No Handlebars: June 2010

sorry that it's been so long since i've posted. i think i'm moving on from the blogging thing, at least for now. i have two more weeks left here in nyc. i've accomplished most of what i wanted to do here...i had a great internship - learned a lot and made some good connections. i finished my cd, 918 Heart Inn/Anthem, and it will be available on CDBaby.com and iTunes on June 22! I spent the whole semester recording and re-recording my first batch of original songs ever. I'm pretty happy with the result, and I hope that if you're reading this you will buy it! This is the track listing:

1. I Can Be There (feat. theGreatScott)
2. Two-Faced
3. This Is Not A Song For You
4. I Miss You
5. Do You Ever Wonder (feat. theGreatScott)
6. Escape
7. 918 Heart Inn/Anthem
8. Cocoon

I'm taking the moment to be thankful for how fortunate I am - I need to make myself do it every now and then because I bog myself down in my own thoughts and worries so much. I really, REALLY have very little to worry about, and unfortunately I don't realize this until I DO have something to worry about. Part of it is also my longing to be more successful...my ambitions consume me too much sometimes. But, I am enjoying my life and am grateful that I am doing a good job with all the things I've "signed myself up for."

Next month, I'll be at Young Life's Lake Champion in upstate NY, volunteering on Summer Staff. I'm excited for it because I know that it will force me to grow, and hopefully make me more aware of the world that I'm living in. I need something to spike up my senses a bit.

This fall, I'll be directing my 3rd musical revue for Northeastern...we are doing our version of Rock 'n Roll Revival, the show I did in high school. I'm already doing my best to make it the best production I've ever had a hand in...we'll see how it turns out in December.

see ya!
