I have trouble lately in finding inspiration. There is something blocking my mind that I can’t quite get around, it makes it hard for me to write anything I find to be quality work.

Today that changed.

I write music (obviously) and travel pieces. I find these rewarding, interesting and my passion.  While researching an article about Cincinnati I stopped by the Cincinnati Art Museum. I put on my Ipod as I entered the building and decided on Brand New: The Devil and God are Raging in me.

There is something about the combination of the eerie strings, Jesse Lacey’s passion in his voice, the tension and relaxation varying from each part and lyrics that sparked something in me.  I feel unstoppable and confident in this is what I want and need to do.

I’m positive I’m not the only one out there. I want to share them with everyone. Maybe the artistic value will spark something in you, too.

I’ve seen Jesse Lacey solo twice and with the entire band twice. His passion for what he does is how I want to feel about my writing. I want to do it regardless if people read it or like what I have to say. I think this is something well all need to remember.

At least when I meet him next time I will have something to say aside from “What difficulty do you play Guitar Hero or Rock Band on?”
