Well, where do I begin?, let me see... I am at a crossroads of my life and
with my 50th birthday approaching I am very inverted at the moment about
where I am in life and what I have achieved. The last time I got this way
was around my 40th. Do you all see a trend?, I certainly do, and as I wrote
my songs for my album 'Finally Here?' in 2000, I thought I was where I
finally needed to be.
Here's the kicker, I was!. A combination of depression, a loss of faith in
humanity in general, and a liberal dose of ADD combined, have driven me from
the one thing I am actually good (great?) at. I am folding all output on the
failed Island of Fredian project into a bundle and throwing it away for
good. I think my desire to pursue that was driven too largely by my sinking
time into first EQ2 then into WoW, in an effort to run away from my
inability to achieve anything in real life.
I believe fervently that MMOs are a waste of valuable time and in no way can
ever be pursued in a TRULY casual way, and my goal WAS to remove people from
that. This doesn't mean I think having a game to play when you having
nothing better to do is bad, I just think that when it becomes too
consuming, it's time to step back.
Anyway, I have recently moved the studio software over to the IMac we have
and upgraded to Logic Pro 9, bought a MOTU traveler Mk3 firewire studio
interface and rewired the studio as necessary to make use of it all. I am
not sure how I will get all this out there even with all the options
provided by the NET, but it's where it all is.
I want to thank you all for your love and support respectively, and I am
sorry I tend to climb back into my hole when I get like this. I hope for
your support to help me move my music out in the world as it should have
been done a decade ago, instead of sitting on a shelf still.
I have already made movement and I am keeping a blog at makzimia.blogspot.com. I also have started uploading more songs to hear at youtube.com/makzimia. I would appreciate those of you who feel they can, go check them out.
I love the support I gained over the years and I will hold those memories in my heart forever, but the truth is, I am not capable of this sort of thing on my own.
