Its tough but it has helped me become a better person. how?
Well since I am away from so much, its just like a clean slate. I have been out of the rhythm of life for 2 months so I can create a new rhythm for myself. Iv’e started eating better. In fact last week the only liquid I drunk was water. Now when I taste soda, all I taste is sugar. I used to drink a lot of water anyway, but this is just a deeper step.

I brush my teeth 3 times a day! 3 times! I still have to look into whether this is healthy or not though, don’t want to be destroying my tooth enamel. But its good, who does that? After every meal I am brushing my teeth.

Iv’e started working out. I don’t think I am going to look like Arnold any time soon, nor would I want to. But being a little bit more tone and leaner is feeling good… just about as much as it hurts.

I’m still working on my sleep schedule. Iv’e never done that right. Always been up at strange time and asleep at stranger times.

But through all this, I am preparing, preparing for an influx of people who will know my name some day. Iv’e got a video series waiting to be released. I just have to press a button. I’m working on new material for future songs/videos. Iv’e been beefing up my site, more secure, better infer-structure etc.

And Iv’e been training my voice. Pushing those high notes so they sound right and working on my divers-ability.
All this, and not getting paid a dime to do it. Just doing it because I know it has to be done for my dream to become a reality which is making a living from my original music.

Now here is the funny thing, I don’t know if this trip to Australia is going to be a success in terms of being more widely known and being able to make a living from my music. But what I do know, is that I am prepared. Iv’e never been so prepared in my life, for anything! I took ‘drivers theory’ in Holland 7 times.

See luck doesn’t exist. People don’t come out of no where and succeed long term due to this magical word called luck. Luck really is preparation meets opportunity.

So come at me oppertunity. I’m ready.

But have no fear, I’ve beefed it up considerably. So unless someone really has it in for me, my site should be safe for human viewing.

1am.  I’m gonna go pass out now.

Things ive learned the hard way about resetting your site…
Save the pictures
Save any .htmls that arnt inside your wordpress theme.
Make sure you have your old theme ready to go and install.
remember the plugins you were using.

Thats all I’ve got for now. My posts are still here, but the images are just gone some how.
So if you want pics, your just going to have to wait for new content or use your imagination.

This is our usual selves, she being Sexy, he being drunk off of red soda.

I took her up to a secluded area and read her a poem I wrote her in a book she gave me filled with the things we have done.

I got down on 1 knee and let her know my intentions

she said yes.

This is how I felt.

A fantastic place to find fonts is www.dafont.com. There are a tonne of free ones, some paid and some donation based fonts. Ive sifted through most of them whilst listening to my new favorite artists Marc Broussard. Who actually looks quite like this guy from http://www.kingkyle.com/ who is an Australian celebrity… here let me show you how uncanny the resemblance is….

they even tilt their head the same way.

Anyway back to Fonts… Here is what I am looking at.

I’m really liking the last font. It was created by Steven j. Lundeen of emerald City Fontwerks.
It has a home made feel to it as well as an old feel. Kind of reminds me of old ladies who make their own jam.

and its not that I want you to think of old lady jam jam made by old ladies. Its more the feeling of,

‘I made this with my heart and I want to share it with you.’

Anyway, what do you think of the font? Should I choose another one? Any suggestions?

If you would like to have this font, you can find it for free at http://www.dafont.com/intimacy.font.

Ok, time for some toast I think.

But it is not because I am not working. Ive been working quite hard. The EP is nearly done in the recording stages. I haven’t told you much about it yet, still a little hush hush.

So if you feel like your missing out, you can always see what Im up to on twitter @adamhoek and on facebook .

I am nearly in concept art stage!

See you all tonight at DwazeZaken!

What is it? Well, that’s where you go when you get a download code from me! you put in the code, and download a song. Its that easy.
how how do you get one of these said codes? Well, you cant yet… because I’m still designing the cards that the codes will be on.
This means, at my shows, you will be able to buy single songs instead of needing to buy an entire CD! pretty neat huh?

Usually I would only let my members see this stuff… but I thought it would be fun to open it up to the public so you guys can have some input too.
So have a look below and tell me what you think.
which card would you like to have? tell me in the comments below!

The Community Song project is an initiative that I have put together for my fans to help them express their creativity, using me as a tool.
The fans come up with the ideas and edit the lyrics etc and when we are happy. We make a video of it.
This is the 2nd one we have done, and you know what? It was fun!

Please check it out below and let us know what you think!
