I walked out of Chick Fil A on Saturday at 4:30pm. I didn't have the intention of quitting at the time just of taking a breather for a minute and collecting my thoughts. However, I did walk out the back door and come back 10 minutes later and so it was interpreted as a "walk out".
At least this time it was not due to an emotional episode. Sort of. Trisha was very upset and now I have to try and find a way to make money. Odd jobs and donating plasma, while collecting unemployment HERE I COME!

Studio
I went to the studio last night with my friends Paul and Rick. It was quite an odd turn of events. When Paul initially sent the tracks over to me I was not into it at all. The recordings of some were not very good and some of them were midi tracks that made Super Nintendo sound tracks sound like symphonies. Needless to say I was not on board. I spoke with Rick who was also contacted by Paul, and heard the same tracks I did, he was not very into it either. A few days later Paul called my boss at Chick Fil A to try and get corporate sponsorship for his ministry he is putting together. He gave me the schpeal that he was getting a bus and recording music and then touring the country. I did not share his enthusiasm.
God really worked on my heart. In the following few days a few things occurred to me. This guy is way over enthusiastic and has no grip on reality and I had a totally unwarranted sense of anger against him. However something new crept into my brain and heart. Over enthusiastic guys with no grip on reality accomplish a whole lot more than pessimistic crybabies who think they're too cool for everything. Also, the phrase,"Music isn't real, people are real."
This guy has a dream and is actually pursuing something he believes in. I felt like Casey at bat. "that's not my style." How long am I going to criticize everyone else and their attempts to follow the LORD while sitting here ex-famous and currently bitter. I was like a 5 fingered man giving the finger to a man who had two fingers. Making myself less than him because I felt like he was less than me. What a jerk. So, we went to the studio last night and we laid down 3 songs. They sound cool and It was a lot of fun!
"And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few." 1Sam 14:6
