The Police Together Again: Never officially split

http://www.accesshollywood.com/news/ah3784.shtml

Sting is a fantastic musician and his separation from the police and forming his first solo project was and is still an inspiration for me...

That being said. THE POLICE ROCK!!!

It will be interesting to see these 3 guys unite after all this time. Especially since Sting has musically grown up both musically and character wise in front of the public. While Summers and Copeland have worked on various projects none so high profile and brand driven than Sting. Also the last time these guys reunited on stage it was so cool but a little rusty.

So I say break a leg to this reunion. I hope that egos will be left at the door and we they will elevate pop music again to a higher, cooler, level...

FOCUS: Too many balls in the air!

One of the books I’ve been reading is Why We Want You To Be Rich by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. In that book Robert writes the following…

FOCUS

F = Focus
O= One
C= Course
U= Until
S= Successful

This is a great concept. When I was younger I believe I was the odd duck a multi-tasker juggler in a more focused world, at the time people were still pushing GOOD SAFE JOBS etc. Now the new generations are multitaskers that desperately need focus. So at a time when I am becoming more focused the world is becoming more multitasking/ MTV/ internet based.

The challenge is that if you really want to accomplish anything of great worth. A large amount of focus needs to be committed.

For Example…

Movie: It may take 2 hours to see a movie and you can do it alone. But to make that movie cost about 20 million dollars and a large team of people, and probably took an average of 5 years to create at least.

Video Game: Another great short attention span indulgence, takes minutes to play. Perhaps hours if your really into it. Again to create that video game took millions of dollars a team of programmers and a unique vision.

Oddly enough when I have accomplished the most is when I and a group began focusing our energy on a specific project and a strange thing happened. Other projects also began to succeed as a result. Yes some of the projects did fall on the wayside as well.

This FOCUS piece from Why We Want You To Be Rich was a great aha moment for me. I hope that and this post will do the same.

Jugglers Perspective: If you are continually dropping the ball maybe your juggling too many balls.

Time to Focus…

Happy New Year! I'm Back

Just returned from my first real vacation/break in about 10 years, yes it’s been that long. I need to do that more than just once every decade. In the next week I’ll post a few articles from the trip on this blog as well as AirGorillaBlog.

There is much to accomplish in 2007. I look forward to the challenges and responsibilties but I learned on this trip that a rested mind can be a more prepared mind. That focused time spent on a task or a project can accomplish more than just unfocused tired time attempting to complete a project in an unmotivated way.

 

Podcasting: In addition as soon as I reconfigure my computer and studio situation we will be podcasting again, hopefully by next week as predicted.
