Life Missions
I've had a lot of experiences and ideas in the recent past. Leading up to my last album, and afterward, I've gone through a great deal of transformation and growth. I even thought of doing a stand-up comedy special. I recorded a brief skit a while back on my computer that I have to track down, but it's more of a side thought right now. School has been very rigorous and work, dealing with new clients and trying to expand my business.
I'm currently almost half-way through my Computer Science degree. It's quite an accomplishment in itself, as this was the degree that I sought back in high school, but put on hold to pursue a trade that turned into a career. Now, all these years later, I have multiple IT certifications and half of a computer science degree all from my ambition to get there.
After the release of my latest album "Never", I got so busy with my business and education that I've completely gotten sidetracked from some art projects and even practicing in general. That always feels very odd to me. I actually, as is the custom, had some portion of writing materials completed for the possibility of a future album shortly after "Never's" release. And I have several literary works and poems to compile from that project, in the form of the many poems you heard that made the songs on Never. I then had a song I was conceptualizing after that, which I haven't produced yet. And there are a few tracks that I have somewhat composed and played with after the release. But I'm not sure when I'll get to it, as I have so many goals that I'm trying to finish off. I haven't even touched my backlog of games to play and review. That and sports news that I've wanted to touch on, I've been not getting to.
I really want to work on some more poetry, an art piece or two, some trumpet compositions, and another sci-fi novel. That is alot to bite off, and I'm not sure when I'll get the time to tackle all of that. But I do realize that it's up to me to make the time. It's there. I just have to prioritize better. I didn't get Never reviewed yet, and I did want to get around to that as well, but I stopped really caring about reviews, as I don't think there are really deep listeners left in the world. I don't recall the last time I've had a deep discussion with anyone indepth about the arts at all. It would be very refreshing for that to change. In fact, I'm going to attend some meetup events for poetry and art workshops to air out some of my work, and perhaps just have some good discussions on art. It feels like a big missing piece in day to day life.
I am starting to get some work in on the horn, and I'll be doing DJ streams again soon to work on new material. Stay tuned. It's a pivotal time. I also wanted to do another top 10 athlete list, perhaps with NBA athletes, and why I feel Lebron is clearly number one. But I'll get to that all soon.
