"washout"

I think this isn't too bad for getting back into the swing of things. I really need to start using my old mastering compressor though the kicks aren't thick enough. First track on the playa.

stretching my range a little.

I'm still unemployed, but it gives me lots of time to do silly things like I'm about to show you.

The Breaking Benjamin tune "Diary of Jane" isn't one of my favorite songs, but it's got a decent melody (if a little bit Linkin Park-ish melodramatic), and it's one of Jen's favorite songs. I haven't let her listen to it yet, but I did a version of it for her since I had mentioned it once and actually had the time to follow through. It's right there on the player, first song. Let me know what you think of it.

I lost my job today

One of twenty to feel the sting of the layoff. I'm still not sure how to handle it. What I'm most afraid of is letting Jen down. Being an American male and losing your job is something like being castrated. Where I live, options are very limited. The best approach is to educate myself and pursue bigger goals. I am a bit flattened right now--it's the price I pay for getting used to a routine.

If anyone has any advice at all, I'd love to hear it.

do whatever you please with it!

I'm at a point in my life where I think I'm overall happier than I've ever been, despite looming layoffs at my place of employment, a relationship with a ([an] incredible) woman that just happens to live kind of far away, and a severe case of writer's block musically. I'm not normally struck with such blatant optimism, but this year is already shaping up to be different. I don't know if it's the way people are in this new, terrible economy, a historic new president, or maybe I just thrive in the inevitable entropy.

All I really have to voice right now is--be grateful for what you have and the ability to change and to become. Life's only constant is change, and you don't have to be part of anyone's status quo. There is no such thing as perfection but when the environs are right it opens up a whole new chance to seize things you haven't tried before. Get educated, educate yourself, expand your horizons, think bigger.
