Runnin' on all cylinders

My birthday at Honey Bears
     It's been awhile since I last posted, sorry about that, I've been a little busy this last month with projects and finals and all.  Right now I'm on a well deserved break from everything(except my wife) who by the way has dominated and directed MY free time.  Ya, I'm not too happy about the "honey-do" list she's created which includes things from doctors appointments to yard-sales, but as she has pointed out, it's all in the marriage contract, you just have to read the fine print.

     Anyways, I just finished finals a week ago, and check this out, I got a B in college Algebra. Ya, I'm amazed too.  I tell you, while I was taking that final, which took three days by the way, I had my Bible on my desk opened up to Romans 8:28.  One of my classmates remarked, "is it that serious that you need your Bible?"  I responded, "I need all the help I can get!"  My other two classes, Cultural Diversity and Environmental Science were relatively easy as I passed both of those with A's.

Some of my stills that are going to be shown
     So just when I am ecstatic about my collegiate endeavors, I get a call from a prominent acting studio out here that wants to display some of my still photos.  Man, my opportunities continue to blossom.

     Let's see, what else is happening?  Oh, there's talk of a reunion with my old group The Line/O.G.P.  We are planning to remix and release an album with some old and some new material.  We haven't seen each other since 1997 and I look forward to meeting up with them.  1997 is also the last time I produced any music as that is when my entire studio was robbed and I lost everything including $25,000 worth of instruments and recording equipment.  So you can only imagine how happy I was to produce my first track since that time.  I've been blessed to be able to acquire a keyboard and some software and I produced a track as soon as I was able to get everything together.  Here's a link to it if you're interested. http://soundcloud.com/gary-mason/g-style-swang

     My blessings continue, my 43rd birthday just passed and I only get better.  Thank You Father!
