Here's a tool i found to help you fellow guitar players: has nothing to do with being bipolar : )

hello- I can't sleep

1 out of 5 pucks

Only manic insomneia of epic porportions would drive me to blog again. I have slept for 2 hours tonight (coming on 4:39am!) and am fucking bipolar and stressing out over my sister in the hospital (3 week mental break own...my twin...it does not look goood) and just the shitty news that our "home" will be such for 4 years until our Landlord kicks us out and moves back in. I just hate being transient. I hate--no ---WE hate not owning our own house. And we are doing such a fucking good job of fixing everything up, the landlord can't wait to retire here and move back!!
ahh fuck. I need to pray and relax and ask the only One who can help me to still my heart and pour out love and grace.

Here's the CBC Video blog

Father thanks for creating me to work with kids and share your heart! I love you and are grateful for your goodness towards me. All glory is yours. amen

The CBC Calgary Living taping went well. Above is a pic of me making music with the young uns.

I have a huge day tomorrow (4 concerts and a workshop) so I'll finish this post later.

Jesus thanks for all your help!

Home & Happy again plus CBC TV here we come

4 out of 5 pucks

Well I seem to have hit the stratosphere again in a mere week:

We have a new home to move into in Woodbine which is a way nicer Townhouse than the crappy one we presently reside in---and it is cheaper---yaaay!

CBC TV's "Living Calgary" will be filming us on Friday and we are excited, nervous yet super pumped. Don't crash now! Gonna lock that BP Dragon up with as much salmon oil, lithium and good sleep that I can muster! Plus Weewelcome.ca has us booked for a 100 kids show at Stephen Avenue Art Gallery Downtown. They also want to advertise us nationally! so our heads are spinning and we are glad GOd is blessing this so much.

Only downer is I'm on day 5 of a bad cold, but oil of oregeno is doing wonders....and burning up my taste buds all the same...*sigh*

Thank you GOd, we worship and thank you for everything. Everything good is from your hands!AMen

Bipolar Dragon 1, Canuck 0

Freaky dragon eh? Fear not I have a tendency to over-exagerrate when I am bp cycling...

True Believers I am stresssssed!
The BP Dragon is being held at bay by the repeated bashing of my shield of perpetual anxiety. I nay say I know the future and BP Dragon is using that as his offensive. I emotionally bleed freely at the moment.

We gave our months notice and are uncertain of where my young family shall reside in next.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Oh well stay tuned folks and 'hang onto your fuk'in hats!"

God hear me
God help me
God house me and my family in something we can afford.

The balance of rest & work

2.6 out of 5 pucks

I know it doesn't look like work to some, but that's a pic of me at "work": leading music for little kids. I really enjoy it! This is the best job I have ever had and I am glad to be a home business. But I do still get tired. I still get drained.
Today I was a little "knackered" as the british say. I had to get back to my "recharging station" known as my bed for 2 extra naps today....giving me 12 hours sleep. Incredibly refreshing and totally needed. This keeps the "bipolar dragon" at bay. I get super grumpy and then God has given me "an indicator" with this vacant exhausted stare. I try to hide this "battle-weary look" but my wife has a great radar and she will take me by force if necessary to my "recharging chamber"




It is great that she does that. I love her and rely on her as my secret weapon against Bipolar Dragons as she has that "lance of restfulness" that is always vigilant to attack and defend for me.

Father thanks for my lovely wife and for helping me balance out my bipolar. Please continue to give me rest and peace in Jesus name.

Ok----here's my Dad

4 out of 5 pucks

SO as I write this I am having a "chat" with my dad in Indonesia thanks to the wonder of gmail.
He got married a couple months ago and just mentioned to me now that my new MiL is named Ela and she is a radio broadcaster.

Nice!

Dysfunctional family? absolutely! Do i think my bipolar may be in part due to the craziness coming from his side of the gene pool? Possibly, though my mom is quite weird as well (another time and another story)

anyhow in other news:Toddlertunes.ca is booked for Feb 13th to be filmed on CBC TV's "Living Calgary".
Purdy kewl. It's gonna give me great media for marketing and hopefully a wack of new clients!

Ok I gotta go.

Jesus, thanks for blessing my business and looking after me & the girls. Bless my Dad and draw him to you.
Amen

New Guitar

4.9 out of 5 Pucks

Why so happy you ask? Well, yesterday I was incredibly blessed to find a mint condition Festival series Washburn Acoustic Electric guitar for a mere $200. This guitar retails at between $600-750 so it is an amazing find. I've also been praying about finding a guitar the washburn I was able to play over 15 years ago. Warm, bright sounds that I really like. So there. Not really any bipolar issues to talk about, but my mini concerts are going to sound amazing.


Thanks Jesus for honoringg the secret prayers and desires of our hearts.
I love you and am devoted to you.
Amen

Happy New Year 2009

Here's what I was doing for most of December with Toddler Tunes.

Life has been pretty good though I did crash a couple times, my "down" times only lasted a four-five days all together.

I have fallen out of the bloggin habit, but I hope to get back on the social networking horse....

Right now:

Jesus, you are good and I love you. Continue to heal me and all those who call on your name of bipolar disorder. Amen
