Sigh

Today, I attempted to be productive. Take note of the word attempted, because I failed miserably. And as usual, allowed myself to get side tracked and distracted. Although the genuine desire is in me, I lack the ability to follow through. And thus the entry title of Sigh. 

I'm interested to find out exactly what it will take for me to finally stop allowing all the distractions to... well, distract me. Cause once I know, maybe then I'll finally be able to produce results. But that's a pretty lame excuse. 

In around 15 short minutes, my regular long weekend will commence. I'm going out of town, so maybe then I can get my head straight once and for all. If not, then well, at least I've got my lap top and my internet. Let the distractions begin! I'm kidding. I hope. Sigh.

Anyway, this is a distraction. So I'm going to leave now. Have a good weekend. Good bye. 

Wow

One of my favorite things to do when I'm online is to check out Jason Mraz's blog (freshnessfactorfivethousand.blogspot.com). He's an amazing writer, and I always find myself inspired after I read his entries. And if not inspired, then definitely entertained.

On one of my routine update checks, I come across his latest entry where he has a behind the scenes video for a song he does for the album "Amazon Tribes - Songs For Survival".  And I heard this new voice for the first time, and the first thing that came into my head was, "who is that?". I needed to find out because his voice hit me and affected me in a way that very few singers are able to do. 

Brett Dennen (myspace.com/brettdennen). Incredible.

Every once in a while, I fall into a certain mood where I feel inspired to do things to change myself for the better. To be a better person. To help heal the world. To do something meaningful with the life that I was given. To give up all the superficial material things that we feel we need to actually be happy. 

I try to hold on to this mood for as long as I can, because once I lose it, I go back to living my routine lifestyle which I am not content with. And when I'm in this mood, I feel more myself. I feel like I have a bigger purpose. It may sound cheesy, I know, but I find it incredibly interesting. Mostly because I'm young and still trying to find my purpose in life. 

Anyway, that's all I'm going to babble about today. Yay for weekends!
