A few months back our building had our windows redone since they were still the original ones from the 70s. I didn’t actually notice anything wrong with the window’s insulation since this is my first winter here, but you could definitely see that time definitely didn’t serve them the best. Although we moved in August, the…
Clear that Stack of Paper
Last year when my parents were moving my mom got ready months in advance. She was so excited to sell the house and get on with the rest of her life and it feels like she disconnected her emotions from the house altogether. I remember being so shocked by how easy it felt for her…
Collaboration for Inspiration
About a month ago I met up with an old friend of mine who is also a musician. She had recently released an EP and was hungry to continue writing music and I offered to take a look at some of her newer demos to see if there was anything I could help her with…
Boy, Where’s the Music At?
These past few months have been spent really focused on learning and growing. I haven’t updated this blog in around two months and that’s fairly common for me with a number of personal projects. That being said, it doesn’t mean that I’ve put everything down. I’ve been spending these past two months playing around with new…
I Finally Have an Office! (Office Reveal Photos)
I can’t express how excited I am to have my workspace back. For the past 4-months, I haven’t been able to do anything to the office since we were getting our windows changed (since they were from the 70s) and because I was working way too much. Well, as soon as I got out of school,…
Painting The Kitchen (Day 3): Almost Done — But It’s Lookin’ Good!
So here it is! Our yellow kitchen! I mean, it’s not fully painted just yet (we still need to re-paint the baseboards white and we need to fix the trimming on the door/vents.) Painting today took us longer than it did last time, especially because we had a hard time with streaking. I think the…
#NewMusic – Wake Up: Fully Producing My First Song Alone
It somewhat baffles me that as an artist who has been writing his own songs for about 12 years now, I have never fully produced a song with my vocals on it. Well, that’s not entirely true. In the past, I have mucked around editing covers and I did release a “single” in 2012 that…
Surprising My Spouse With A Painted Door
Today I spent some time with my parents and I asked if they had any extra paint hanging around their condo. To my surprise, they actually had a bucket of yellow paint. I wasn’t too sure if this was the yellow we wanted for the kitchen, so I thought… hey why not surprise my partner…
Painting The Kitchen (Day 2): Much Better With A Helping Hand
This week my partner and I spent a couple of hours working on getting the base coat up in our kitchen. It was a lot quicker and more bearable than painting the room by myself and let me tell you… I’m so happy the first part of the kitchen is done. We’re thinking of painting…
Painting: It’s A Lot More Work than You Think It is (First Attempt Painting Our Kitchen)
Since moving in I’ve known that we’d have lots of work to do on the walls of our new apartment. We moved into an apartment that seems like it hasn’t been cleaned properly in years. The walls are covered with holes, cracks and every room is slapped with dirty and what looks like a brown…
