Sort of like blogging.....................


     It's so important to have a hobby.  A hobby is something creative that's just for you.  You don't try to make money or get famous off it, you just do it because it makes you happy.  A hobby is something that gives but doesn't take.  While my art is for the world to see, music is only for me and my friends.  We get together every Sunday and make noise for a couple of hours.  No pressure, no plans.  It's regenerative.  It's like church.

     Don't throw any of yourself away.  Don't worry about a grand scheme or unified vision for your work.  Don't worry about unity - what unifies your work is the fact that you made it.  One day, you'll look back and it will all make sense.
