Insomnia and Endings
My free time, of late, has been spent absorbed in books. Most have centered around Stephen King’s epic Dark Tower Series. There’s something very essential and brave about a storyteller who’s willing to go “all-in” with his work and put it out into the world, for better or worse.
It’s this feeling that each page is written with the deepest conviction and desire to convey a larger concept and/or belief system to an audience that has enveloped my conscious mind, while greedily plowing through stacks of fictional tomes.

As the final moments of LOST began sinking into my perceptive mind, I once again found myself overwhelmed by what I found to be a compelling and ultimately elegant artistic statement. Here is a show that was completely unafraid of presenting itself and it’s ideas in it’s own way. While many mysteries remain unanswered (all the better, in my opinion), the central idea of the story: Love and connections between people, shone bright and strong.
Once again, I find myself staring at blank pages and new audio file Garageband projects. I can’t help wondering how these emotional experiences will translate themselves into original work. I suppose, if I’m learning anything by these obsessive tirades, it’s that what’s most important is moving forward.
