I want a lot of things, like many of us do.
I want to be able to spend my days in leisure with my wife, our friends and family. I want to never worry about money again. I want a Great Dane. I want to see my extended family more often. I want to hang out with my friends more often. I want to finish recording my new album. I want to play a ton of shows. I want to re-design this website. I want to design t-shirts and stickers for sale.
I need to do a lot of things too, as all of us do. I need to eat, drink, and provide shelter for myself and my family. To do this I need to work at a good job. I need to clean house, I need to shop. I need to get my oil changed. I need to do the laundry. I need to finish school.
Somewhere between these two things, between the Wants and the Needs, are the things I actually get done. I will never have everything I want and that’s fine, I don’t think I or anyone else should ever have everything they want, it’s not healthy or fair. I get to do a great deal of things I want to, and one of those things right this moment is working on a new album. A lot of work is already done but there’s still a lot more to do. I’m also playing a few shows here and there, I know it’s sparse, but one only has so much time.
I hope to keep you in the loop about the recording process, I’m really excited about some of the stuff that’s going on and I hope you will be too. Thanks for the continued support you give me by coming to shows, listening to my music online, telling your friends about my music, and just sending happy thoughts my way. Hope you’re all having a wonderful 2012 so far, see you soon,
-loren
