LOL. Strange title, that one. But, it’s very appropriate for me. I am still working on what I wanted a decade ago. Some things just take time, I guess.
So, what is that? Well, I suppose it’s what many people want … to show a wide range of people (the world, maybe?) what you are about. For me, that’s my music. It also might be my thoughts. But, then, I have a lot of personal thoughts that I don’t share, mainly because they are mine and not shared by many around me.
But, the list of things I do want to share in this New Year and new endeavor (this blog) is huge. The short list is …
- Impressions and experiences of my trip to France.
- Paris … City of Lights, city of Love.
- Enya, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, etc, etc, …
- 1974 … the year I leaped and missed.
- What *is* the Cost of Freedom (referring to my song)
- Choices … make them or lose them
- On Aging
- On “Looks”
- Missed Opportunities
- MAS (Minnesota Association of Songwriters)
- My Father
- My Mother
- My Sisters (that could be juicy .. but don’t be fooled)
- My Wife and boys
- Songwriting … my approach
- Evolution and Intelligence
- I watched three birds a-singing
That should takes us through January (assuming I keep writing one a day). We shall see what February brings.
In the meantime, “New Year, Old Life” just means to me that not everything changes with the calendar. I still have similar agendas. I still need to lose weight (I still need to work on that). I still need to work, period (for a little bit more, anyway). I still need to treat everyone with dignity and respect, even when I don’t think they deserve it. And, I still need to remember to buy flowers for that special woman who puts up with my silliness and forgetfulness every single day of the year, regardless if it’s a New Year or not.
So, until next time, have fun … in any life (or year).
