Ever feel left in the dark about something but have no idea why? Yeah, I feel that way about something right now and it’s been messing with my head for the last few days but I have such an awesome week ahead that I could really care less. And besides, the emotions will just make it easier to put a lot of energy into song writing and recording.
Firstly, as I wrote about before, I have regained my motivation to work on my solo album, so I plan to spend a ton of time this week working on it as much as possible. A good chunk of the album has been completely finished but the rest needs a lot of help, so I have my work cut out for me.
Second, I plan to practice with my band at least a couple times this week so that hopefully by the end of the summer we’ll be ready to play a couple shows. I’ll be practicing with a new member of Lifting Shadows for the first time, which should be interesting and fun. I can’t really talk about what he plays or whether or not he’s replacing someone until later on in the week.
Thirdly, this week is INSANE when it comes to new releases. The new Mars Volta album AND the new Dream Theater album coming out on the same day? I thought I was dreaming when I saw it but it’s true. I’ll definitely try to review both of them and I’m very excited about both of them. There’s quite a few other albums coming out too, which I hope to be able to listen to as well.
And last, since I’ll be leaving for camp next Sunday for three weeks, I’ll be doing a lot of catching up. I’ve already planned to meet up with a few friends this week and hopefully I’ll be able to hang out with even more as plans come into focus.
So even though I’m confused about some shit, as I mentioned at the top, I have enough going to keep myself from worrying about it too much.
