i'm having a somewhat difficult time naming this one, so if any of you (i know you're out there...somewhere) readers would like to help out on this one, that would be great. i've got another one i did last month that i'll try to put on here asap.in the world of music, i've been working on a song for the past week or so. i've finished a rough recording of it, but i can't seem to find a good way to upload it to the internet. garageband is my new favorite toy. lately, i've been listening to a lot of big band music, glenn miller in particular. not to mention, there seems to be an overabundance of it on the work playlist. it's great stuff, and it's interesting to see how far music has progressed from then to now. sometimes, i prefer the older style of doing things.
today in the studio, i was listening to elliott smith's "figure 8." great music, depressing story to his life. i used to get depressed just listening to his music, but now i'm able to hear the beauty and incredible talent he possessed in spite of his personal issues. for those of you who don't know of múm, you should give them a listen. it's interesting music, for sure. they're icelandic, so if you're into the great stuff coming out of that island, these guys are a treat. it ranges from electronica to ambient, and the vocals are somewhere between soothing and creepy. it's beautiful to listen to.
on another note altogether, it's hard for me not knowing what God's plan is for my life. i've been married for 8 1/2 months now, about to graduate in december, and i work at starbucks. the economy is falling down around our ears, and i'm kind of concerned as to what i'm going to do for a living so to support my family. painting doesn't really bring any huge income unless you're famous. which i am not. i don't plan on working at starbucks for the rest of my life, and i don't plan on school for the rest of my life, so what am i gonna do? frankly, it's kind of scary.
i know that God has incredible plans for me, and i trust that he will take care of me and my family, but it's hard when you don't know the plan, you know? i've never considered myself to be a control freak or anything, but i don't know what to do. pray. i suppose that's all i really can do. and i can try to be the best person i can be. i've always said that i want to live my life as simply as possible. i don't need much to be a happy person. give me my wife, a guitar, a bike, and some painting supplies, and i'm good to go. i just want to take care of what i've been blessed with. God gives and he takes away, so i'm trusting his lead in wherever this crazy thing we call life takes me.
and i leave you with a couple photos i recently took:
