Hi everyone,

It's been some months since I was last here and active.

How is everyone?

I suppose I'll use this opportunity to speak of myself. Very selfish, I know.

I dumped music. I rarely listen to it anymore. That's why my presence has not been here at all for some time. Music wasn't making me happy. The song always stops.

I started studying religion a little bit. Read the Bible, read the Qur'an, spoke with Pastors, spoke with Priests. The books always end and the words always fade.

I'm listening to the Endless Summer right now in tribute to coming back to this board for a few minutes. It's nice. Feels nice and warm returning to this.

I've never had a better time to say it than now: "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."

As Carl Wilson said in his final days;  "Music is Spirit".

I'm not sure what that meant to him personally but certain music touches me deeply, causing me to feel deeply, which is something I don't often allow myself.  It touches some spot that is not easily intellectualized or rationalized away.
