April 4, 2010

It might surprise many of you to know that a lot of thought goes into these ocassional blog entries pertaining to the subject of religion.

Feel The Fear And…

April 3, 2010

Here’s the really curious thing – the blog posts were all but done. I added a line to each of the two posts remaining, added some tags and hit the publish button and they were done.

I found a recording earlier tonight that I had completely forgotten even existed. It is a song with a checkered past. I wrote it in high school and apparently recorded it in my ‘home studio’ (I had a $9 microphone I borrowed from a friend and a copy of ProTools Free) when I was studying in Sydney.
