So it's been a long while since I've visited this place. I went back and reread what I had written just to see what Phil blogged about while he was briefly inspired to write. I had forgotten that I had even written somewhat of an account of my existence. It's interesting to me how I foreshadowed nearly everything significant that would happen up to this point. I now play the drums, which is my passion. I no longer affiliate myself with any organized church or religion. It's also frightening to me how little I have changed since the time I wrote those four entries 3 years ago. And yet.... A lot has changed.
It was nice to read about Joel, my friend and canine companion of 4 years. He died several months ago (Feb 12, 2013), the same day and time my band (Sometime Hands Are Heavy) was about to leave for Cedar City to play our first show. What a bittersweet day and night. Snow fell and so did tears. I'll never forget that dog. He unknowingly helped me through some difficult times in my life and his sudden death marks the end of a chapter for me. It's the strangest thing how I had attempted to keep a failed relationship alive vicariously through that animal. Since he has passed away, the emotional attachment I had to her has also faded.
My band is writing an album. It's a concept album about a man who is tired of living the life he was told he was supposed to live and he sets sail into the unknown to find himself there. I have a way of foreshadowing things...
There, I wrote something new. I feel good about that. Now I'm going to start doing more creative and abstract writing.
