Musings...

So, here I am again, starting a new blog for a new chapter in my life. If I look back two years ago, I would not have imagined that I would be where I am today. It may not seem like much to most, but to me, these small changes have been life altering. Most were and are for the best and some have reared less than favorable outcomes...C'est la vie!

Grand Junction, Colorado - A backdrop neatly tucked in the folds of the magestic Rocky Mountains with views at every corner. A quaint place that appeals to some and brings grief to others.

I am the latter.

I came here to get away from…life. Atlanta proved to be a great place for singing – abundant opportunities. Yet it proved to be a sphere of drama. And anyone who knows me can tell you that I don’t take drama very well. People I thought were friends proved to be nothing more than a cancer that adhered itself to me and drained all the energy I had, and plagued my mind endlessly. I had to get away and find a place where I could just breathe…Grand Junction, Colorado.

I won't even begin to go into how I ended up here, but let's just say that when the opportunity came knocking, I answered swiftly. So here I am, a year later, and more determined than ever to really get my career going and find love someplace. If I have learned anything, is that drama follows you wherever you go. It is no longer a matter of trying to escape it, to escape life. It is about learning to deal with the blows, ducking and dodging your way out of it all - finding that glimmer of silver that leads to a thin lining of peace and calm. Life is the journey you take, not the destination. It's how you measure up to the standards you have for yourself and how you brave life's grotesqueries. In the midst of that, though, there is happyness to be gained, if you know where to find it. I have been fortunate enough to find it through a strong sense of self, mild confidence, endless patience, and faith that if I can continually work towards the things I desire, my success will be continual. And, despite the mini-quests on this proverbial journey, life has been damn good to me!

Je suis à jamais reconnaissant pour la vie que j'ai habité. Les pauvres, Effrayés, Fâchés, Tristes, la Blessure, Trahie, Violée, Reniée - je sais gré pour lui tout parce qu'il m'a fait l'homme je suis aujourd'hui. ..fashioned par Dieu pour être véritablement stupéfiant.

What's next...
It is time to get my lazy ass in gear. 2008 will prove to be a productive year. A year where I can work towards fulfilling my desires and becoming ever more happier a man than I am now. For this, I am truly excited!
