How I've been feeling for the longest time

I've been reading Fountainhead and I don't like it

Ellsworth Toohey: "Just why are you unhappy my dear?"
Catherine:"I don't know. I can't understand it. For instance, it was I who arranged to have the classes in prenatal care down at the Clifford House-it was my idea-I …

To Start...

Here is a blog.

Its a little early... but I thought you should know

Hey friends,
The Christmas record was started this past weekend! I know its only September but hey we got a lot of work to do. The ideas being brought to the recording process are really cool this time. We are all very excited to share with you what we come up with. …

Recording Session 2/Time

Recording
We went back into the studio this past weekend. It certainly wasn't as productive as the first weekend but we got some crucial things done, including kevin's horn part (well for one song at least). I've been thinking about all of us learning to play a little …

5 Songs/Job

5 Songs
Recording is progressing slowly. We have 5 songs that are almost finished, with a possible secret 6th. I think we are all really looking forward to releasing the Christmas recordings. We still have yet to think of a name but i'm sure it will come. Here is to a …

A Quick Session/God

Friends,

A recording session was planned rather quickly this weekend, but it went better then we could have hoped for. Some of the Hudson Branch guys (well one, not including us Jadiid members in the band), a mr. cobey bienert came along to start on some of their songs …

Kevin's Art

Hey friends, here is some art by Kevin Sparks, he is the most recent addition to Jadiid. We like having him.

I'll get him to explain these sometime... or maybe one isn't supposed to know. Who can tell right.

Anyway enjoy

Creativity

Reading a book right now titled The Fountainhead written by Ayn Rand

I enjoy creativity, and more importantly I find that it is a very necessary thing for human life in all aspects spirtual, physical, mental, etc...
This book has challenged much of what I thought …

Cover Art

The cover for our new Christmas record. As some of you may know (and some not) we are releasing this album digitally for free on our website on december 9th.

However, by a number of requests we have decided to make a hard copy of it as well which will be ready by …

Rachael and Snow

One time me and some friends were in New York and through some fortunate circumstances we found ourselves watching a video to a Rachael Yamagata song called Elephants... beautiful song.

This video however was one of the more inspiring things i have seen. Here is the …

Done With This

I'm not sure I ever want to make an album again

Ok I digress, this has been the longest "quick project" i've been apart of. If its not one thing its another ya know.

It coming to end though. Tonight Enoch and I make our final mix and then we will let this go out there …

We are writing and we are voting

We've been writing guys... alot. Lots of new songs and old ones. The plans are hopefully to start a record of these writings in early march, but you know how things get. Hopefully we prioritize what is important. Aside from that we have started playing numerous …

Why not

why not live for things that don't let you down...

like music
or people you trust... i mean really trust
or God... although He seems to let me down all the time, or maybe thats me letting myself down, thinking its God

why not give what you have

llke …

we journey together

I've been living for 3 months out of college now and the transition is what i expected. I don't transition well. Losing the people you do life with for 3 years is something i don't find easy... despite their extravagant ease at it. A brief overview of my life for the …

what language

give me something that makes me blind
like at night when the sky makes me blind, except for those little white dots.
i wonder what those mean. i don't speak whatever language they do, but it sure does make sense

If all we gave was ourselves

Trust me, if you sit in one place for to long things will start to look dim. Yet for some reason we are all called to be where we are at. For much of life I feel like I'm searching for the ultimate goal. If I could just be doing this or that, then i would be …

I give it to you

Its a bit scary giving you guys my music but i must let go sometime. I feel like i could do about a thousand more things to these songs but thing they were made for was to be listened to. Beside there is much more music to write and create. So here they are. The ep …

New

To all my friends i am not with but hope to see again...

I graduated college. I had to leave a place I love and start some kind of new life. 3 years ago when i began my Greenville life no one told me that the end would come. I know it sounds stupid but I guess I …
