Summer 2010

It has been a while since I've blogged, and I think the two or three of you who follow my blog deserve updates.

I am contemplating moving to the Brooklyn, NY area around the end of August or beginning of September. Very seriously contemplating. My sister is planning to go to school in the city, and her boyfriend will surely move in with her. Lauryn and I are both in our mid-twenties, living at home, and feeling like an escape would allow our lives to blossom both individually and together. While we have only been dating for a couple months, it's pretty obvious that we're serious enough to consider sharing a place with Alex and her boyfriend.

Of course, this may require me to do a lot of my freelance writing for wisegeek.com, and it will require me to look for other work. I'm not sure what other work I should seek, except that I need insurance. I just recently finished my internship term with Shakesperience Productions, an amazing theatre and acting class company based out of Waterbury, CT. As much as I grew to love them, I do not think it would be feasible of me to work for them.

This move may also take some toll on my music-making, though it may also help my music flourish. I would have to come back home on weekends or other times for recording sessions of my project, which is now going by the name STRIX NEBULOSA. As of now, I have five songs written, with drums programmed for two, and I have already visited the place where I hope to record the project. Additionally, my friend Nick, who is also a part of SN, has found us a session bassist.

Life is confusing and strange and exciting and more strange. Constantly.
