start the ball rolling

today while at work i determined a few nice things about my life right now. i'll share them with you now.

so lately a lot has been happening in my life as many of you know. one event in particular this weekend i had another house party. i have really enjoyed these, and really hope to continue to hold them. granted there are all sorts of tales from this party, as there always are, but one conversation post party brought me to thinking. a dear friend mentioned that he was really proud of me, and quite happy, with the fact that i bought a house with the intentions of using it as a gathering place for music, friends, and community in general. and i have accomplished this. not only have i succeeded in using my house to the exact purpose i desired, but i've also been hitting on all areas of my life doing exactly what i want to be doing. my band is playing the best music we've ever performed, i'm reading quite a bit, i just met the girl of my dreams, i'm working on my house transforming it into what i want, work is going well and i'm actually supposed to be getting a raise in the coming weeks, i'm listening to the music i want to and becoming more and more inspired, beginning to formulate my thoughts for writing and plan on starting this soon. so of course with my hopes for writing more i have decided to come back to this old stand-by and begin to share my thoughts on life and experiences i am currently having.

my hopes are to track this daily for 30 days and go from there. throughout this process i will take a daily picture of myself to keep record of where i have been physically, and to maybe give some sort of context to what is going on. maybe i will expand more on this in the upcoming posts, i don't know right now, but none the less this is my plan. if you catch me slacking, call me out on it. i have so many ideas to write upon, and i'm gonna post little stickies on my computer and try and tackle one a day. it's gonna be sweet. hope you're as excited as i am.
