2020-05-16 Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright
Bob Marley got it right. Three Little Birds is just one of those iconic songs from my past that returns to my mind again again in new situations and brings with it the history that my brain has attached to it. And despite all the hurt I’ve ever experienced, and negative nostalgia attached with some…

2020-04-28 Hidden Tracks, Nostalgia, and Serious Feels
I’m listening to a new playlist I created last week. It’s pretty much the bomb and full of songs I’ve forgotten I loved so much and some new ones I didn’t even know I owned. Each new selection leads down another road of thought, which is pretty incredible, but it makes me feel sort of…

2020-04-24 A New Setlist to Help Me Cope with Un-Planning
Yesterday I had this poem knocking on my door and I was like “just a second, I gotta check my messages”. I got distracted by the day. The same poem knocked again later in the day but when I opened the door I found only echo and silence. And that’s when I know I’m still…

2019-12-30 MFA Res Day 2 – On Music and Magic and Math
The song “Straighter Pilot” by Snow Patrol was in my head when I woke up. It’s not one of their more popular songs. It’s kinda quirky and kinda nerdy and truly atypical compared to the rest of their body of work. It’s a good reminder of what you can do with the freedom that comes…

2019-07-27 NYC Day 2 – A Wicked Good Time
The kids don’t wake up until noon which gives me plenty of time to write and walk to the corner market to refresh our depleted food supply. Yesterday I finished all my write-ups for residency and getting that submitted will be a load off of my mind. I also moved all the pics from my…

2019-03-31 Do What You Want, Not What You Don’t
I’m walking on the treadmill in my new house and my sweetie is working out beside me. He subscribes to amazon music or maybe you get that with A Prime membership and he downloads new stuff and makes these workout playlists. It’s usually turns out pretty good and i get to hear something different than…

2018-11-17 Hey Mr. DJ – What’s Up?
This morning I woke up around 6 and that would normally be fine, but I didn’t go to bed until close to midnight. That equates to less than 6 hours of good sleep. I was doing great for the week and then, WHAM, it all went down the drain because of one night. In any…
