I have been so busy for the past four-five months. I have never experienced anything like it. The person I was before died. I became something different, and now that person, has died (retreated?) as well. With the return to the social/personal I hope to be able to string together some interesting information on this site over the next five-six months.
I feel a desire for completion-organization-release. We shall see.
The cottage should help to allow the creative juices to flow.

The Experimental Farm
After much difficulty with Myspace.com (and never being a fan of the site in the first place), I have decided to use imeem.com as the site to host my music (it's listed as the link MusiqueuqisuM).
There are two tracks up right now. There are both very short. Give 'em a listen and tell me what you think.
The Experimental Farm is the latest incarnation of a band consisting of my brother, sister, and myself. We recorded a couple of our jam sessions two years ago. Over Easter I will try and get some of those songs up on the site.
imeem.com is a great site to share music. Check it out, set up a profile, and sing some songs.
I'm happily housebound due to the snow storm and I will be working on some new tracks today.

Twenty-and-One Days
The approach of spring.
I've reached the point of winter where I've actually forgotten about summer. That's the best part of winter. Summer for Canadians is such a treat, a reason for celebration. "It's a good life, if you don't weaken."
Spring is rebirth and release and I think that is what Easter is truly about. Keeping with the fine tradition of said holiday we'll be jamming and letting the planet and the heavens above know that we are still here and we're happy about it.
I spend a lot of my time searching for, thinking of, music that will help elevate the party. Music is a motivator and I like to use it for the forces of good (dancing, carousing, merriment).
Hemingway wrote that "the sun also rises." He's reminding you that there are positives in this world.
I like to say "the sun always rises." I'm trying to put some perspective on the world we cloak ourselves in.

The Funeral . . . Again (trailer) Explanation
The trailer posted below is for a short film written , directed, and executive produced by Matt West. I’ve worked with Matt for the past four years and it has been a treat. Matt shot the film on 16mm over three days last November. Almost everyone who worked on the picture did so out of respect for Matt and on their own time.
Matt is preparing to send the film for festival consideration but he is also quite busy with the birth of his daughter, Scarlett Valerie Hamilton West. Ever the filmmaker, Matt has created a web page featuring videos and photos of his pride and joy. Check them out at:

Empathy
I really don’t understand these people who go into a school and shoot students and then themselves. I can relate to a lot of different people and I can understand how people do a lot of different, sometimes terrible, things. I honestly can’t understand the selfishness, hate, and depression it would take to march into a school and shoot a whole bunch of people, and then, to add to your cowardice, kill yourself.
There is special place in hell for that poor soul. I’m not sure an infinity of nothing could undo that evil.

Thoughts
Thoughts/Statements on the day:
Valentine’s Day is strange but okay if you are in a relationship. Otherwise, it must be strange and annoying/stupid.
Roger Clemens received very poor advice from his legal team. He continues to take steps to make himself look more foolish in the public’s eye and to position himself closer to being charged with perjury. When the Mitchell report came out he should have just said, “I didn’t know what I was taking at the time. I didn’t break any of Major League Baseball’s rules.” But he didn’t do that.
Myspace.com is one of the most annoying, and poorly organized “social networking” sites I have ever used. I was able to upload a new song for ya’ll but I can’t figure out how to access it. I will get to the bottom of this over the weekend. Boogie Men Carpenter Records apologizes for the delay.
