With school happening, I needed to let off some creative energy. So I drew these mountains on a notebook.

Don’t worry. It’s just sharpie.
Though I have been wanting a nose piercing.
Some snap shots of the band. Joey and I decided to audition for the Youth Charity Jam here in Rockford. That means we have to get busy and with the wedding closing in, I’m swamped. We’re getting it all done, though. Interestingly, the hardest part about doing music so far is deciding on a name for our group. Nothing sounds right or even good. Whatever. We’ll think of something; and even if we don’t, it doesn’t really matter.
When February comes I tend to get a little stir crazy. I’ve been shut up inside for months because of the cold. And I’ve done the same old thing for seven months: get up, eat, do school, eat, do more school, do random activities for given day, do school, practice voice and guitar, eat, go to bed. A restless soul like myself needs a change.
Normally when I get stressed, I write or take a walk outside in the woods behind my house to see the sunshine and, yes, the nature.
I hike through all the brambles and push thorns aside and splash through the creek and climb up and down hills. I get dirty, bruised, scraped, tired, but then, finally, I get to the end of the wood. There’s one last wall of tangled and twisted brambles, and I give a final push, and then, it’s all gone. The trees stop, the thorns, everything. There’s only an open field. And somehow I find peace in that.
However, when it’s February, it’s frigid and dark. There’s no walks for me. No nature. So, when February comes, I bring some nature into the house.
