Goodbye, GannsDeen.com

I’ve given it much thought and I think it’s time to face the inevitable. This isn’t easy, but then again, many major decisions aren’t. After more than three years, I think it’s time.

GannsDeen.com has run its course.

I’m a servant of one God, husband of one, dad of two, and a communicator/friend to more than 8,000. These are my priorities, and I need to focus on that. Somehow, the joy has gone out of maintaining so many websites, and with the limited time in my hands, I want to put that time to good use. Worrying about GannsDeen.com’s direction takes it out of you. So I’m pulling myself out of the equation.

I’ll keep this website up for another two weeks, then use GannsDeen.com to forward to my Multiply URL (http://gannsdeen.multiply.com).

I’m still online, and I hope you’ve enjoyed hanging out with me on my own website as much as I’ve enjoyed hanging out with you. If you’d still like to keep in touch, please change your links to gannsdeen.multiply.com, and I’ll add your websites to my RSS feed and links section as well.

Aside from Ganns Deen on Multiply, here are other places I will continue to frequent:

See you on the other side, boys and girls.

Lately, work has been feeling like… work.

I’ve enjoyed myself at my job for more than eight months, but yesterday was the first time I actually felt like… ew. I dislike feeling that way, that helplessness with the workload, that feeling that work wasn’t fun.

When my job stops becoming enjoyable and starts feeling like actual “work,” I know what’s coming up. The inevitable weight gain. Plus, I get all cranky, and… it’s just not good for my mood. I start to complain and get all snippy… it’s not a pleasant feeling.

So, today, I lift up in faith a prayer for patience, anointing for wisdom and creativity, given the types of materials I am now being called to produce, and an inner strength to resist the temptation of binge eating to deal with the stress.

“Set Apart” on MySpace

Please feel free to swing by my MySpace page, where I’ve uploaded Set Apart. I’m now working on a new song, I Rely On You (Psalm 63), which I hope to upload by next week.

Have a superblessed week, everyone!

Haunted

The past few days, I’ve been haunted by the image of Julian King. I still can’t believe anyone could actually pick up a gun and shoot a seven-year-old child.

My prayers go out to Jennifer Hudson and her family.

Listen to Mandisa’s “Little Drummer Boy”

Mandisa’s Little Drummer Boy is an excellent reworking of the children’s classic! I totally love it. The gospel choir near the end, the clapping, the party atmosphere, everything about it works!

Before this, my favorite Little Drummer Boy version was by Carnie and Wendy Wilson, but Mandisa’s Little Drummer Boy may very well best it. It’s really really good!

It’s Christmas, Mandisa’s full-length Christmas album now in stores. Get your copy!

Lost

Okay, I have a confession to make.

I don’t know where this blog is headed.

I’ve had so much fun over at Future Thin Guy, and in between doses of maintaining my Hyundai Getz website and my Multiply website, the raison d’etre for GannsDeen.com has gotten a little diluted. Of course, it also doesn’t help that Google did some fancy mumbo jumbo and suddenly my blog posts don’t show up on the SERPs anymore.

But it’s still a PR4, so I don’t want to kill it naman, kasi sayang. I just don’t know how many people actually still visit here.

So this is just another post to tell y’all to check out the other three websites I mentioned, while I try to figure out and make sense of this latest identity crisis for the website that actually bears my name.

‘Easy to Love You’ mp3 up this week

Archie Castillo and I have collaborated on a new song titled Easy to Love You. I’m really excited about this track because it’s horizontal in nature - it sings directly to God - but it does it from a first-person perspective. I think that first-timers to church will find Easy to Love You easy to sing because the lyrics aren’t so scary, and the melody is really anthemic.

If we’re going for a song that’s like a love song to God, this is one of my most introspective ones, I think. It’s gonna be awesome!
