-
- I was looking at
my footage from recording the Trayvon son last entry
and I just had to share it. Not sure if anyone
noticed but there's a BUNCH of edits in that song
(even a dreaded jump-cut) because I never completed
ONE take without interruption. I've learned to operate
in almost constant chaos when it comes to The Journey
or my artistic endeavors, but trying to pull off
writing and recording something with as much emotion
as that last song in the time it takes for Vienna to
have a doctor's visit is a challenge to say the least.
Thankfully, I know a good editor. :-)
-
-
- That video is
almost a story-arc for my life. I start off doing
one thing I think is important, and by the end, I'm
just having fun with my kid. I still uploaded the
song, shared it on a political forum, asked people to
pass it on... so I do actually believe it's
important - but in the end I'm just gonna rock out
with Vienna.
-
- It does however
mean my chances of "making noise" are slim to none.
It's not the time anyway, but I do realize that
I'm going to have to sacrifice a bit of the fun to get
where I need to be. Not just for me, but to
actually produce money once the Imax windfall dries
up. Oh and I'm finally going to be able to write about
that story this year. Have a feeling I will be
"out of stock" come January 1st, 2014. Can't believe
how long that stroke of the keyboard has lasted me.
Giddy-up.
-
- But yeah,
continuing The Journey, writing songs, making videos
and taking care of the homefront is wildly
challenging. I haven't actively tried to share my
videos in years (barring the Newt Gingrich one, etc.)
and I know viewership is as low as it has ever been.
Thankfully it doesn't matter because I'll always be
the first and longest running and that gets me press
and keeps me going. In fact...
