An ambitious man up to a point I spent a great deal of time in Mexico doing the following:

Labor (w/ music on constantly to block out annoying fellow workers, which helped me hold my tongue and peace)

Reading

Recording five new demos to round out my album

Look, you're just going to have to wait til the end of the summer...not that you're all dying out there waiting to hear this. But I'm still very excited about this project and creatively I feel very good right now. I've had a lot of hang-ups (stylistic, thematic, etc.) in the past, but I'm gradually breaking free musically.

Lyrics are the weak point thus far: 1 part failed-romance confessional + 1 part sentimentality about childhood innocence seems too...immature at this point. So what I'm looking to do is to abstract some of my story telling a little more, maybe touch on some more religious things...which is always a task because I tend to be a heavy-handed person on some of those topics (see last post). But we'll see. I really don't know what I'm going to mess with yet...or if I really have it in me to write a whole lot more.

I go into the studio for my first meeting with the engineer/producer on Tuesday.
