I only made one New Year's resolution for the new year, and that is to not be phased or upset by anything in 2012 if I can possibly avoid doing so. I'm going to be Mister Mellow this year and just not get overly excited by angry people, my day job, or anything else.
Last year I was pissing blood on and off for several months, and a battery of doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me, even after months of tests. I worried about my boss's angry threats, which started in mid-year and continued all the way up to the end of the year, and amazingly, I'm still employed. And despite the doubts of some of my old associates, I am still married and my wife tells me that one year later she has "never been happier". (She's pretty outspoken and I have to believe she is telling me the truth on this one.)
I'm not really advocating apathy, but if you have your health and a loving family, you probably already have what you need to do well. I'm getting back to my roots and putting all my anger, frustration and other bullshit whining crap into the new album, which will probably be recorded in Los Angeles sometime after we move. I have no real band at the moment, it's just me writing and arranging as fast as I can before the moving company shows up.
Here's a sneak peek at the new music for those of you who are following what is going on. These are test tracks that were put together on my humble laptop in the new studio down on McKinnon St. (there is also test artwork but I cannot show it to anyone yet as negotiations with the artist are at a critical stage)
