This was a quick little song and video I put together for fun and for an experiment with a new video editing software. I hope you enjoy it!

This video is quite a long explanation; I had in fact planned on this being a lot shorter but alas what can I do but yap a lot out of my gob.
AND ISN’T IT FUNNY HOW I LOOK LIKE THE ‘ALIENS’ MEME IN THE THUMBNAIL?! WHOOPSIE BOOPSIE.

So ever since I started reading this book “The Magic” I’ve become a lot more grateful. As expected; the books chapters contain daily ‘rituals’ for being grateful as it’s premise is that being more grateful will only bring you more of what you are grateful for; or at least a lot of positivity.
Well since I started using it and started literally feeling how grateful I am; a lot has changed. A lot of confidence has started to build up. A lot of personal promises have been kept; and a lot of change has happened in my relationships and in my confidence with money. I have a very small sum of money; according to society, but man is it going to bring me a lot of changes that I am really happy to say will be only amazing ones.
I am grateful for it. I am grateful for what it will bring me and what my resources have given me in the first place. I can only go up and up from here with it. Partly is of course because I know where to invest it, but the other part is knowing that it is going to actually cause positivity. There is something really heart warming about knowing that you are going to do something positive with something physical in a way that will provide happiness – it’s this endless circle of joy. I love it.
I implore you to try it out. Take 20 minutes a day and think about things you are grateful for, and really feel it. Think about your relationships and your monetary situation or your career and just be grateful for where you’ve gotten yourself. A pat on the back can go a long way to helping confidence issues and bringing about a lot of extra joy you didn’t realize you could tap into.
Especially around this holiday season I am beginning to feel the happiness of family whereas usually people think hanging out with the fam-jam is a very boring and potentially hazardous situation or thought. I love it. I have a very small family but we get along just fine. We have never been super wealthy in the eyes of big pay-checks but we certainly do have each other. What more could you ask for other than for good health and to be actually happy with your life?
When one starts to focus on the ‘don’t-haves’ and the negative aspects of their lives they usually NEVER think about the positive aspects of those negatives. I know for me my current situation financially won’t bring me an apartment of my own, but I don’t let it get me down. I am thankful for knowing where I want to be, and what apartment I do want so that when I get it I am that much more grateful. But to even think of such pleasant thoughts and bring those endorphines in is ALSO something to be grateful for – getting the picture?
Just be grateful. It’s not that hard. As Devin Townsend has said in one of his songs “Laugh, love, live, learn.” Take the high road.
Cheers.

It turns out anyone can do anything they ever wanted; according to the idea that if you live for 87 years and you start at about 10 years old you can do 7 different things (so long as it takes 7 years to master one thing. Isn’t that impressive? Doesn’t that show immense awesomenessocity?!
Yes that isn’t a word but don’t argue over the semantics: the idea that you could master something in 7 years to me is profound. I’ve decided; recently, to master playing my instrument. I’ve begun a VERY difficult regiment of practice; as well as learning. So far so good – my abilities grow each and every time I do practice. The ability for me to see the difference is sometimes hindered because it takes time to develop ability and technique but by the end of a week or two I had begun to see my results.
My picking hand coordination as well as my fretting hand has gotten a bit more precise, a bit more articulate, and a bit more meaningful. The ideas pertaining to melody creation are coming together for the last few songs left on my album “Land of Secrets” and truly it is monumental: the amount of work being poured into this album is the most I have ever put into anything that is an an artistic creation. I greatly look forward to sharing it.
Currently I am working on a song entitled “He Enters the Blood and Sand”. It is about how the evil chaotic character Ahnu begins to rip peoples souls from their physical selves in order to create his personal ascension more powerful – as to be more formidable and godly. It’s so far really heavy – and I can see it being one of the longer songs. Alas; a lot of work is going into it. So far so good. Check back soon.
