Seems like May went by in a flash, at least to me. Days at work always drag, and lately they've been about the most boring hours of my life. But, outside of work time goes by like someone cracked open the hour glass. I've been busy and distracted, more so distracted, by my life. Paying bills and arranging plans for my wife's return are the two biggest missions I've faced. I'm hoping that everything will work out in the end to how I've played it out in my head. I daydream I think more than any human. My mind is like a deleted scenes menu on your favorite DVD. I play different situations out over and over again till I've exhausted every possible result. Maybe I just spend too much time thinking.
The music is kicking back into gear for the month of June. I finalized my latest project, "File Cabinet Flows" Part One, about a week and a half ago. It's set to be released on the 6th of June. I'm excited to hear and see the feedback for it. It's been over a year since I dropped "Soul Of The Movement" Volumes One and Two, so hopefully I will have a strong return. We (Soul Providers) have two crew shows this month, our usual Block Party on First Fridays, and an "80's" party on the 21st. I'm most looking forward to the latter, because my wife is flying back in town that day. It'll be the first time since i think February of 2006 that she'll be at a show with me. Crazy to think it's been that long, but life is funny like that. I'm still behind on my list of tracks to record, which is something I might not ever catch up on. If I could record everything I write on the spot, it wouldn't be a problem. I like the challenge though of trying to get as many tracks out to people as possible. I was hoping with this time back home that I'd be able to accomplish more, but with life and gas prices I haven't. It's all motivation in the end. Gives me something to remain hungry for. Now that my project is finished I'll start back working on my Lp. All of the writing is and has been finished for months, although i'm not yet half-way through the recording process. It's been a journey, which is good because it will make the final product that much more enjoyable for everyone.
It's crazy to think my son is 3 and a half now. I don't know if that makes me feel older or not. He's grown so much in the last year it's amazing to me. He's completely self-sufficient, and it's pretty scary actually. He acts like a grown man, so I treat him like one. I can't wait for his mother to see all the changes in him, although I'm worried she might not even recognize because of how much he's grown in the last 7 months. It will be an interesting reunion to say the least....
