What?

Do sometimes when you wake up do you feel like this is going to be a weird day?  Today has been that day to me.

I first woke up this morning at 5:45 because on Wednesdays I meet with two guys for journey group, a smaller group that meets to test, build and support one another.  This group is through Visio Dei, the church community we are apart of. 

Well the meeting was good, we mainly just hung out like we do sometimes just to catch up with one another.  I then went to Lowes', this is also a weekly, almost daily occurrence.  When I went there I had a plan, but when I got in, I forgot the plan.  So I had to make one up, luckily I remembered what I was going to do today.

Next I went back to my apartment to change my clothes, cause I work at a construction site and I do not like wearing my work clothes to breakfast.  I just felt weird when I got back.  My wife was getting ready for work and everything between us is good, but there was just something that I felt that made it weird.

I then spent the next 8-9 hours working beside a guy who really hated his job and proceeded to tell me, I think, every half-hour.  I, on the other hand, like my job cause I work for myself.  None the less work was horrible cause of that guy.

Next my wife and I went to home-group in which we had a healthy discussion on faith.  Maybe this is what has gotten me in a weird mood, cause I deal with several faith issues.  Not that I do not have faith that what The Lord has in store for me, but the faith that I will make the right decision and that of how much to question.  I think in a natural, intelligent, truth seeking world we always question.  We always want to know more.  Know how this works, know how this is going to happen, know why something or someone is the way they are.  We are naturally curious.  Well, I think I have come to the point where I only want to question what is valid.  How will I know the difference, I HAVE NO IDEA.  Any thoughts?  Please I could use another opinion.

I sent two emails to four different people (one email per two people).  Two very different emails both seeking some kind of reassurance.  The people who have received these emails may laugh, be freaked out or whatever.  But, I sent them anyway.  Maybe this is my attempt at trying to figure out what I should and should not question. 

So, to those four people I write this.  Sorry if the email freaks you out, I am just looking for some help.

MUSIC ANYONE?

New post tomorrow, Music.

So it is a day behind.  Tonight my brother, my dad and I went to our yearly concert outing.  Once again we went to The Allman Brothers Band concert at Walnut Creek.  It was once again a great show, we had a blast.  The Brothers were awesome.

That brings me to my post.  My post is about the way I see the music going.  I am kind of excited about the path that music is going down now.  I am first going to apologize if this hurts people's feelings, but the simple guitar playing and just playing bar chords for the entirety of a song is stupid.  The people who signed those bands put American music back about 10 years when they did that.  

Now I understand I wish we could have skipped disco as well, but at least they had sort of flashy clothes.  But in the 90's when most of the bands were playing music that the guitarist just knew how to play bar chords and nothing else was stupid.  However, as I was saying, the music has seemed to take a turn.  Everyone across the board is starting to experiment and trying new things.  Implementing new sounds, different instruments and just making music enjoyable again.  

I feel like we are taking steps forward towards a better musical society.
