goals, in black and white

   Well.  My heart is beating just a little faster, my mind is racing just a little; I am trying to make something work.  Something that is difficult, but not impossible.  See, I just read an audition posting for a brand new Broadway musical, Spiderman.  And sure, I like spiderman and all, but that's not the kicker, uh-uh, not even close.  The reason that I am so excited is...drum roll please...

   The music is written by Bono and the Edge. From U2. That's right--Bono and the Edge!!!!

   And now? Well now I have gotten it into my head that I just have to do this show. How amazing would that be?  And the audition is in the city, on 9/16, which is a Tuesday; specifically, a Tuesday that I have a show in Boston.  But, not until the evening...I could do it.  It would involve paying some airfare, for sure, but it's doable.  I am going to make it doable. 

   Actually, I am a firm believer in faith; in believing for things in your heart that you don't see. Yet.  So, I am going to put some dreams out there, into the universe--from my mouth to God's ears, as the saying goes.  These are the things that I want to accomplish in the not too far-off future.  Oh, and these are career goals, mind you:

•         Originate a Broadway show (preferably Spiderman, Um, hi, Bono--I am a big fan or your work...!!!!)
  
•         Be in the musical, Chicago, on Broadway
•         Make an album, followed by many albums--and play my music for lots of people  

   That's it, guys.  Is that too much to ask? Really, I know God is plenty able to open any of those doors.  My job is simple; keep honing my craft and showing up to auditions. Keep writing music and playing wherever I can.  Oh--and here's a biggie: Keep. Trusting. God.
