Thank goodness I am an artist, first and foremost. I have been given a gift, a vehicle to express what I feel, see, hope and experience. A vehicle with license to freely go where I want, to be what I want to be, and most importantly to feel ALIVE without any borders. Free to push the envelopes and continue to discover the world around me. Free to risk.

I have a day job in the corporate world but being a working artist allows me to see out of the box and be creative in a "forcibly" creative environment. Being an artist saves me. Whereas there are a lot of good folks who really want to realize their dreams but fall into a trap of waking up one day too late saying, "I should have, I could have..." (By the way, it's never too late. It's only a matter of how important it is for you to make it happen.)

Have you ever wanted something so bad that it hurts? Hurts so bad because deep down inside you know that if you do not take the risk, a part of you will die? Will be lost? Will be wasted? Think about it. So many social standards that forces one to be boxed in and made to think that fitting in is the only way. Pretty sad. What happens is a bunch of people that identify themselves to something that is fundamentally not them. We try to stand out within the parameters of society's rules and regulations, only to find that we have pushed aside who and what we really want to accomplish.

So...this is me blabbing, being nervous, being anxious. Why? I finally see the end...the production of our 3rd album (yet untitled) is almost complete. Lead vocal tracks are done. Back vocals are on the way. Mixing has started on some tunes and, on other tunes mixing is being finalized.

I feel like I am on the edge. About to take a step into the abyss. My heart is pounding and I can hear myself breathe.

It's good to feel alive.
