Well..the Holidays are starting to mess with my mission. I am a little behind on my plan, but I am ready to make up for it.
Let me start by saying that I hope that every one had a wonderful Thanksgiving. If you're not from the US, it's the day we celebrate when we invited the Native Americans to dinner, fed them, then stole their land and began the genocide. I wonder if the Casinos on Reservations in this Country have a "No White Man" rule on Thanksgiving. Or is there some kind of reverse celebration honoring their ancestors who were repeatedly lied to by The US Government.....this is what I wonder about on Thanksgiving.
I don't even want to get started on Christmas. Let me just say that I was a little sickened by the people lining up at shopping centers around the country to "get in on the deals". If they were that concerned about saving money, maybe they shouldn't be BUYING ANYTHING!?!?!
OK...I'm over it....This week's song came to me as I was thinking about the course that my life has taken. I made a few decisions...some good...some bad....stood idly by while things unfolded around me....missed out on this....drank too much of that....slept through a few major events....watched too much TV....not enough History Channel....didn't call my parents enough in college...maybe shouldn't have dropped Accounting....SURE...I could read more...all of this is true, but it has lead me to where I am today. Which reminds me, I really ought to write this blog before I write the song. I missed a few things during the songwriting process.
The song is called "Blind Fate". It's about the messed up road we take to finding "true love". Also a little bit about the miracle that is the human life. Every day is a blessing. We should treat it that way. I'm going to stare at my kids....go to the gym....enjoy a nice cup of coffee....maybe a light lunch....play my guitar and kiss my wife. All before noon!
That's what I call a good day!
So here are the links to the music....store....myspace....the awesome video that I made with Glenn Sweitzer....and all that crap!
