Music:

My music is the only way that I can unwind. College life and the brutal confines of a classroom have driven me to procrastinating and practicing the guitar instead. This summer has been nothing but guitar practice. I performed at a coffee shop recently, which did not go well in my book. I have been learning all the new scales...mainly the modes (Dorian, Phrygian,...etc.) I know them I just need to practice them so I have more freedom becoming proficient. People always tell me I'm so good at the guitar, and I have to tell myself that God gave me the gift. I cannot claim my success for my own, for God has allowed me to exceed; even though I may not use it the way he wants all the time. I will never stop playing guitar. There is always more to learn, more to create, and more to explore.

Girls: Friend or Foe

I think the title of this blog explains everything about this post. My friend Jake has experienced first hand a "woman's touch" upon his life...he is a broken man now, and who can save him? Not I, for many a sorrowful melody has played out through these fingers. Music is our only escape...in its chords we hide our feelings; in its lyrics we hide our thoughts. When music is removed from our lives I, and my friend Jake, will surely perish.
