Hey everyone. My buddy Chris G. just finished up a sequel to a popular game that was released last Halloween. This one is entitled “Reincarnation 2: Riley’s Out Again.” Its a cute point and click adventure game, don’t let the title mislead you. He was gracious enough to allow me to score for this game as well as the first. I’m inviting all of you to check it out here.

Also, there are ads INSIDE the game for the Kongregate website. I highly encourage you to click on one of the ads from INSIDE the game as it will help gain revenue…and we all know that’s a good thing. So, come support the game…and us. =P

“Where’s My Adventure?”

This was something I threw together in 30 min, just so I could say I wrote something today. It’s intended to sound like video game music, an old fashioned RPG to be exact. Anyway, thanks for the listen. Tell me whatcha think.

Lonely Night

I’m just sitting in from of my computer, no projects due, thinking. I don’t know where this will even go, but I want to just write for a bit. I’m not going to rant about how much I really don’t like how commercialized Easter is. When I have kids they will know that there is no Easter bunny. They will know that the sacrifice that Christ made and how he rose again. The world looks so forward to these breaks from the norm, stress, and monotony of their lives they have created by striving for the “American Dream, ” that they embrace anything that gives them a release. I’m not just picking on Easter. I feel the same way regarding Thanksgiving and Christmas too. But, like I said, I’m not going to rant about that…

I hate these feelings that just come out of the blue. The kinds where I don’t want to do anything, but at the same time I feel antsy. I’ve got plenty I could do, but nothing seems appealing…not even music. Even my favorite songs become filler music that helps pass the time.

I do thank God, though. I know that in the emptiness, He is still there. I pray that I, as well as those who have the same random feelings, have the strength to endure. This is good time for reflection. This is a good time to actually distance yourself and have a conversation with God. Maybe that is the reason things seem overly unappealing at times? Maybe my should knows I’m too distracted and that I need to have my Father talk, comfort, guide, and love me.

Goodnight.

“Your Destiny”

I wanted to share with you my latest track entitled, “Your Destiny.”

Close your eyes and imagine that you are in the moment where things just seem to fade away. The world doesn’t matter. All that matters is you and God. As your mind drifts you realize that this is who you are. You are child of God. This is your destiny.

That’s what I thought when writing it at least. Music, though, is awesome in that it means different things to different people. I’d love to hear what you think. By the way, it sounds soo much better through headphones.
