Ok, so things are looking up a little. I still have my aggravations and crap I just can't seem to figure out. Such as: I'm surrounded by people who really seem to love and care for me, but I still feel terribly alone.

I'm just mental, I think.

Anyways, I'm really excited because I'm finally going to be making some music. I'm taking all the pain and anxiety of the past 16 years or so and digitally encoding it on to little plastic donuts.

All I have so far is stuff I recorded on my old Casio and my Tascam 8 track recorder, but I've managed to get them up for public listening! (Now for the shameless self-promotion.) If you'd like to hear it, check out myspace.com/dogwaterbarry. The "band," (made up of just me, so far. It's ok, I play all the instruments) is called Dogwater. I got it from a Simpsons episode. <=O I know, shocking, right? So a band that barely exists having a website before having a CD or even a public gig may be a little hasty, but there WILL be a finished product by summer's end.

Anyways, sorry this journal entry isn't very personal. I guess I'm in too good of a mood right now.

Later, friends.
