Blast from the Past

This was me at 16 years of age. 

Tonight I will be playing at this venue once more with the other band I play in, The Nurses. 

I haven't walked through those doors in seven years. It will be crazy. 

The Nurses also have a new Christmas song, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,  for you all to enjoy.

Meltdown

Today threw a bit of a curveball my way......my beloved MacBook decided to completely die during my lunch break and I went into complete freak out mode. The mac is my business lifeline....all of my music, all of my recordings, photographs, old school papers, my beloved photoshop......all gone. 

Tonight was spent chilling with a bunch of techies who eventually told me that my hard drive was entirely finished and never would see the light a day in Mac-World. I'm also not about to spend practically as much as one would spend on a new computer to have them try and retrieve my old information. 

That being said, I purchased a new hard drive, sat through a few painstaking hours of reloading everything on my computer, and hoping that I put useful important things on my external hard drive. 

Here's to new beginnings. And some new found goals of reestablishing my photography files with some new stuff. 

I'm saving my pennies. One of these puppies will be in my future. 

I'm determined!

I'm cold. I want nothing more to take a hot bath, drink some tea, and keep reading "The War of Art."

Today was beyond crazy at the office.

That's all I have for now.

Procrastination

"Procrastination is the most common manifestation of Resistance because it's the easiest to rationalize. We don't tell ourselves, "I'm never going write my symphony." Instead we say, "I am going to write my symphony; I'm just going to start tomorrow.

The most pernicious aspect of procrastination is that is can become a habit. We don't just put off our lives today; we put them off till our deathbed.

Never forget: This very moment, we can change our lives. There never was moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny. This second, we can turn the tables on Resistance.

This second, we can sit down and do our work. "

-Steven Pressfield, The War of Art
