bye bye January

did i mention i am horrible at blogging? one blog a week shouldn't be that difficult, but i did just finish a 10 day tour of upstate NY complete with working, snowboarding, drinking and getting that good warm feeling that only comes from being with family and old friends...so now onto the business at hand to get things in order for a powerful February. it appears that everything is coming together to get the business started and acquire my permit at this time. i'm more motivated and focused by setting simple goals so that will be the theme until time - business plan & permit...now back to unpacking, building the studio,catching up on everything, having happy dooD time and riding the moto - have a Saturday!

balance

y0 - into the the second week of the new year stuff has got me thinking about my goals for the year - some people call them resolutions, i call them goals, others call them plans...so thinking about some sage advice one of my best friends (Dean Parrish) told me quite awhile ago while we were blading down some hills about the perfection of a circle because it is perfectly balanced - we should all strive for balance in life. his advice really has stuck with me - so much so that i brought it up at his wedding as his best man during the speech and have no choice but to think about balance when riding my bike, moto or snowboard...but the other balance i need to work on is the life balance. i feel very fortunate to have so many great friends and options in life, but sometimes getting the right ratio of options into the equation is not one of my strong qualities. i think i tend to go for the extreme options like staying up all night playing guitar or forgetting to eat all day because of said guitar addiction...but i will practice the fine art of balance for 2009; that's the plan and i hope everyone finds the own balance.
