November 2009 Archives

I have not had the same motivation (or inspiration) to write as of late. For a season, I was blogging quite regularly and there seemed to be no end to what I could talk about, but I feel like I'm entering a different season in my life.

In my formative years, I used to draw a lot. As I've entered into adulthood, I started playing music more and more and that became my main focus. Drawing simply faded into the background. However, I've started drawing again recently and I forgot how amazing it is. While I'm drawing, I feel like there are no other distractions. My heart is still, my focus is clear, and I feel as though I am connecting with God. No anxieties. No worries. No fear.

Naturally, I want to create more moments like that. I want to spend more of my time working on my art.

This isn't to say that I won't update my blog, nor does it mean that I am going to make drastic changes in my life (although that may be the case). There will probably be another season for writing, but this feels like a season for drawing. I've drawn more pieces in the last few weeks than I can remember drawing in a long time (anywhere from 1 - 5 pieces a day).

As for music, I believe that I will continue writing and playing as long as my brain and hands still work. To this point, 90% of my income has been from music, whether it be teaching or performing or CD sales. However, I have not done a very good job of living within my means, and now it's time to find another way.

It's time I started working. Everything else will have to be done in my spare time. This will likely be a big change for me, but I welcome it.

Thanks for hanging in there, everybody. Migrating over to Movable Type was a success, and I'm almost done working on the new design.

If you happen to come across a good article on preloading rollover images with CSS, please leave a comment in the comments section.

Thanks for your patience!

I'm finding it difficult to work with WordPress, so I've decided to migrate this site over to Movable Type. I have a lot more experience with Movable Type and have found that it suits me better.

On the up side, the new site will feature a nicer design, Twitter feeds, links to my other sites, and some other cool stuff I'm working on. The down side is that it may take a couple of days to get it up and running, and you may have to update your RSS feeds when all is said and done.

Ultimately, I think it will be well worth the effort.
