The Poison-Tipped point of Lying

So I heard a ridiculous story involving ridiculous characters and ridiculous circumstances. All because of one person being false. Constantly false. Incessantly false. It was hilarious. I won’t be naming any names; only that the whole story was so ridiculous it was nearly unbelievable. The problem was that it was true.

The point as to why people lie? Motivations, causes? Usually selfish. Usually money or personal gain or to cover someones ass because they were asked to. What does this untruthfulness tend to do? Break things.

Take; for example, your typical relationship. The good ol’ man and woman. Or even man and man. Or woman and woman. Or koala bear and koala bear. You get the picture.

Lying affects us all equally. It hurts when someone lies. And if it’s for something stupid; then why was there a lie in the first place? Fear. Of what? Can’t pay rent? Can’t do this? Can’t do that? But you can lie and make up a story. But you can go through the effort of hurting someone. So long as you don’t hurt yourself. But really, you are hurting yourself when you damage that relationship. At least most of the time.

Just some thoughts.

Paul Ozz Music Presents: “Land of Secrets” Sampler!

This sampler is to show the world what my music has evolved into.

It contains 3 songs from the 12 song album to be released early 2013.

The songs are as follows:

Unbinding of Ah’nu

The Figure Under the Sun

Void Eater (Never before released!!!)

I hope you enjoy the music I have written; and that you will join me on my musical painting.

That Moment when Inspiration meets Workflow

So I have set a task for myself. I have a rehearsal at about 2 PM today. And I have a song that needs re-recording. The whole thing. An entirely new Logic file. I want to see exactly how far I can go and how fast I can go by that time. I’ll re-update this post when I’m done to see if my momentary excitement about doing this will translate into epic results. Hopefully it will do.

Live action inspiration? Wicked. Okay so not entirely live action; but perhaps word-action.

Update:

So I definitely just exercised my willpower. Two-three hours of recording and a lot of hard work doing MIDI to do new and improved drums for the old song. Re-recording also brings about a lot of re-learning of material. Thankfully it wasn’t too too difficult; and I almost have it fully ready. Very cool. I need a coffee break or something now though. Feeling kind of tired/feint.

The Bucket List

Usually when people talk about bucket lists they talk in disappointment of not going for their goals and dreams earlier in their life as to feel more fulfilled. This isn’t one of those blog posts.

No; this blog post is about going and moving forward; and taking action. My bucket list is a long one; but I have just recently decided (as of today) that it will be shorter by the end of 2012. I’m going for it. I have to. I can’t just wait it out and think that it would happen by itself: no, I need to kick ass TODAY. RIGHT NOW. Otherwise when? When I’m older and have even less time to go for my dreams?

I’ll let you know how I progress some time.
