Way too many thoughts to count

So I just got back from a trip to New York and it was beyond amazing. I saw a bunch of shows and walked everywhere and saw a bunch of local sights and had some great food. Here's as much of the list that I can remember right now: NY Philharmonic, South Pacific, West Side Story, Waiting for Godot, Hair, Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Natural History, Carnegie Deli, Times Square, West Point Academy for the 4th. I know there was more I just can't think of it right now.

My mind has been racing for days now with music in my head and laughter in my heart. It was great hanging out with Randy and Chris and Michelle and everybody this weekend. I wish I had more time but as with everything you have to come back to reality, something I don't like doing if I don't have to. I've been listening to music for the last few hours trying to calm down before I go to bed but it isn't working. I just can't slow down, let alone think to get this all down in any semblance of coherence. So we'll see if you all can understand what I'm saying. All two of you that read this :-p lol.

Music is my soul and everything I look forward to. I think about it all day, night and everywhere in between. I've been ignoring it for so long because I continue to tell myself that I need to "get out of debt" or "get a little bit more ahead on bills" before I can fully go after my dream of music. . . . . The hell with that!! It's about time I start doing music as much as I say I love it. And if that means I'm up until all hours of the night trying to get my thoughts out on paper, then that's what I'm going to have to do. No one ever said it was easy, and so I need to start doing things for myself and taking care of what's in front of me instead of looking elsewhere for things I "need to be doing." I just keep getting myself hung up on all the non-important small things and stall my progress and break my focus.

I've got a musical I need to be working on. And so that's what I'm going to do. All this music flowing in my head has to go somewhere, it might as well be on paper!!

Take care all, and God Bless.
