The first entry of the New Year, and I have nothing to write about... I just woke up and have this terrible need to write something. Perhaps it is just in the spirit of new beginnings and such, Everyone else is making resolutions and talking about change, including myself. I already wrote about change. Multiple times even! So why am I drawn to this page with my hands on the keyboard at the ready?
I wrote that top part and took a break... I listened to my current favorite band, The National, and thought for a bit.
I find it interesting that as the sun rises on new years day we look for immediate change, we expect something new and exciting to happen right away. One year ago today I marched in the nations longest famous parade, Pasadena's Tournament of Roses Parade. We played 'A Brand New Day'. It was one of the most exciting and memorable days of my life. I had my big excitement last year. Not every moment of my life is going to be exciting or unexpected. We have to accept the monotony and predictable day-to-day we are all going to have in our lives. Exciting change is good for us, but sometimes we need to slow down and enjoy the comfort of the norm. Regardless of the day that is so similar to yesterday and tomorrow, it still is a brand new day. Yeah I did it, I made a lyrical reference, what more would you expect than my comforting predictable way of writing?
