"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." E:6:12

Felt like writing

Been really busy with work, and life, and getting in any practice time I can. I realized that I like writing blogs for the sheer fact of just mashing away on the qwerty. I like just kinda hashing out what I been up to or what my aspirations are, or random thoughts or poems just from the sheer fact self therapy in a sense. I guess it I realize it is fun to just write away and then look at it a couple months down the road and see how proactive I am or how lazy I been! Its all to the good though. I can't complain, God has blessed me well with fire and mana :)

Lately I have been sampling, record digging and all that for the last month. Really diving into manipulating sound, finding what I want to do, and also primarily focusing on jamming with the songs live. Been sampling a lot of King Tubby from vinyl, those grooves are just so fun! I also picked up an MPC-1000 as I want to be able to produce on my lunch breaks and what not. The MPC is really amazing but the most important thing is I am able to utilize it. Over the years I have been on a "...if I buy this then I will conquer the world!!" binge. All it has done is hold me back. But on the flipside, I have found out pieces of software or kit that I truly use as workhorses. It took me only what, 6 years? *sigh* *sigh* I get sad thinking of all the years 'wasted'. I dont know, though about it being wasted. I had to do alot I guess to find out my mentality needs to change to more developement than getting it out there. Patience. I see now it is worth it to take more time to get a more hard hitting sound then just getting sound out. I have been trying to sell stuff off that I do not use, like a bunch of software. My Xbox 360. Dunno whats next, but I have to be savage I think, less is more. At least to me. So Gods journey continues...speaking of that....

A roller coaster of beauty is what it is. Ups and downs. Trials and respits. Refinement and respiration. Breaths of the Spirit, while wearing the dustmask of the Bible. So long to go, so far I have come.

I guess I am just going to keep plugging away, nothing else I can do. The things heavy on my mind:

Girlfriend? lol
Music..
Just took over my moms house she was in, as she is moving out, having two new roomates.
Relationships..

Heavy on the heart:
Wanting to learn more and more in the Word.
Stupid worries...

=)
