I think it’s really important sometimes to just disconnect and re-charge.  When there are great opportunities and challenges in your forecast it’s important to just sit back, relax, breath in and go full force. We’re excited for the future, cause we’re confident in the decisions we are making now. If you don’t know how to live now, how can you expect something great in your future?

Many times I’ll just sit around the house with Diego and begin to dream for him. I see the potential he has now as a child, and how that will grow into more. Or how he jams out to the songs I sing as if they were the greatest tunes ever written! Everyday I sit here in our apartment and look around at all the cool stuff Reina is designing and making, and see potential for greatness in her. Zion is only 7 months and I can see the great things in store for his future.  The things we dream and foresee may not be here now, but we’re living as they are and they are on their way.

I’ll pace back and forth at the apartment with song ideas, film ideas, book ideas and try to fit them all into a piece of paper. LOL. I see potential for great things and believe they shall come to pass. I think many times other people believe in me more then I believe in myself…I am a work in progress for myself. My prayer and thoughts are that in all that we do, we give honor to Christ the ONE and only in all things.

I am taking some overdue time off from blogging and facebooking  to re charge.  Not sure how long this time off will be. It could be a few days, a few weeks, months, a yr…But please know I shall return. I am Gonna sit back, breath in, meditate on truth, on faith, worship and love. I will  write, create, sing, design, re build and return when I am ready for the next season of this journey and  I look forward in connecting with you great folks all over the globe. For those who read my blogs, thoughts and random left hooks, please continue to leave your comments, your thoughts and prayers. Feel free to take over my page with your thoughts, jokes, random nonsense, encouragement and comments, I will continue to read them from time to time. Lots to do my friends, lot’s of stories to live and tell, lot’s of dreams to build, see you soon.

It was never said that this journey would be easy. We always envision a glamorous entry into our dreams. The things we yearn for perfectly rapped and waiting under a tree. Sometimes it takes giving  it all up, to gain it all. Hurting to feel love. Losing to truly win. Being let down to truly help someone up. This has been by far the greatest adventure for me and my wife Reina, and of course our 2 little boys. I came across a picture I drew for her when we were young teens dating. Well we’re still young…or at least look it…I think… Could this have been a look into the future? We’re finally taking the adventure we talked about since we were young and dumb. I guess we really were onto something and we’re finally going for it. Win or Lose!

The things we worked so hard for, we left behind. The titles, the accomplishments, the material things we “valued” all left behind. For what? For this? Yep!  An adventure like no other. Every second that passes right now is a moment I can never get back again. Whether it’s tough or not, it is a valuable and priceless moment that I wish to seize.

Call us crazy, call us fools, but at the end of the day we sit back, look at each other and know this is real. It’s bitter-sweet to see people go, leave people behind, try to bring those along that wish not to, separated from those we share life continuously, not hearing from those we expected to, and hear from those we never expected to…It can be a lonely road, but when you have all that you need..must I say more? In the midst of it all, we live in great expectation of hope, love and faith and victory…

Anyone else on a journey too?

Sometimes you just gotta walk away from it…Doesn’t mean you’ve given up, it’s just forcing something that isn’t ready to be revealed. When you drag extra stuff on your journey it just makes it unpleasant on your feet. Take only what you need.  Most of the time the things we “want” are useless in our journey. Why am I saying all this? Not sure? Maybe “YOU!!, yeah YOU” whoever that is  needs to read this.  When we focus on the irrelevant we lose all touch with humanity. You gotta stay true to “YOU”, but never compromise the truth, and in the process engage the culture. You’re world will be totally different…Trust me, I am taking my own medicine and trying to smoke what I am selling. It’s a process….These are great times my friends…trust me when I say this… All is not lost, just been looking out the wrong window…Sometimes we need a swift kick in the ass to get our act together!!!

Don’t force what isn’t working, it’s cheating out the best of you, being ignored…

“misfortunes make Giants” coming soon….

So… I am taking on a new project. I am gonna transform my garage into a production suite…a mobile one that is….I am an artist, songwriter and visionary…But right now I don’t have a space at home where I can lose myself to that….Reina, my amazing wife is an artist, Interior designer and painter…But right now she doesn’t have a space at home to lose herself to that… SO!!!! Starting this weekend I am going thru the garbage, getting rid of the stuff I don’t need and keeping the cool items of inspiration and need. If you wanna help, come on by. If you have ideas, come on by or shoot me an email. I am excited.

Once the room is set and ready, I am gonna work on an EP…yes a “fuser” EP. Until then though, lets get this creative room designed, created and built. Just gotta figure out how i can keep my garage cool? Any suggestions?

-fuser+

stay tuned for the progress…what should we name the room?

Well, we just got back from an amazing vacation. It was great to take some time off and do nothing…It was everything and more. My brain took a break, my body indulged in traditional criolla foods, spent way too much time under the sun, and loved my wife and crew more and more. It was trully a blessing. On the flight back I took some time to think. Think of what is next for fuser…I realized the idea of writing a book is not time yet, but I will c0ntinue to journal and document key moments in my life and soon enough it will be time…I am still not the best leader I can be but was totally humbled by how great of a team I have at LPC. Major “ups” for the production and worship band!!!

I think I am gonna keep chipping away at the film I’ve been writing for some time now and let that flow and take its shape and story…I love being creative, and starting new projects but with all that comes great responsibility…New tunes are stirring in my soul,and in the next few months they will go on paper and rough demos on garage band…I am playing with the idea of a “fuser EP”…not sure how that will pan out and sound like…But why not right? There are some words and melodies I’ve never shared with anyone…I think I just may turn the lamp on, and let you see…Sometimes you gotta stop looking for the created masterpiece, get your own blank canvas and paint on it…What that will look like? I am not sure. But I am always up for a good journey. So for the fun of this blog, if you were my creative manager, what would you like to see me do next?

Zion Max Santoyo has been a blessing to us. It’s been priceless seeing Diego interact with him and love on his brother. It’s awesome. I will admit though, on them days when Zion cries and keeps crying, and cries some more…it can be a little frustrating…Reina is the true rockstar though. She is up every 4 to 5 hrs to feed Zion, change his diaper, and just be an amazing mom to him. I help out but it’s nothing like mama. I will admit I have gotten better at changing diapers. Getting baby crap on my hands is less and less everyday…So I am proud of that. Baby #3 has been mentioned but I won’t tell you when…LOL…Yes we want a big family. When I am up at 3am (which isn’t too often) I think, ” ok, maybe 2 kids is enough”, but when the boys are up during the day, screaming, running, I imagine 2 more…When Diego and I are at the pool on the weekends I imagine 4 kids running and jumping in the pool. I imagine myself traveling the globe with Reina and the Santoyo tribe…These are all random thoughts right now…I guess I am just totally loving fatherhood. It’s amazing.

The Challenge of being a dreamer is trying to sleep at night. It just seems like my mind doesn’t stop racing, creating, writing, seeing, believing there is always more. More I can do in this world…Re considering pursuit, is not an option.

So tonight I am having a round table brainstorming session with some cool people I know. Gonna share a film idea I’ve had for a few yrs now. I am excited to see this come to life. Just indulging in another passion of mine. The art of film… We’ll see what happens. I will definitely be reaching out to directors, writers, producers and actors for advice…This will be a new hat for me.
