I’m still alive

Yes! I’m still here. I’ve just been spending my time on a number of other things. In the internet world, I’ve forwarded my site (djdindak.com) to my djdindak wordpress for now, since I’ve been too lazy to make an actual website. In the life… world, I just received a promotion at work, and school is, well, chugging along at its best. I celebrated my first year with Maya last month, and that some oh so special This girl is seriously amazing. I couldn’t be happier.

Much love, internets,

New DJ Dindak blog/site

I’ve created a new blog post to manage the djdindak.com domain for now. I’m almost finished with page descriptions, and I’ve already added episode 1 and 2 track lists.
I’ll be auto-fowarding djdindak.com to the wordpress blog until I can get a respectable site put together.

So many things to do…

Galvanize

I just have to say, this new year has certainly brought upon some good changes and new beginnings. The simple things are exciting me again, and I never thought they would. I’m realizing old complications are trivial and live is becoming more enjoyable. I can finally breath easily.

P.S.- Check this out, and head due east while keeping an eye on the scuba men.

Well, I guess it’s a new year

I haven’t been in a writing mood for a while, and I can’t say that I’m in one right now. I stopped by my blog to update my calendar page with this spring’s schedule, and I felt it would be gentlemanly to drop an obligatory post on here as well.

My classes started last week, and I’m particularly excited about the piano and guitar sessions I’m signed up for. Hopefully I’ll actually gain some knowledge about music versus my usual pecking at the keyboard to come up with something that sounds good. My goal is to get back into real music again, and start playing somewhere on a consistent basis. Whether in my studio, at church, or on a park bench somewhere. It’s only been a week, and I’m eating up all the music my teachers have given me.

As for the rest of my classes, they’re just some standard prerequisites I need for my major specific classes. This semester is makeup for the classes I need since changing majors; I threw the music classes in there to retain some sanity during my 18 hours of class and 40 hours of work a week.

Pertaining to work, my yearly review is coming up in February and I’m hoping to jump on salary there. That’ll require some weekend responsibilities once a month, but would hopefully come with a pay increase.

The dawn of this new year looks bright, and I’m hoping to accomplish a lot of goals that have been in place for a while.

I hope you all find yourself where you’re valued and surrounded by people who truly care. I’m seeing the importance of this more and more every year.

P.S. Try to catch “The Book of Eli” when you get the chance… fantastic movie.

Let it Snow,

Let it snow,
Let it snow.

Merry Christmas everyone. I’m glad Dallas received a little glimpse of winter on this eve…

<I find myself in a better state of mind than the previous year’s>

Assumptions

‘Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won’t come in.’
-Alan Alda

I’m going back to where I started, back to who I used to be.

These assumptions are unhealthy.

I need the light again.

Electronic Spectrum podcast online

This podcast I’ve been constructing the past few weeks is finally online! Download it from itunes at this link, and please let me know your thoughts on it! I have much bigger plans for the track  programming and audience interaction, but this is a pretty solid first start I think

djdindak.com should be online sometime soon as well.

Stay tuned,

“My Saving Grace” – ATB feat. Aruna

Listen Here
If I go, would you wait? Would you wander
Would you know what I’m thinking and why I’m ashamed
Of the girl I am and the stranger that I became
Hold tight to the heart of an angel you’ll never know
Cuz her face looks more like mine
And it keeps you going just knowing I’m here tonight

So let me fall, let me love you
Let me free your inner child
Let me sit inside your silence
Let me ease the hurt you hide
Cuz I’m alive, I’m unlucky
I’m a line too fine to trace
But I could be your consolation
If you’d be my saving grace

My wild world is the shape of a sound that can’t be heard
But it rings when I’m unraveled by you
There’s a quiet storm and my skin gets torn and I wake brand new
Higher and brighter than yesterday
But I’m still a dark, mysterious night
When the sun descends and the moon leads you to my side

So let me fall, let me love you
Let me free your inner child
Let me sit inside your silence
Let me ease the hurt you hide
Cuz I’m alive, I’m unlucky
I’m a line too fine to trace
But I could be your consolation
If you’d be my saving grace

Just reach into the heart of you
Is as simple and true as the love you inspire in me
So let me fall

All I wanna do is reach into the heart of you
All I wanna be is as simple and true as the love you inspire ïn me
So let me fall, let me fall
