Transitions of the mind

Well this new blog is turning out to be partly an update on my projects but also reflections of my current state of mind. That said, as I look back upon February, I can see a lot of change in how I make decisions and my overall view of things. Some old habits remain, but they are in transition. Some views and behaviors which I thought were hardwired in me, turn out to be more flexible than I thought. I've taken up on the advise of a close friend of mine: enjoy the moment, let go of expectations. With new opportunities, I'm starting to appreciate this. Why should I follow old traditional patterns when I can take advantage of my freedom? Maybe it was fear which held me back, fear of getting hurt or becoming too involved. People commit to jobs, relationships, hobbies, passions... I've decided to commit to my art and nothing else now (ok, my job as well, but that's a given) This takes away a huge weight off my shoulders. I can enjoy opportunities that come along without any deeper expectations and truly open my mind to new experiences. But don't worry, I won't go all hippy on you!
So speaking of art, I'm involved in a few collaborative projects but I manage to get my own projects going as well. I even have help getting my own things done, fortunately.
Since PsychoHunter vs Zombie Commandos From Hell! is coming out this spring, I've set the wheels in motion for a launch party. So far I have 2 live artists for music and some options for visuals but I still need to find a good venue, preferably a gallery which could allow for sound setup and serve booze. More on this as it develops.
Until then, let's embrace this beautifull month of March :)
