Banana bread...

...is one of the best smells on the planet. I just made some, and my whole house smells amazing. I think I'll bake some every day just to keep that scent in my living room...

Thought I'd blog because I almost never do. Although it would be a good and fun habit to get into. I used to write all the time...of course, that was when I was sitting at a desk all day hating my job...

And now that I'm blissfully (and brokefully...is that a word?) pursuing music - and have a wonderful little retail career to keep a roof over my head - I am not so inclined to write as much as I used to. Trust me, it's not that I want times to be tougher...I am certainly enjoying life as it is...I guess I'm just struggling with not struggling, for once...

I feel like that's what drives artists. That's what makes us question life, and love, and ourselves, and our purpose...that struggle. The struggle to achieve, to know, to become better at the things we want to do with our lives...

That's what forces us to look at the world and want to know more. To want to take it in, process it, and turn it into our art...that struggle for strength and knowledge, not only of what's around us, but also what's inside of us. I think someone once said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." Is that right? Well, if no one said it, then I just did.

Someone also said, "A life without knowledge is death in disguise."

Word.
