So inspired by the beauty of success

Wow. I just saw that my friend and fellow singer-songwriter Christian St. Croix from SaintsCrossing.Com just finished his album "Rebel Yells (And Other Tales)" and is now on iTunes!

He is such an inspiration to me because our friendship grew from... somewhere, I don't even remember how but somehow we became friends over the web space and I've known him for quite sometime now, and even before he completed this milestone in life. It's such a sight to see when someone you know becomes successful. Don't get me wrong, he just completed his album and is currently on the market for performing, but he is actually doing something out there with his talent. It's something that makes him happy, and something that will get him by, and something he is working hard to achieve. To me, that means you are successful. It's not just about money in your pocket, it's about loving what you do, being good at it, and making a living off of it.

I am so envious of him. I mean I could be doing that as well but I just haven't had the heart or inspiration to do it. I'm one of those people who doesn't get inspiration off a whim, it has to come to me in a state of utter emotional instability, when I'm completely vulnerable is when I pull songs out of me.

So now that he's completed his first milestone, I can resume mine. I am inspired to get mine done by the end of the year. Finally finish and complete a part of me that has been a long time coming that will show case my talents, my mind and the deepest part of me! Get ready because I'm making it!

You can download his album off iTunes! Just click on the picture and you will be directed to the page:

Day Zero Project

I was trolling through peoples random blogs today and I came across one called 3Fourteen.Com and I really liked it. She has a humorous tone to the way she writes. I was looking at her blog and I saw she was doing a Day Zero Project... although I'm not completely sure about what it's about, it seems interesting enough that it's all about goals. Setting them and accomplishing them in a certain amount of time. I felt inspired to try it on my own.

Have you guys done any lists or projects that might be self improving your life? How did that work out for you having a list of goals and trying to accomplish them?

New Layout! Inspiration is hard to find.

As a lot of you guys know, inspiration is one of the hardest things to come by. Most people spend days, weeks, months, years looking for inspiration and it's so hard to come by it most of the time. Some people can come up with anything and work off of that and inspiration will come naturally. Unfortunately for me, I try to find inspiration, but it just never comes! I have to be super vulnerable or sad or just over emotional for something to come to me. It sucks really. Maybe sometimes, it'll come out of nowhere and I'll write a song in less than 10 minutes. Isn't that crazy? I think so.

Well, I put up a new layout for my blog. It is a small little banner that someone made for me. If you have been to my YouTube Channel you would recognize it. I like it and decided to put it as the background.

I'm not very good with designing websites. When I was younger, I was all into that and I would design many things but then I just lost touch with it when I moved around a lot. I wish I knew how to do it. I mean, I know what I want from my blog and my website but I feel like I just cannot muster up the creativity to fix it up. I just do not have that ability to do that.

I'm trying to think of a niche for my blog. I know that I don't want to really just limit myself to one thing and go about my life just working off of it. I feel that's too constricting of my talents. But I do need something that I can focus on and write about that people will come back too. It seems as if i'm just writing randomly and life is just changing too much for me to put everything I want to down into a blog. So I just need to focus on smaller things. What should I write about more often?
