New Years Resolutions - Not Just 4 New Years Anymore - Happy Twenty Ten !

Hello!!!

So many people ask what your resolution for the New Year is going to be.
Me...I'm going to write more music. Acoustic, electric, digital ....all of it. I might even track a ton of Ukelele. My grandfather gave me one eons ago. Not a fancy one either, but that's why I should record some masters using it!
To aid in this process of mass musical composition I purchased a M-Audio Fast Track the other day to help me at home. Seems I'm always up late at night with ideas flowing, but I have nothing close to me (my studio is 20 mins away!) to get the job done that I can easily transfer into the AudioHotel Studio. So...I purchased the fast track. My bassist Jeff in Fear The State just got one, and he said it's amazing. And so...I wait for the UPS man like a kid waiting for Santa Claus. It can't get here quick enough. You see...sometimes writing an idea at 2am in my cold lower level just has magic nothing else can imagine. I don't know what it is, but it works for me. My goal with all this music is to get it used in all different formats. Singers, Bands, TV, Radio, Commercials and Movies. Don't worry...there will be New Fear The State music out this year, too. It's already in the works.

Other resolutions for me are going to be to work out. My arm is killing me from painting a small ceiling. So...it's time..I need to work out daily. cut the BS and act like an old man for cryin out loud. Get to the gym.
I'll drink more water, too....but I'm still drinking beer. It's all american, and I like it. Plus...it's the only thing I splurge on. (Magic Hat for NYE!! TWENTY TEN Coming in Strong!!! YEAH!! )

The other resolution I'm holding onto from last year is to make resolutions on the spot. New Years Eve is only another day, my friends. You should always commit to what you think to yourself, or at least I think so. So I'm doing that. It's like absolute honestly. It makes me happy. Try it. Next time you think you need to change something, make a decision and change it at that moment. That's it. No turning back.

The other thing I'm going to do this year is FOCUS. I'm going to Focus on my tasks more closely so I can accomplish more. Sounds simple enough. I'm sure it's not, but I'll find out. I would imagine it's going to show me what's most important to me. And that's perfect.

Happy resoluting....and Happy New Year! Twenty-Ten coming in!
Smile, Be Yourself and Focus.
