Well first, and foremost I would like to say that on 4/28/12 I got engaged to an amazing woman, and we will be getting married in June 15th. We have a long history, and she was my very first girlfriend when I was 12, and my very first kiss. We ended up bumping into each other on Facebook about 2 years ago, talked for a year, and then after a year started dating. Kind of crazy who would have thought that 18 years later I would be marrying my first girlfriend ever. Especially after not even knowing or talking to each other for over 16 years.
I am sitting here wondering how many of you decided to take the two week challenge. If you don't know what I am talking read the blog Two Week Challenge & More to see if you are up for the challenge.
It seems a lot lately that people take so much for granted. We look at the simplest things in life, and big things in life then just take them for granted. People should be grateful for everything in the their life because it can all be gone in a heartbeat. Be thankful for not just the things around you, but the people around you also. I wake up every morning, and have a notebook I keep handy. Everyday I write the things I am thankful for, and the blessings in my life. To some that might sound strange or dumb, but it gets you really looking at all the good things you have in your life, and all the things you have to be thankful for. People will say "Oh I am thankful for my health, my house, my car, and my family.". What about all the other things? The computer sitting in front of you, the smart phone in your hand, the iPod you're listening to at that moment, and your close true friends? Aren't these thing things that we should be thankful for? There is so much more, and so many more things to be thankful for in life.gear is at my new house. While the rest is still with me at my apartment.
The new tracks are coming along still. I had a few issues with the drum program so I am having to fix those issues. It has been more time consuming then usual do to the fact I am moving, and half of my gear is spread between two houses. It has also been crazy because everyday of the week is split between wedding stuff, and moving stuff. I do have some crazy stuff that is mostly straight trance, and techno that should all be out this year. Then I have some stuff that will start coming out the start of next year that is the normal FreedomAndForgiven sound. I will be collabing with my good friend Social Sniper on some tracks, and doing remixes of my friend ifunkus tracks also. The music is coming along, and starting to sound great it's just with everything going on it is making it difficult to get programming done, guitars recorded, and use MIDI controllers. Hopefully before the move is finished or before the wedding is done I can get some guitar parts recorded, and start getting one of those tracks programmed at least some what.
For now I am out. Never give in, never give up!
