YES! It’s that time again! I have a brand new track ready for you. This one is called “LIFE’S LABRYNTH”. This one is somewhat personal for me. I came up with the beat one Sunday when I was sitting in church. I literally heard this song in my head, and after church, went straight home and created most of the beat for this song. Usually, I don’t make music on Sunday, but I felt inspired with this one.The lyrics are even more personal for me. As you may or may not know, I have been going through a divorce.  It has been a truly tragic and heart-wrenching experience. But it has been such an experience for me for almost a decade now. The lyrics were actually written about 6 years ago. They describe the challenge we all face of sticking with something you feel like you’re supposed to do out of duty, or jumping ship while you still can. This was my ongoing struggle for years in a very difficult marriage. It is the struggle many face with today’s economy as well. Do I keep paying my house payment on a house that’s losing value? Or do I jump ship now while I still can? Do I leave my retirement money in the stock market that is unpredictable and losing money on a consistent basis, or do I jump ship while I can? It is a question we all face at some point in our lives regarding very important issues. Marriage. Family. Money. Employment. Love. Friends. Business. Life. It’s a labrynth that we’re all trying to find our way through. Hope you enjoy Life’s Labrynth.As always, you can download the track here on my website, or on iTunes, Amazon, etc.

Ok – I’m gonna catch heat for this from the fellas, but wutevers.  I’m gonna break down why I find The Bachelor so intriguing, especially this recent season with Jake.   So the battle came down to Vienna and Tenley.  EVERY single female I know HATED Vienna and loved Tenley.  Even the women on the show hated Vienna!  Why?  For the most part, why do most women hate Vienna and love Tenley?  Why is that so consistent?  Do a twitter search for #vienna (ok I admit it! I have a problem! I have actually done that. I need a support group or something) and you will see the vast majority of comments are freeking HARSH against Vienna.  But again– WHY?  Read on to hear my 2 cents

The recession will never end.  Watching This Week with George Stephanopolous the other day, there was a panel of economists, political analysts, etc. (one of them was George Will).  They were discussing the economy and what the future holds.  Essentially, they all agreed the ONLY way for the American economy to get back to the way it has been the past 10-15 years, is for Americans to spend.  70% of the American economy is based on spending.  Glenn Beck has also discussed this statistic.  The problem is that 1 out of 10 Americans is now unemployed.  Spending is not an option for them.  For the other 9 out of 10 Americans with jobs, spending is how we got into this mess in the first place.  Buying houses with adjustable ARM rates we couldn’t afford when the ARM rates went up, buying houses for investments that never panned out and having to foreclose on them.  Spending is NOT in the best interest of the American citizen now.  So there is a paradox we have on our hands.

Here is what I predict will happen.  The unemployment rate will NEVER go back to the low 4% range as it has been during the Bush years.  It will ALWAYS remain at about 10% (it is just below 9% now.)  This will become extremely frustrating for Americans who have become accustomed to having no problems finding a job.  People with college degrees and plenty of experience will not be able to find work.  This will result in extreme frustration with the government and we will see strikes and riots on a more regular basis, (as there is in many European countries, such as France and more recently Greece for these exact reasons.)  Unfortunately, the current administration in the white house feels that more government is how we solve these problems.  This is an extreme falsehood that has been proven not to work many, many times over the course of human history.  The only thing that can help America, and the world, climb out of this recession is going back to the basic principles outlined by our forefathers in the U.S. Constitution.  In order to do that, we must elect sound, honest men and women to government offices.  In order to do that, we must LEARN and become EDUCATED on the Constitution and the teachings of our forefathers.  That is the answer.  When we become aware of the principles this country was founded upon, we, the people ,will solve these economic problems.  Not more government programs.

Well I been working hard to finish up my new album “Equations” and I am happy to say thanks to my mans Scott Allen– it is just about finished! I still have a few hooks to write to, but Scott helped me come up with a SICK hook for the beat Pac0naut made for me. Anyways– I posted some of the new songs in the “media” and “store” section- so check em out.

Last night I was watching this biography about John McCain. I voted for Mitt Romney in the primaries here in AZ. I didn’t totally hate John McCain- I actually liked him the most at first- but as I learned more about the issues, I didn’t support him at all. Needless to say, after watching the biography of John McCain- I was completely turned off towards him and the life he has led. Yes- him being a POW was unbelievable and utterly amazing. I respect his service he gave to his country. It was un-matchable. However, I also look at a candidates moral values and how they let those moral values guide their life.

So I rarely rarely rarely watch American Idol. But tonight my wife was watching it while I was working on the design for this blog site on my laptop. I got a chance to see some of the performances, including this kid named David Archuleta. It was freeking moving man. It was mad inspirational. This kid is unbelievable. He sang that John Lennon song “Imagine”. And it seriously made me feel the spirit of the Lord. I was sitting there wondering why this performance had such a different impact on me.After some pondering about it, I think I kinda realized why. Read the rest of this entry »

I did some re-vamping of the site finally. Made it a bit more modernized, a lot more interesting, and much more useful. I am still working on the layout design and will be getting that more complete once my laptop battery I ordered comes in (the power cord got fried– well actually.. frayed haha) so I can’t access any of my graphic programs until that comes in. Till then… welcome to the new ARHYTHMATIK.COM
