Day 16 of 365-Pt.2: 3A.M.
My wife tells me there is something special about 3am. For lack of myself I honestly can’t recall exactly what it was at the moment, I’m just glad I wasn’t scheduled to work the bays this morning. For me I suppose there is something special about that particular hour thou. Even surrounded by my kin in this little house of ours, at 3am I am very alone. Free to my thoughts, and my drives. There is clarity in that hour. Whether or not that is a good thing often depends on what the thoughts are that keep me awake. Tonight. I suppose tonight I was contemplating just about everything.
This decade has been one hell of a roller coaster ride, hasn’t it. Come to think of it, this year alone has been something of an aw inspiring “what the f***?” for me. It’s end drawing near, this year delivered nothing short of a prodigiously epic and adverse grand finale. I’d started right out of the gate with Marley’s distressing arrival last January, and I’ve been going full tilt ever since. There had been my original 365 challenge. I’d finished up last April having only missed three days in all. A small accomplishment, but an accomplishment none the less. I’ve reunited with old friends I thought I would never hear from again, said good bye to others and written the final bitter chapter of my life revolving around my oldest daughters estranged biological mother. After working on it nearly half my life I finally finished Syndicate, and now it would seem in a sense I have to rewrite the entire thing over again. Not a bad thought there. Nope. Once I’ve acquainted myself with the terrain, it’s going to be written into a grid script format, so it can be produced into a graphic novel series. Yeah, you read that right. I’ve partnered up with a small local company that is taking Syndicate public. There interest in seeing FOF, as well. I don’t mind saying I’m very excited about that…If I ever finish it. And after waiting six years ANR’s, one and only professionally recorded album is finally reaching completion. The album will never go public, but none of us have ever felt right about just walking away from the project after putting as much time, effort, energy, and money into it as we did. The mastering should be completed within the next week. Something I’ll undoubtedly be sharing here once I have it in hand.
A vast unexplored and often unfriendly sea we’ve traveled this year, filled with mind boggling ups and soul stirring lows. I feel that I’ve not only learned a great deal about myself, but in many aspects I’ve grown a great deal as well. It has most certainly been a year I will never forget.
