know how to rock!

I just realized I never posted this, so I'm sorry for the delay, it's only about 8 months late...more to come soon!

So who's paying attention?

If you didn't notice I'm blogging more, well I am.  I have to ask myself why?  Maybe because I have more to say?  Maybe, I'm just more vocal this time of the year?  I have no idea...but I hope those that read this find it entertaining, informational, educational, or just plain stupid.  Either way, thank you for being part of my audience.  Just between us, I have started writing several blogs over the past few weeks, but never seem to finish them, and they are all about change.  Lately I have been going through a lot of changes and haven't figured out how to express them.

So from to get this done while I still have time.  As you know I have been pursuing a career as a Farmers agent since December of last year, and some of you are my clients.  As I'm sure you can guess...it is not an easy job to be in, especially when it is %100 commissioned based.  I love Farmers and the protection they provide and service they provide.  Because of financial reasons, I will be starting a new job on Monday, but my plan is to continue as a Farmers Agent, just not full time anymore.  I will continue to service my clients and sign new policies as they come up.  If you are my client and have questions, please call me.  As far as I'm concerned, nothing is really changing and you are still my client.

Another change is that I am no longer part of The Roxtar Project...sadly that is a more in depth story than I have time for at the moment.  However music is a big part of my life so I'm already searching for a new group to be part of, and I have a "meet & greet" tomorrow to make sure we get along before we start making music.

That's all I got time for today.  I would appreciate you following my blog, or clicking on some of these ads...I need some new shoes.
