With Half of the Year Over...
 

It's Thursday today,  and I woke up at around 11:00am this morning.   I felt really groggy,  but I got up right away to work on the new website.  I had been up all night working on this thing.   It was sort of like the building of the pyramids in it's own right,  but it just didn't take 20 years,  it took all night long and I got very little sleep.   I just needed to complete these sites for my business,  one for web design and one for music.

After checking email,  half the day was already over.   I had gotten an email from a friend and fan just last night,  someone whom I hadn't seen since leaving the band.  It was nice to here from her, and she said she had been following along in the recent entries of this journal,  post-band!
So now,  I'm committed to bringing back all the archives to this journal soon,  and get them up on this new domain location so that they are available for reading.  Hopefully,  if there are enough people out there interested in the life and times of a former band member,  about my version of the good 'ol times with a band,  then that would make it worthwhile.   Sure,  there were not-so-good times,  but over all I must agree that it was basically all good.
 

I had to take my younger son to the optometrist today.   I just found out he's near-sighted and will need glasses!   He's only seven years old,  a bit young to be wearing glasses but he's taking after me,  since I've been wearing glasses since the 1st grade.   Of course,  I now wear contacts and have been for years.
 

We have another band rehearsal coming up this weekend,  and I'm looking forward to it.   We'll have to make a demo tape and hopefully get it up on the Web soon in soundbytes,  then try to get the band its first gig.

I'm so anxious to get out there and play again,  it's really been a long time for me and I'm getting excited,  yet things just can't seem to move along fast enough.   It just seems like a slow and grueling process.   I wish it could go faster.   But I'm confident it eventually will.
 

Well,  the band has a name now,  and we may know in a few days where we'll be playing soon.

I'm still keeping my chin up! 

If anyone is reading this and you've helped me along with my depression and troubles,  then I thank you for sticking by me,  and for the support.  I really DO appreciate it.
