I
can’t
believe it’s almost 2006! Where did the year go? I’m further
along in some things than I thought I’d be and not as far along
as I’d hoped with others. For example, I may have some music placed
shortly but I still don’t have my website set up the way I want
and I still need to work on how to promote my CD now that I’ve finally
selected the songs that are going to be on it.
Also, even though my plan was to have more of a social life, that still
has not happened yet, although I did spend a most interesting and enjoyable
evening out last Sunday with a man who sells religious books in my neighborhood.
He’d invited me out for dinner and a movie and I thought for sure
we’d be taking the subway wherever we went or I’d be driving
my clunker. Imagine my surprise when he showed up in front of my building
in a 2005 Mercedes sedan complete with all the bells and whistles. Who
knew selling religious books and artifacts could be so lucrative! I’m
happy to report he was a perfect gentleman the entire evening, something
that’s much undervalued these days. And even though we didn’t
see eye-to-eye on some religious topics, he didn’t try to beat me
over the head with his views and we were able to have a very stimulating
conversation.
We went to the Whitestone Cinema in the Bronx and saw Aeon Flux. My only
comment about that movie is this: If your wish is to see Charlize Theron
dressed in black, tight fitting latex outfits, striking poses and doing
high kicks, this is the movie for you.
On the music front, I’ve had some positive responses to the music
I’ve been sending around and even had a couple of meetings lined
up until the transit strike came along and turned everything upside down.
Hopefully things will get back on track after the first of the new year.
I have quite a few new songs in the can and am working on more. I was
offered a job as an in-house producer at a recording facility in Queens
but turned them down because they weren’t offering any money to
speak of. It was nice to be asked though.
I have work lined up at a law firm next week, which is a good thing. I
like working at this particular firm because they never have any work
for me to do and I spend the day doing research online and logging my
receipts and taking care of my paperwork. Last week I typed up the lyrics
for most of my songs.
Once again, the box of holiday cards I was planning to send out are looking
accusingly up at me, still unsent. Some people are really good at that
sort of thing. I am not one of them. I may write a happy holidays jingle
and send it around via email. Hope runs eternal…
I’m already putting together my list of resolutions for the new
year. One is to start an exercise routine and actually stick to it. My
butt is starting to do scary things and there are drag queens with more
cleavage than I have. Another is to figure out a way to put some or all
of these clips that someone sent me into a song: dubites
I’m looking forward to 2006, working with my new band, performing
out a lot more, enjoying life and the love of family and good friends
and, who knows, maybe romance. Keep hope alive…
More soon...
