New Year, stronger outlook.
Except for the symbolism of the first day of a new linear calendar year, I find it a tad shameful that one only decides to turn over a new leaf and make resolutions on New Years. Why can't people simply wake up, step up to the plate and say "The line must be drawn here! This far...no further!"?
Other than that, all I will say (as I've stated my intentions in prior entries) that this is the year I either do it or I forget it completely.
I've been home more lately. I'm working on Consecrate from home now, prepping for the next session where I'll be making key changes... Probably in the first sequence of verses. Then I guess I'll rework all the vocals.
Within 3 months, I expect major changes in my life and work ethic. I expect nothing less of myself than great discipline and effort. I will accept nothing but perfection. I will spark the fire that will be the Epican Revolution.
Y'know what sparked all this? The same thing that inspired me to start writing music again and get back in studio again: MTV's New Year show. In fact ALL the New Years shows disgusted me. If this is all pop culture can contribute to the cause of music today, then it's time for this super-anti-hero to make his mark!
Where are today's Beatles or Lennons or Dylans or Morrisons? I see now a world starved of provocative thought and taste and forcing itself to be happy in its own mediocrity.
Happy New Year humanity. I'll do my best to save you from yourself.
