Still workin

The last couple of weeks have been really good in a lot of ways. I’m eating healthier, I’m exercising more regularly and in general being more conscious of my health. There are rough spots, no doubt. Anyway, lots of interesting things happening. The NCMA organization is actually putting together a coalition of organizations addressing missing persons. This is a good sign for the Missing Project, which has been warmly received by the NCMA. I’m planning to attend a formational meeting of the coalition in the southwest sometime in October. I think my goal will be to have the Missing Suite wrapped up by then. I’m two keyboard tracks short of a full tracking, and then it’s just a matter of mixing and mastering. And three, no, four years in the making? Man. I gotta get this wrapped.

I’ll tell you, it’s hard to balance CivicActions with music. For the last year, and especially the last 6 months, music has steadily become deprioritized over getting the company moving forward out of the bloodbath that was 2009. I’m still writing and trying to rehearse daily. I’m actually rehearsing 4-5 days a week, and by rehearsing I mean playing at least 3 songs with my full presence and expression. I’m excited about the possibility of actually having the EP done, and eventually the full length record.

So much to do! I need to re-order Generate Kindness stickers, I’m re-designing my website to be more of a blog (using WordPress), working on Sharedvoice.org, the Missing Project, wrapping up the case study for the Design-a-thon. Buggah!! (That’s the sound of an about-to-be-headless chicken.
