Today is one of those days when I actually have a lot of things to do, and yet I can't seem to get started on any of it. What happens to me in these situations is not necessarily a result of me being overwhelmed. In fact, it's kind of the opposite. I am genuinely excited about the work that I have to do. But I am just not sure where to start. Most of the projects have a deadline that's not for a couple weeks or so, and I am not sure which is the most pressing/what needs to be done first.
I think this might be a remnant of college life in that since the deadlines are not pressing yet, I'm having a hard time feeling the urgency of doing the work. Then, once the deadlines are vigorously upon me, I will suddenly feel the urgency and work like a mad man to get it all done.
SO instead of sitting down and doing these items one at a time, my natural inclination is to pace around my house (which is not very big), find random odd jobs to do, eat food, sit and stare out my window at the squirrel that lives in the tree outside, or anything else other than the work set in front of me.
Crazy. Insane in the membrane. PROCRASTINATOR.
This is definitely something I need to work on. I know that I feel so much better about my day when I can say that I have achieved something substantial without stress. And in the long run I'll feel better because I won't be stressed out once the deadlines are here. I need to fix this stat.
I suppose I will go be productive then.
Ch-ch-changes!

News: Update
Hello everyone!
I collaborated with a Nashville filmmaker, Inni Winberry, on her project for the Sigur Rós Valtari film competition. Since the contest was to create a film for Sigur Rós original song, I obviously did not score any music. I did however act as the Music Consultant and helped with the syncing of the video with the song.
Here is the link to vote (click Support Inni)
Aside from the publicity generated from this contest, she might also have a chance to win a $5000 cash prize which would be shared among everyone involved in the making of the film (that includes me) :)
This is a beautiful work and I would love for you to enjoy it and show your support.
PEACE!

New Season
Welcome!
This is my new blog. This is the place where I will share with you my experiences, my thoughts, and my beliefs. And whatever else I feel like sharing. Believe it or not, I do occasionally think about things! (Surprising, I know.)
I have tried to sustain a blog at least three separate times in my life. This is generally the course of events:
1. Start a blog. Woo excited!
2. Write deep and emotional thoughts and feelings about my life for about a week
3. Procrastinate
4. Post only clips of music or little snippets of poetry every two months or so
5. Forget about the whole venture entirely for a couple of years
(Luckily for me, Blogger will delete your blog if you have been inactive for over three years.)
This pattern holds true for journals and notebooks as well. I'm captivated by the idea of actually sitting down, capturing my thoughts, and putting them into writing, but I get so easily consumed by all the little things in my everyday life that I usually do not give myself time to reflect or think. For the last 5 years of my life, I lived in a world so packed with learning, practicing, working, socializing, and growing that I nary had time to sleep let alone actually sit down and think!
And yet, every so often I get the writing and thinking bug. These instances are usually the result of some major change in my life. Something that requires more thought than the few solitary moments before sleep or whilst seated on a certain porcelain chair. The idea is that those thoughts will go here, fully thought-out and eloquently realized through the beauty of the internet and supported by years of education in writing and vocabulary. (or they may just end up being a rambling account of my mundane daily activities--who's to say, really).
Either way, the title of this blog, "Seasons of Change," is a reflection of the fact that I am in a time in my life where things are constantly changing. For the better mostly, but occasionally for the worse. Currently, it is all for the better. Really seriously, lots of great things have been happening in my life. BUT we are not going to get into that tonight because it is already 1:37 AM and I am tired. Speaking of change though, as I have been typing this post, my seat has gone from this:
SO here we are again, internet-blogger-world. A new blog, a new season, a new Tim. Let's do this.

Not even a joke, my computer chair actually dips and sinks of its own accord until I feel like a small child sitting at the adult table at Thanksgiving who can't reach the mashed potatoes.
