Dr. Raj walked into my room at the ER and told me I had Leukemia. I didn’t know what it was but they said it was cancer, I knew I was in trouble. I definitely didn’t know I was in for 13 surgeries. My life has been an amazing roller coaster since then. I’ve been all over the world, shot a couple photo documentaries, had 13 surgeries, taken a bunch of drugs , taken some brilliant photos, written tons of songs and practiced 1000′s of hours of music.
Tomorrow when I walk out of the Hangar and hand the keys back to John I’ll have finished my greatest acvhievement ever. I wrote, recorded and played every instrument for my rock album. I channeled all the shit from the last couple years and made it into something positive. I’ve been chasing this album since I quit my job at the FDA 5 years ago so I could play music all day. Now my dream is on a reel of tape, I can hold whatever was playing in my head in my hands.
It amazes me how life has lead me down this path of fulfilling my relentess need to create. It used to haunt me since I had no clue how to treasure, control or enjoy it. I used to struggle with what I should do with photography in music; it didn’t seem natural to be good at both. Now I love it more than anything, I’ve been given gifts that some people never get the chance to posess or even find out if they have them. I didn’t care for my 30th birthday, tomorrow was the day I was looking towards. I started this album the day Declan was born, he came out because he wanted his uncle to start his life on the same day he started his. His birth signified the cloud being lifted and he immediately brought a joy to everyone in our family.
Tomorrow I wake up as the person as I’ve been working to become.
Now everything in the future is perfect.
