Coming in the Month of June

Sitting on a shelf not too far from the computer that I type this post on are some marble composition notebooks. In these notebooks are journal entry's from the past ten plus years. I never thought that I would be continuing in such an endeavor after the first year of writing but it's something that is hard to walk away from. The journal entry's are filled with many of the ups and downs, highs and lows, triumphs and failures of the past years. All written in pro's and often times unknowingly reaching for the poetic.

I have a small book that I am writing the stories behind some of the songs and poems that I have written over the past few years. I use the marble composition notebooks as guide posts to find out exact dates and details of my life that may or may not relate to what the song or poem is about. It's while I was going through some songs written in 2000 and 2001 that an idea struck my brain. Write a song/poem everyday, for a month. Those songs/poems would comprise of a larger piece ( or concept) for an album. The more I think about the idea, the more excited I get. I have no idea what I want to write about or even if I will be capable of keeping up with such an undertaking. As I thought about the idea more and more June was still a few months off. I've decided that I will write for the month of June, but not just write for myself, but to share with everyone in blog world those writings. I've never blogged for some thirty consecutive days but if there was a reason that would make me do it, I guess it would be for creative reasons.

Why June?

June has always been a tricky month for me. It's a month that comprises of endings. There is that school component but there is also a business component. There is also a general shift in peoples attitude during the month. I don't know if it is because summer is officially beginning or that there are now allot more young people working, which makes for more interesting business interactions. The month is hard to explain. For myself, I usually go through a dip emotionally. I find myself asking allot of questions about my life and the universe in general, while at the same time trying to find the time to mow the lawn. (Mowing the lawn, by the way, is a good time to try and figure out life's greatest mystery's.)

So it is now that I announce what will be upcoming, and if there is anyone out there reading this, expect some posts in the near future. As far as the music goes, well I'll be working on that as much as I can. I'll also try to give a brief synopses on what the writings are all about.
