Social Experiment and a Good Old Fashioned Rant About Nothing by ryan on January 27th, 2009, 8:43 am

What is it that defines a good person? Or an evil person, for that matter. What is the value of a conscience? Does it make someone a decent person? What is being nice? Is it the same as being kind? I have a theory. In the pure extremities of perception of the world, pessimists say the world is a horrible place, everything sucks and everyone's to blame because we all suck, too. Optimists say the world is beautiful, there's joy in every person and we are surrounded by nothing but opportunity. Personally, I believe both sides of the coin are truths. We live in a world that I believe is falling apart, and most of us are probably making it worse. In first-world countries, we make victims out of ourselves through affluenza, and in third-world countries we're dying of causes that in the first-world, we'd shrug off and cure with a diabetes-inducing cheeseburger. The world and the people in it are full of pointless tragedies. Life sucks. And yet, I love life. I love this world. I'm getting to... [ Continued ]

It is enough by mlshiira on January 26th, 2009, 1:45 am

Sang on team today, mostly alto (or attempted to sing alto, anyway). Had one of the guitarists play out the chords for one of my songs during a break, so I could hear what it would sound like if a 'real' guitar player were to back me up (yes, it did sound much more like what I was hearing in my head than when I tried it). We got talking about music, and about our struggles in keeping diligent with practicing and creating and enjoying it. We found out we have a lot in common, really, and pledged to be praying for each other in this area. We made the half-joking promises to help each other out on our next demo CD. Though in times before I probably would have tried to make more of a commitment to work on music together, since it is already rare that I find someone who is interested in what I do, for now it is enough to have a fleeting help and encouraging conversation. If anything, it made me more committed to work on my music by myself, and so I even squeezed in some time for part of... [ Continued ]

Moving Forward by mlshiira on January 23rd, 2009, 1:43 am

This week I was blessed to find out a gal I wrote a song with early last year, who moved on to another church, is continuing with her songwriting journey. She has even started a creative arts group that meets in her home (I wish I could do that!). I am always happy when I hear about other people prospering in their art, though I am always still tempted to get jealous and try to rush my own process. It reminds me that I am not alone, that I am not some crazy person that thinks I can write some song that people will like. It reminds me that art is a collective process that we can share in together. And it reminds me that artists remain artists even if they move on to other endeavors; there is something about the heart of the artist that cannot be kept down for long. I have a seed of a song on my heart right now, born out of several scriptures with the same message. I do not know how long it will take to grow into a real song; perhaps up to a year; but I know it has potential. Perhaps... [ Continued ]
