...it's whats for dinner

About Me

MY LIFE IS; Talking about the meaning of life every morning with my wife, as if our heads are filled with new ideas. Practicing the drums for hours everyday. Driving myself insane trying to perfect whatever technique my A.D.D. brain is fixated on at that given time. Working out and jogging in the early evening, convincing myself it's not making a difference. At night, relaxing at home or loading my gear and playing a gig somewhere in Los Angeles. On Sunday mornings, playing at a funky African American Gospel church in Compton. Chillin with the boys, acting stupid, and talking about nerdy music shit that normal people don't care about. Hanging at the Baked Potato Jazz Club watching some serious cats lay it down. Taking trips to Georgia's home in Switzerland. Feasting and partying in Zurich.

27

I've realized that every year on this day, I tend to do a reevaluation of accompolishments in my life (career wise mostly). I suppose most people look at the year in retrospect on New Years....
