The ability to see our lives as stories rather than unrelated, random events increases the possibility for significant and purposeful action.

Pull a thread in my story and feel the tremor half a world and two millenia away.

We're on an indie label. We don't have mass marketing behind us, and we don't have big budgets. We do our own thing. We do exactly what we want to do. We produce our own music. We write ourselves. We record ourselves. We mix ourselves. The artwork is done by my brother. That's not selling out. We're doing exactly what we want to do.

Nothing worthwhile is easy.

This was football played at the speed of ice hockey and the ball was in play for only 53 minutes of the 90. The Premiership at its highest level is enthralling, edge-of-the-seat stuff, but sometimes it is too fast and frenetic for its own good.

Few things are as encouraging as the realization that things can be different and that we have a role in making them so.

We're not in people's faces, but I guess we're kind of in people's ears.
