Really? I’d love to hear your music, if you have it up anywhere. My music, you can find at Aries9.com. Hopefully in the near future, I’ll make a lot more music. Here’s my business plan.

Thats amazing!I didn’t mention I also run a small production studio in Brooklyn NYC. (been producing music since im 14, play guitar, play key’s well. i guess if you want to call it playing keys more like mashing them..lol) so if you ever have any questions or want to chat hit us up over at yinvsyang. I love music (art music go hand in hand) Been using everything from old cubase, to reason, to mpc AKai hardware, most recently we print to protools. Would love to chat about it.

Welcome to OBV! Thanks for sharing your story — it’s inspiring to hear how you turned a tragic occasion into a positive turning point. I can totally relate to what you’re doing with your art — I can do the same thing with music. I spend hours programming drums to my songs, moving a beat a split second ahead or behind, listening over and over, seeing how it feels to me.

I hope I’ll make the transition you made, soon.

9/11 attacks left me and many without jobs in the financial sector. Besides what was I doing in the financial sector? I was an artist since I was 5. This horrific time in many lives had some positive effects as any tragedy and the overcoming of it can. It permitted me to seek a career in graphic design, in which I succesfully run a thriving business along with a partner. There are still like any business some bumps in the road. But honestly my life is 100 times better doing something i love to do. There are times i just create “stuff” for no reason. So work isn’t really a job. Its probably why it also permits me to sit at a computer sometimes 15 hours straight into the wee hours moving an imagine millimeters left and right for 2 hours!
Awesome Post Ari! I really like the blog.

Welcome to OBV! To add to your comment, I think all activities demand something from us. We have to invest a piece of ourselves into every action. But only some of the activities have the qualities that give back more than what we give it. So we need to keep an eye out for which activities are life-sucking and which are life-giving.

Thanks for the comment! I look forward to getting to know you.

CG Walters’s last blog post..In the Wild or a Relationship, The Symptoms of Losing Your Bearings are the Same

Welcome to OBV! Thanks for checking out my post. Yes, one of the nice things about being journey-centric is that we remain flexible. Hanging on rigidly to any plan or goal can produce stress and anxiety. I need to be reminded of that constantly myself, as most of my anxiety comes from worrying whether the outcomes I desire are going to come true or not. It’s much more reliable to base my life on what I’m doing now, instead of somewhere in the future I don’t know I will have.

Thanks for the visit — keep in touch!
