The words, “I don’t ever want to let you down.” That is a really powerful statement. I’ve been one to oscillate between not caring enough what people think to caring Continue reading →

“The creative act is a letting down of the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended, and the attempt to bring out of it ideas.

It is the night sea journey, the lone fisherman on a tropical sea with his nets, and you let these nets down - sometimes, something tears through them that leaves them in shreds and you just row for shore, and put your head under your bed and pray. 

At other times what slips through are the minutiae, the minnows of this ichthyological metaphor of idea chasing.
But, sometimes, you can actually bring home something that is food, food for the human community that we can sustain ourselves on and go forward.” 
― Terence McKenna

"Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once."
-Audrey Hepburn-

People just want to be better and people just want you better. What I mean by that is that there are many people who will say, “Everything will be ok.” Continue reading →

I was introduced to Joey Ryan at the Shadowplay Lounge when he opened for Meg & Dia on November 19th 2010, which is when this photo was taken.

The Milk Carton Kids:

I have to just say thanks ‘Milk Carton Kids’! You will probably never read this and so really I’m just writing this open ended barely read blog to you in Continue reading →

"I dive straight back in the ocean,
Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest.....
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note
It started in my chest and ended in my throat
Then I realized, then I realized, then I realized
I was swimming...."
-Florence and the Machine-

Anxiety, Panic and Parties…..(Or no parties I guess I should say)

I’m not doing so well tonight. I worked five days in a row, which is normal right? There are lots of people who work five days in a row and Continue reading →

So I’ve spent the better portion of a year, feeling sorry for myself, feeling illogically guilty, confused, discontent, disassociated from life and well I guess sad and lonely. I’m sure Continue reading →
