At this point, I would say I am working in my dream job. I love working on a Christian college campus with young people who still feel like they can change the world. The dreams and passion they bring to the table inspire me everyday. Of course there are many thing I would still like to have in the position I am in (Live Production HD system, studio for producing material, industry standard equipment, endless budget), but these things will not make my dream job. They would be fun to work with and allow us to produce better product, but the dream is in the students not the equipment.
It is easy for me to get lost in the new technology, and I have to constantly remind myself I am here for the students; they are the dream.

Wk2-2 DB Quickies: CD Ownership, Music Sharing or Spontaneous Listening
Topic #1
Can you remember the first song that really touched you emotionally?
I thinking back in my life I know there were many songs that impacted my ways of thinking, my mood, my understanding of the world. My preferences as far back as I can remember have been some form of Christian music. All of these have a message that encourages, challenges, teaches me. But, the song I remember most is one whose background is totally false.
The Phil Collins song "In the Air Tonight" was described to me as written by Collins as a response to a drowning of one of his close friends, and there was a man who could have saved his life, but refused. Immediately I was drawn and pulled into the story and spent a lot of time analyzing the lyrics. I was moved by the emotion and often imagined being in that setting and watching a friend of mine die, while someone could have saved them.
In reality He claims he wrote the song as a narrative of his divorce to his wife. It was, and still is, amazing to me of the power of our minds to create such emotion.
