She saw it on the show room floor, and she told me..."Bob...it's beautiful, it's ROOT BEER BROWN!!!"
Now my thought was WTF....ROOT BEER BROWN????!!!! But the color is really pretty and totally my Mom. It wouldn't be my Mom's car without choosing those rare and oft-considered "ugly" colors.
Anyway...I am so happy for her and jealous all at the same time, Our Father in Heaven knows that my Mom deserves this beautiful vehicle. She's been wanting something that's big enough to caravan our whole family around since my nephew's car seat always makes for an uncomfortable ride. The Venza is a great family vehicle, and I actually was lusting after it when I was forced..err um decided with my wife's help to trade in my BELOVED and MANLY 4-Runner for a Camry a while ago.
I always ask my mom, "Mom, when I make it and can buy you whatever car you want, what will you get?! MOM: Oh, I'd like a little Honda CRV, or a RAV-4!" That's my Mom for ya...a humble soul.
Now let's see if I can get my dream truck back, a new 2010 Toyota 4-Runner =P
In other news....
Well I think the picture says it all....
I have ants in my pants with all this getting my album up for main distribution and such. It's really almost like an extra job trying to be an artist and launch your own solo project. You have to maintain, and creatively control a personal website, not to mention get/stay in POP STAR shape. Oh yeah...then there's managing your music and spending the countless HOURS editing and preparing for a World-Wide iTunes release (Japan, UK, Australia, Mexico etc.)
But I can say I'm exhausted in the best way possible. Nobody will make your dreams happen but YOU. It took a while for me to learn that, but I'm ready to start living my dream instead of talking about it.
On that note, I hope you have a BLESSED weekend. I will be singing in Calhan, CO on July 31st. I will have video up of that right after.
