DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Ever have a conversation with someone and certain words just drop on you like a bomb? That happened to me this morning (Monday March 17) at 7:49. Buckle up for this blog… I am going to copy/paste what my friend The Oddest Owl wrote me this morning when we talked about someone putting her workContinue reading “DO YOU UNDERSTAND?”

TIME TO ADMIT SOMETHING

We live in a dangerously nostalgic age. I think since the lockdowns in 2020, people had no choice but to revert back to their past, and dig up old photos/videos. We all reminisce, and that’s okay. It’s proof we’re still alive and breathing. But to stay in the past? No thanks. But I am goingContinue reading “TIME TO ADMIT SOMETHING”

I CAN ONLY BE ME

Anyone who knows me (and admits it) will know my obvious influences. But there are some guitar players that I admit to not mentioning so much. It’s not from lack of respect, it’s just that they slip my mind at times. I am going to fix that right here. You ready for some names youContinue reading “I CAN ONLY BE ME”

GLAD IT’S NOT A LEAP YEAR

I am so glad that today is the last day of February. If this was a leap year, I would lose my mind. Oh I lost it back in the 80s if you can find it. This winter has been the coldest that I can recall. We had more snowfall than the past two yearsContinue reading “GLAD IT’S NOT A LEAP YEAR”

UPDATED (AND STILL OUTDATED!)

What do I do when I’m slightly bored? I update the logo on my website. And I’m still outdated in everything else! Many years ago, somewhere around early 2005 to be precise, I had a discussion/disagreement with a drummer when he said “You need a logo.” I said it works for others but not necessaryContinue reading “UPDATED (AND STILL OUTDATED!)”

HOW FITTING!

We all struggle with various aspects of our lives. One that definitely seems to be the most talked-about is fitting in. We all want to feel validated/admired/appreciated but at what expense? When you’re unique, it’s sometimes not welcomed. We’re living in an age where generations are clashing left and right. We’ve often said “We won’tContinue reading “HOW FITTING!”

HEAVY BLOG TIME

I’ve been debating on writing this blog, then erasing it, forgetting about it. Then my brain says “You have to be honest with yourself and those who read your blogs, man.” I hate my brain sometimes. Every winter, I battle with seasonal depression. I make no bones about that, and if one person can stepContinue reading “HEAVY BLOG TIME”

“I LIKE YOUR STYLE”

Whenever I go somewhere in my town, inevitably (but not often), I will hear something from a teenager or pre-teen: “I like your style!” Hmmm…I look like a hybrid of 70s/80s but with my own sense of…style? I wear what feels good. Whether it’s t-shirt/jeans/sneakers, or leather jacket/flannel shirt/Doc Martens, I’m just me. I neverContinue reading ““I LIKE YOUR STYLE””
