There's an old John Waite song that I cover called Missing You. He declares that he absolutely isn't missing a certain someone. All the while, you know he's lying (mostly to himself, as he admits in the last part of the song). I've been feeling this for the last couple of weeks. Missing someone, and trying to deny the fact. Of course this always makes for a good writing season for me. Right now, it's about the one that got away. The one I want a future with, but just can't see how it could ever happen. Ah, unrequited love fuels my little heart with the sad songs I'm known for... Well, it's not so much an unrequited love, but unavailable. That my friends might just be worse than the aforementioned love.

You know what they say.... It's better to have loved than to blah, blah, blah!

Alas, before I start writing I must finish and put out The Waiting Room (which is in waiting itself). The recording is pretty much wrapped up, but I'm working on the funds to print the CD's up. [...]

December and January have been a bit slow, but thing are beginning to pick up (both musically and professionally). I've made a goal of playing 100 shows in the next year with a few buddies of mine (Lance Whalen, Mike Griffin, Adam Burrows, and Gabriel Wright). My understanding is that if we all meet our goal, we will party in Nashville TN in a limo on New Year's Eve. Honestly, I'm just competitive enough that I want to keep up with these guys. They are fantastic singer-songwriters.

I also plan on printing my CD up, selling a few copies and touring a bit to support it. I'm looking forward to getting out there and seeing everybody. 2010 was not the best year for me. However, it was a good time for rebuilding. I'm not the six million dollar man just yet, but the machine is getting back in the swing of things.

Support local music.... Come to my shows!
