Today is my birthday.  I like birthdays, mostly because I enjoy being the center of attention and because of all of the presents.  This year feels a bit different though, because I feel like in a lot of ways I am really getting comfortable with who I am and what I’m about.

I’m comfortable in my own skin and feeling like I understand my calling, my passions and my gifts a little better than last year.  All in all, I think I might be maturing.  Don’t get me wrong, I understand that some of you may be thinking that I’m still a punk kid with wholes in my jeans, out of control hair and that I use a capo way too much, and you’d be right, I suppose.  I’m just saying that with each passing year I feel like I’m growing a bit more rather than regressing, which I guess is the goal.

So what’s in store for my 27th year?

Africa in 4 stinkin’ days, plugging away at song writing and trying to get better, a little gigin’, a little recording and loving people.  All in all, it looks like 27 is going to be a sweet year for me!
