Love

A bunch of people wanted to read a topic about love. Instead of talking about kisses, hugs, birds and the bees, I want to talk about a different kind of love - passion (for those wanting to see something lovey-dovey, please refer to The Notebook). It's really rare to see two people have so much passion for each other. In all honesty, a person is usually passionate about a subject. For me, it's music. For others, it's artwork. For Pee Wee Herman, it's porn. Get my drift? Okay.

I strongly believe everybody who is happy in life has some sort of passion or some sort of reoccurring hobby. Many people in life want lots of money. That can be a passion. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with wanting a bunch of money. However, wanting and getting it are two different things. You can't just complain and say "blah blah blah Bill Gates is so lucky. Blah blah blah Steve got a VP job because of his parents." News flash! These people either worked really hard with their business to achieve their goals or used connections. There is nothing wrong with that. If you don't like using connections, have fun being a dreamer. Business is all about networking. Life is all about networking. You have friends, family, work, and playtime. Most of these things involve people.

Okay, I tend to ramble a lot but writing blogs help me clear my mind sometimes so deal with it. Back on subject. Passion. Love. Money.

Right now, if I had $5,000 at my disposal, my life would be a lot easier. So, I'll figure out a way to get it through what I love - music. Yeah, that might sound silly that an independent musician wants money. It's an oxymoron, right? Wrong. There are always ways to make money whether it's from CD sales, shows, prostitution, or doing marketing events for companies. All I know is that I'm so passionate about my music, and I'm SO passionate about my new album, Stepping Stones, because I know my true fans will buy it. They will allow me to keep doing my passion without letting the lack of money interfere with my life and goals. Every time I feel a sense of anxiety coming along because I might be living on the street begging for change, I remember that I wrote a song called "Why Worry?" for a reason. You will hear this song on Sunday on my Myspace by the way. Keep your eye on the prize. Take it day by day. Work hard. Believe in yourself. Love what you do. Good things will happen.

Pre-orders for my new album, Stepping Stones will be available starting on Sunday by clicking here!

Tell your friends. Spread the word. Spread the music, peace, and love.

Love,

T.J.
