For those of you that know me… know that i’m about to move to asia… hopefully Taiwan and Korea before spending the next perhaps-year in japan… as many of you know I am nikkei (japanese descendant) and i think it will be good to explore my cultural (and linguistic because my japanese has gotten pretty bad) roots… so i think it’s going to be a crazy journey but before i can go… i have a list of goals to meet!
It looks like i will be delaying my departure until april now…
the great news is that there will be less time dealing with unfocussed venture and more time for something i love… production!
One exciting project… well i’m certainly excited… it that i have a very short time to write a song!!
Now, you’ll have to forgive my rustyness… i used to play/write music in 1997-1999 but it’s been soo long…
Maybe my wonderful talented friend zizi will lend some of her amazing musical talent and help me out? ^__^
but it’s certainly going to be an adventure
To everyone’s who’s supported me… thanks! I appreciate it!
And best of luck and wishes to everyone in the current endevours and aspirations!
never give up on your dreams!
it’s better to rush headlong in persuit of your dreams than to never risk and never accomplish anything…
here’s to the next six weeks and the years to follow!
