Well we’re back. We had an amazing honeymoon and then we went to Sweden and I wrote some pop songs with some of their geniuses. I was a guest at a retreat called “Phrased Differently” and Lillie tagged along as general good-luck-charm and country consultant / wife coach. We had a great swedish adventure, and I came back with some cool country-pop-ish songs. I started listening to Shania Twain in the morning to get psyched up, like the way Ray Lewis watches Gladiator before a game. Also, I absolutely love the song “Chasing Pavements” by that Adele girl. She’s amazing. So we got back from both honeymoon and Sweden and came home to a sort of topsy-turvy house, but we managed to get things in place. iphone broke so I got a new one and a new laptop so there’s no excuse if I don’t update the blog frequently. Went to Jason’s studio today and the S.S. record is coming along great. We are almost done! I can’t believe but we’ve been working on the damn thing since November 07! So it’s coming up on 2 years which may not seems like a lot for some people but it feels like a long time to me. Anyway, nearing the finish line. There’s a couple more vocals to do, and a string part or 2. Think we are going with “Chateau Revenge” for the title. On other fronts, of course I’m married now, so it’s interesting how much I really like being married. Lillian proved on the honeymoon and the Sweden trip how she’s the perfect blend of characteristics to be a great partner and confidant. She’s encouraging, but also level-headed and supportive. She always has my back and will generally let me set the tone. She’s funny and confident, and believes in me when I don’t always believe in myself. She’s a great one to have in your corner. We have been married 3 weeks now, so I have lots of experience. Anyway. Everything is evolving and i’m just trying to concentrate on what kind of energy I vibrate with, and being conscious of the fact that the universe will always match my vibration. Also visualizing success in all endeavors. I think about that all day long. Been getting a lot of wisdom from the book “Ask and it is given”. Kind of a new age philosophy-type book, but very good!
