a bit of incoherence

Work has been slow the last few days. I've taken 12 hours of PTO (personal time off) this week, so I haven't had a chance to be online too much. I'm going to finish writing about the week I lost my father...sorry for taking two long blogs just to cover Saturday...Day One. I think the rest of the days will go faster, as far as my writing about them is concerned. I think a positive sign at the moment is I have continued working on a musical project I had started before my father's passing. It's a 30 song, 3-CD box set with lyric book, to be called INCOHERENCE. Basically putting a certain period of my life to rest. Funny how I was starting to let go of a certain daydream...looking towards the future and trying to be more realistic...and then my father died, thus causing me to realize I need to take on more responsibility, live in the moment with my family, as opposed to forever seeking out some idealistic dream world. Synchronicity.

Well, as you can see the lyrics are all written, although I am reserving the artistic right to change anything up until the last minute. All of the guitar tracks are done. By the end of tomorrow, I hope to have all of the bass and vocal tracks done. After that I'll add synth where I feel it is necessary, sequence the drums, and mix the whole thing. Believe it or not, I wrote all 30 songs in one week...that's just how I work. There are some very cool vibes going on, and I am really looking forward to hearing the finished CDs. But what a fucking mountain to climb! It's bad enough trying to finish off 10 songs...but 30???!!!?!?! I can tell you it takes about 4 hours on the average per song to take it from start to finished track.

So, I just need to get paid for this, and it'll all work out, right?!?! Haha, if only it could work that way...

On a sad note, last night I attended the visitation for a friend. The brother of one of the football coaches I work with passed away at age 30, very unexpected. It's been a bad year for the team, huh??? Man, you just never know. The visitation/funeral is actually at the same place my father's ceremonies were held in, so afterwards I "killed two birds" with one stone and picked up my father's ashes and death certificate. This is the second time now in a few years that I have had to drive a loved one "home" in this state. Life is very surreal sometimes.
And I got word this morning that the husband of one of our fellow Hotelwombers passed away on the 22nd....only found out he was sick last month...

Enough death, please. Let us live for a while and reinforce our love and resolve.

Hugs, everyone.
