Whatever I Want, Whenever I Want.

Music has been stitched into this blog from the beginning. Sometimes the song comes first, sometimes the photograph does, and sometimes a lyric says what I couldn’t quite get onto the page. This is the full soundtrack, from rock and alternative to pop, country and everything that has found its way into the story.

Thirty years of Skillet. Eight concerts. A storm at Summerfest, changing lineups, signed memories, Comatose, Monster, and a band that somehow kept becoming part of my own history. Now Scream and After…

A couple of nights ago I couldn’t sleep, which happens more often than not. I tend to do my best thinking/writing/whatever you want to call it in the quiet darkness. It’s been that way as long as I can remember it. I think it’s a product of having less going on around me that let’s me run through my thoughts and then focus them.
Have you ever thought you’ve had something all figured out? Like all of the evidence you had in front of you at that moment in time was enough for you to make a call on it. Then after you thought you had made peace with it you find a missing piece. That one missing piece, whether small or large, completely throws you back in disarray. You question what you thought, what you felt, should you have felt it, and was making the decision you made the right one? I’m learning that lesson again.
The idea here is quite simple really. I tend to file things away in my head. Some would call it a box, for the purposes of this I call it a vault. It’s the place in my head where the memories are stored. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s all there. My thoughts in this post are if I could write a letter to myself that would arrive just prior to my starting Second Life, what would I say?
It’s about damn time that I got back to having Bakaboo grace the pages on this blog. It’s been far too long since I last had the chance to showcase a piece of art by my friend Ocean Blackthorne. In my time away I missed a great deal of things, one of those most certainly being working with Bakaboo. They have been love affair brand of mine since the first day I came across them and that has not changed one bit since.
I would say anyone who does anything creative tends to turn to the things they know. This shot has been in my head for longer than I can even say. I put off shooting it right away because to be honest I wasn’t sure that I could.
