Sunrises...It's a new day

Lately I've been taking pictures of the sunrise, either before I leave for work, or on my way.  Whenever I see the sunrise, I'm reminded of a song by one of my favorite bands, Guardian, which I'm sure most of you have never heard of...

When I'm sad

I feel you smile and whisper to me
Every little thing will be alright
Like the sun
Comes shinin' through my window
Breaks the darkness in the early morning light

(Complete lyrics can be found here)

When a new day comes, you never know what to expect, seriously anything can happen from the time you wake up to when you head hits the pillow.  This week, a lot has happened that I hope I can tell you about without breaking off into too many tangents.  (I should rename my blog the rabbit trail, since I follow it so often)

So as you already know, I'm trying to break into the music industry? business? scene? none of these really apply, at least I don't think they do, but then again, maybe they all do.  I'm seeking an outlet to express myself musically, make some new friends, and play LOUD...more on that later...this week started like any other, with the exception that my 2 o'clock I discovered that we may have 2 more foster kids coming into our home.  Since our last child left us two weeks ago, after a 14 month stay, I thought it was pretty quick, but who am I to say no to someone in need.  I am prone to put others before myself.  Most of the time that's can be a good thing, but there comes a time when I need to do for myself.  That's part of what this whole music project is about, but see, I'm getting off topic again.  So we now have 3 very energetic boys in the house, I truly believe that Isaac feeds off the energy...he's my boy!

At work, my computer has been updated from a dinosaur relic to a new "slightly used" machine running Windows 7.  I'm the first one in the office to get the new platform...I know it's nothing spectacular, but it's a change, and change is good....right?  Lots of little things that are different, mostly good, but there are some features I miss.  (the problem with blogging on the run, is I usually don't get a chance to complete all my thoughts at once, thus I'm scattered)

So Friday has rolled around finally...last night I got to hang out with one of the guys from the band.  Let's call him J.D. (that's what everyone else calls him).  He's a really cool guy that runs his own music studio called CatWerk.  Hey plays it all, guitar, bass, keys, drums, vocals, and he's really good.  We talked a lot about music, gave some back-story about how we got to where we are today, hung out in the studio for a couple hours after having some "Los Betos".  He has literally hundreds of songs that he's written, recorded, and produced, that are actually on TV.  If you watch Man vs Food, you've heard his stuff, as well as some other TV shows.  Being in a band with several guys that play multiple instruments would give me and them the opportunity to switch things around on a couple songs.  Give me a chance to come out from behind the skins and maybe rock a little guitar.  (wish I still had my Fender)

So as the sun sets, we look back on our day and realize everything that has transpired in the last hours of day light.  Our foster boys have gone home to their parents.....I'm still waiting for a call to hear if I made the band or not....taking my wife out on a date tomorrow....quality time with Isaac..worship rehearsal in the AM...another basket of veggies and fruits...and maybe some sleep.

Good Night, and God Bless!
