  • Another Sunday afternoon rolls around. Three weeks since my last entry. A lot has happened, though most of it I won't get into just now. Perhaps I'll talk about it in some future entry, but for now I think I'll stick to other matters, if that's okay.


    Well, I'm sitting here, eating coffee ice cream and wondering what exactly to do with myself. I had a gruelling week, and was up later than I wanted to be last night because of some business I had to take care of, so I only woke up a little after 4pm. Oops. But I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I needed the sleep. I'd like to go for a walk, but it's kind of toasty.  It's 35 degrees (97F) out, which is still cooler than yesterday's 42 (107) but much warmer than I like it to be if I'm going to be outside. Looks pretty, though, so I might brave it in a little while. Crista is still away, which always leaves me at a bit of a loose end.


    In Ticklish Brother news, one of our songs was recently used as part of the soundtrack of a short film, and has apparently been drawing a fair bit of attention. In addition to making us a little money, it gives us some good exposure, as the film will be broadcast on YTV and perhaps other television stations. Good exposure is priceless.


    For those of you looking for an interesting web radio station, I have one for you. It's called Whole Wheat Radio, and it's broadcast out of a 4x4 meter (12x12 foot) plywood cabin in Alaska. They broadcast high quality independant music in a variety of genres (but no urban, heavy metal, rap...). They're really fun people, too. The website is quite detailed, with a listener console offering current track information, a request service, the next 100 hours of upcoming programming, and a chatroom for you and other listeners. Quite fascinating. I introduced myself there last night and they read part of my weblog on air! So if you're looking for a quirky station with great music, check them out.


    Anyhow, that's it for today, I guess. A more reader-friendly-sized piece. I'll try and post again fairly soon.  Thanks for dropping by.


    Take care

  • Nice to hear from you, Justin. Coffee ice cream ought to get you up and going for that walk outside. Might even keep you cool for three minutes. It's finally cooling off here. In fact, looks like we'll be having sweater weather soon.

    Congratulations on the song. I do hope it goes well for you two.

  • Thank you for your kind comments on my site

  • Nice to hear from you. How are you coping with wife away?

    What do you think of Breedlove guitars?

    Congrats on the song usage. What film? Where?

    I love coffee ice cream!

    Will check out the radio link! Sounds cool! What else is there to do in Alaska??

  • The Corus trio Justin, YTV, Treehouse, and Discovery Kids.  Absolutely cool.  Sherri is also working with another company she does not own called First Contact, and they're currently pitching a series to several networks which might be interesting for us to investigate.

    I'm already making calls.

  • Congrats on your song being used in a soundtrack. Who knows? maybe other people will start going that rout as well. Not a bad way to get publicity.

  • Congrats on your good news, and I'm sorry to heat that there are things going on that are less pleseant...

    WHat you said in the last sentence of your comment on my site is something I have felt and said to people repeatedly. For me, I get complacent in a comfortable space in life only to find out through a humbling experience that there is no time to rest in the work of life and growth.

    I ate a candy bar today just to try and feel better about life-- it didn't work. I have reaaaaaally been struggling with wanting to get high and drink again just to ease this pain I have been in for a good many months. It wasn;t until this past month that it got so bad that I couldn;t avoid it anymore.

    Sometimes I don't feel like I can bare any more roadblocks in life. I hope this is the climax of the pain I have been in and that the conclusion is drawing near. I can't keep feeling like this, it is destroying me.

    I don't know whats happening in your life that has disrupted the flow- but I feel empathy for you in whatever it might be. I hope that it is something that can be resolved, and that you are able to work through it. I know I am spiritually blocked right now, and really if I could just get through that--- I'd probably feel a hell of alot better... oh well, one minute at a time. Our feet are on the ground still, so I guess that means in reality as of this very moment in space and time- we're ok. Sending you positive energy~
