So...another year has come and (almost) gone. Is it just me or did most of 2008 kinda breeze through? Sure, there were moments when it felt like the year would NEVER end. or at least for me anyway, but for the most part I thought it kinda went by pretty quick. And as with most people, I find myself looking back on past events as we wind down the clock towards 2009 and find myself hoping that for the most part the next year will be a little bit better. Now I'm sure all of us do this. We all have things that we want to be better for us and our family and friends when the new year begins. Me? It's pretty simple. Stability, honesty and commitment. To myself and to others as well.
As most of you know, with my band schedule it was hard for me to spend the time I needed to with Christian. As he gets older (he just turned 5 in Spetember) I feel like I've missed out on so much of his life already that I don't want to miss anything else. He's grown up so fast. It's still crazy to think that I have a 5 year old son. Well, I've worked out a schedule with my band that will change the time I get to spend with him. Starting in January, I'll have him every other weekend. Although this will leave me cutting out some gigs and with a little less extra cash in my pocket, the important thing is I get to spend more time with my son, which in the long run pays better than any gig I could pick up. And the guys in the band have even offered to pick up some shows during the week to make up for any shows we can't do when I'm with Christian. They've gone above and beyond on this without me even having to ask. They're a great group of guys and I'm very happy to call them my friends.
Like I was saying. Stability, honesty and commitment.
There are also other areas I'd like to work on as well that deals with the big 3, but that's a topic for another time perhaps, depending on if I want to open that particular Pandora's Box. So, I hope everyone has a great holiday and may 2009 bring us everything we want and more. I know I've got my fingers crossed.

I am so glad that you have made it back to the blog world! I am also really really happy that you are going to be spending more time with Christian! That is something you will definitely not regret! Oh, that Pandora's Box you were afraid to open, be afraid... be very very afraid! Ha. Hopefully 2009 will be a better year for all!
