Four


"Four" is quite the appropriate title for this entry.
That is the number of songs I am currently working on for the album.
Well, at least that is the number of songs that I feel absolutely good about.
Everything else that I have done in the past four weeks has been scrapped. I suppose that is how the recording process is suppose to go.
However, this is my first time at attempting to record a full length disc.
I suppose I should try to be more patient but I find myself being unable to do so.
I'm not sure what it is.

Today, for example, I was completely frustrated, literally about to give up. I was so frustrated at the thought that I have not even completed one song. I do however, have four strong ideas I feel good about. Still, I thought that I might be at least half way complete with the entire project by now.
I guess not.
I am also becoming increasingly frustrated at the constraints that my musical talent (or lack thereof) has put on me. I'm not the most gifted musician, I already know that. I find that most frustrating because I have found that music is my passion but that it probably isn't going to be a career in any fashion for me.
At least I have other things going for me...law school soon...then, who knows?
No bother, I'm not going to be a child about it. I have too much to be grateful for.
I'm just going to continue work on the album and enjoy my youth.

goodnight.
