9 Little Letters...

Equals a Dream Realized.

STARCHILD


A year ago March, my family and Floyd Kunz (the coolest guy I know, next to my dad, of course,) opened Starchild Guitar Studios & Artisan Guitar Works in Union Square (Sandy, Utah).  About a month ago, we felt that we had out grown our small space and went in search of a better and bigger home.  We were lucky enough to STAY in Union Square (9460 S. Union Square Suite 104, Sandy, UT 84070) and double our floor space!  The past few weeks have been spent sanding, painting (Cream in my Coffee, a most excellent Noir and a sticky sweet Red...), replacing carpet, building and transforming the space into a rock and roll heaven.

My contribution?  (Other than manning the long board?)  See for yourself:



Between myself being extra anal and the scale (the guitar is about 7 feet long) this took me about 12 hours to complete...


I can't wait for you all to come see it in person... 




What do you think?  ;)

Much Love,

Don't pretend...


After a terribly difficult week, crying so hard in the middle of my kitchen that I thought I never be the same, sheet rock dust mixed with tears, a little bit of bruising and divine intervention in the form of a four day trip to San Francisco, all I have to say is this:


Take my hand, I know it doesn't seem enough for me to feel it
Understand
That I will never be the one who
Traps us in, I know it doesn't seem enough for us to keep it
Seize the day
When I will always be the one who...
Takes you for a ride and then decides
That it's not right to keep on like this
I will dismiss all the thoughts and feelings
That consume me
From the very start I saw the art
In painting everybody else to be
The savior of the world
You're my saving grace
You're my saving grace
Take my hand
And know that every second is forever
Don't pretend
That I would ever be the one who
Loses faith
In knowing that we'll always be together
Check my pulse
Cause I will always be the one who...
Takes you for a ride and then decides
That it's not right to keep on like this
I will dismiss all the thoughts and feelings
That consume me
From the very start I saw the art
In painting everbody else to be
The savior of the world
You're my saving grace
Stay with me late into this night
Lay with me, and I promise to make you feel...
You're my saving grace

And I'm not gonna lose you




Seriously, that's how I feel.  Lost and conflicted and angry and sad...and yet, pretty content...like I know: somehow, someday down the line, he'll get it.  I just pray that that day comes sooner than later.

Thanks, Crash Kings for making things a little bit better...

I left my heart in...
