Since I’m still getting some regular traffic on this blog, I thought I’d highlight something new that I’m up to: music
Here’s a little blurb from my new site:
Some days, I’d be perfectly content to just enjoy all the amazing music that’s already out there. There’s so much of it, what else could I possibly have to add, right?
But other days, it seems like if I don’t create my art, if I don’t make my music and get it out there, I’d be missing the boat on something really important.
So, here I am. Making my music and sharing it with the world. I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t care whether you like it or not… I really do hope you like it, and that it strikes a chord, or a nerve, or something.
A little detail on the name, the Tension.
I’ve always been kind of an idealist. Which you might think would mean that I am a pretty optimistic guy, but I’m actually not at all. I’m pretty critical and pessimistic, actually. That’s what seems to happen when the realities of life come crashing down into the hopes and dreams of an idealist.
I find myself constantly torn between the amazing things that we could do in this life, and the reality that the day to day can be a struggle for many of us. The heights of human achievement, and the depths of our dysfunction. Our unfathomable capacity for healing and love, coupled with our seemingly inescapable tendency to destroy and hate.
This is the tension we find ourselves in. This is where our dreams and reality meet.
This is the Tension… welcome.
So, thanks for stopping by my blog. But I’d love it if you’d join me over at my new site as I continue to wade through the tension…
the tension is here...
