ALBUM

     Okay, okay, I know that I went on a righteous rant about how I was going to be posting more regularly.  And clearly I've have an idealistic streak in me that won't quiet down.  But the truth of the matter is that I don't really have a computer of my own with internet access at the moment... So  the whole 'regular post' thing has turned out to be more difficult than I thought.
     But as a quick update - we are in the final stages of finishing our first full-length album!!!!!!  This Thursday will be the final day of mixing, and then this puppy will be mastered!!!!  No exact date for the release yet... but stay tuned as we have several surprises coming your way.  I'm talkin' songs you've never heard, sounds you've never heard, voices... and an even bigger mind-blower of an announcement comin' your way.  We have so many amazing artists collaborating with us on this project, and as soon as the album is wrapped up, I will be able to give you a proper list, so that you can check out their other awesome work.  But to the as-of-yet-unnamed:  THANK YOU!
     All in all, June has been a wild month.  I have had family celebrations, gatherings, deaths, and an album to finish throughout all of it.  Mostly though, it has made me to feel grateful for everyone that I know, and everything that I have, as well as everything that I hope to do.  I swear, if you guys could get in my mind, and know everything that I hope to be able to give you... Well then I suppose it wouldn't be much of a surprise, but you would know of the extent of my love that I have for the art of creation, in all of the forms that it takes.

Much love to all,
-Dion Vox

keepin' on

     Well, the road to hell may be paved with good intentions... but I would like to think that so is the road to heaven.  The Blog and I... an unlikely pair, and yet meant for each other.  I actually think that once I get into the habit of blogging, there will be no stopping me.  But habits take some acquiring, and that has been my modus  operandi  as of late:  trying to acquire new habits.
     I have lived my whole life pushing myself to my limits.  Lovely growth has occurred in such an environment, but also some monumental crashes and failures.  It all goes hand in hand I suppose.  However, for the first time in my tender young life, I can feel myself aging.  Rather, I'm not sure that I could do some of the things that I used to.  Where the hell did I get that energy?  I still pride myself in my current work ethic... until I look at my old work ethics that I have had in the past.  There was A LOT more energy wasted, or misplaced, or exhausted.  But it was still there.  Now I would like to think that I am a little more discerning with my energy, but it is starting to appear more finite to me (or perhaps time really is just speeding up, as I also suspect!).
     So in recognition this limitation that I have discovered, I am trying to get my behind back in gear.  New habits, new health, and then hopefully - new energy.  In short:  forgive my while I stumble and bumble about a bit as I try to get this train rolling at top speed.  I have never done it on purpose before.  And things are always harder when they are meant to be.
