Keep it Simple

Taryl:

"We’re gonna keep this one short. We’re gonna keep this one simple. It’s so hard  for me to keep things simple that doesn’t make sense but it does.

I’ve been in LA. I’m tired. I’m really tired. Mentally and physically. I think just the last couple of weeks has just kicked my butt. Moving and traveling . I think it just all caught up with me.  But this week i’ve been trying to plan my  move from LA back to Tenessee. Getting the rest of my stuff that  is in storage. I don’t have a lot of stuff but it feels like i have a lot. I guess that is what triggered me and made me think what do i really need .  

You start looking at it and like well i gotta hold on tot his. I gotta hold on tot hat. Next thing you know you are not throwing or getting rid of anything. I spent some time looking into that because i’m very indecisive. I like to keep things simple but I like to have options.  To many options don’t work good for me. I know that but I do like to have options so i have to figure out a system for myself . Got to figure out how to simplify, simplify my life.

I’m the type of guy that if I have a phone charger I’ll have a 5 foot cable and I have a 10 foot cable. Then I’ll have a  backup for the 5 foot cable  and then I’ll have a backup fort he 10 foot cable and you really just need one cable maybe two but then I don’t know how long of a cable i need so I get both and next thing you know instead of needing one cable you have four cables.

Is That An Excuse Or A Reason?

Taryl: "It’s 2.40 a.m. Still in Nashville Tenessee but I’m about to leave in 2 hours and 20 minutes to go to the airport. Then I’m landing LA. Gonna rehearse the third and the fourth with my brothers and then on the 5th we’re flying to France. We arrive on the sixth, we perform on the 7th and then we go back to LA on the 8th.

There is a difference between  an excuse and a reason. I’ll let you decide which one this is. I’m here in Strasbourg France with the Sony FX3. Synotone is the picture profile . i’m using the Ecm Xm1 microphone in the hotel room.  I have a show to do in about four hours. We go on at midnight. It’s a little different but. I started working on a video. I started editing a video. Taj gave ma a call and had to drop something off. He checked out the video so far where I was in progress which was not really that far.  I was at a dillema. Already it’s been a crazy week. From the time i started Nashville going to LA, coming here. It’s just been crazy. I’m in the process of moving. But the real problem the real thing is that this computer that i have here it’s making it really hard. I’ve learned alot this week. I made a mistake.

I used the Pocket 2, I used the FX3 and I used the Zv1 and i think the mistake was using the  ZV1 but now it’s tree cameras instead of two. I just made things a lot more difficiult than I need to be. Which is something I knew but something I did not follow. Let’s cut to it. not really having a video this week because the video that i want to create I don’t really have the time to create. Is that an excuse or a reason?
