It's the 30th anniversary of the greatest movie franchise that ever was (at least in my opinion). Star Wars. The same day today in 1977, the lives of people were changed with the first screening of Star Wars.

Back in 1977, I was a 3 year old. My mom took me to Rizal theater in Makati to watch Star Wars. I was hooked since then. Today I've seen all six movies over a hundred times. I read the novels and comics, collected the toys, and in general gotten into anything that's Star Wars.

After 30 years I'm glad to know that the saga is not dead. With George Lucas coming up with more Star Wars, I'll be a happy camper for the next couple of years.

I was having a discussion with Jay, my guitarist, after last night's gig about having to take on a day-job (I sometimes get surprised that we actually have "grownup" discussions). Ideally we'd be making enough money to support ourselves through our gigs. Unfortunately the months have been lean, and we can expect to have leaner months due to promotion of our upcoming album. This lead us to talk about what we wanted for our careers.

Jay, who was married just two weeks ago, said he had to eventually work. He didn't want to be a career musician. He couldn't see himself just playing as a sideman for his whole life. He says you can only make so much as a musician. To a point, I agree with him.

My case it's different I think you can make a decent living as a career musician. What I want is for my band to do well; and make enough a month that we can live well and have savings. I know it can be done. I've done it before (except the saving part).

Here's hoping to being able to keep this course and be able to live on it. If this time I get to save, I'll look for some good investment that will make a good secondary investment. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I haven't been blogging for a while mainly because I got bored with the blog. I'm currently trying to fix it up and will hopefully be back to writing soon.

The look of the whole blog has changed; to something simpler, classier. As of now though a lot of things still aren't working. You can say it's on a "testing phase". I'm currently having problems with the comments. Haloscan won't work with this template so I'll have to revert to the default Blogger system.

I better get back to fixing this thing up (I just remembered how much I hate coding). Even though most of it is a template, there's still a lot of modifications to do. Check back soon.
