Guess What? The World Is A Terrible Place...

I hope you all have the understanding of my European friend here... Today I want to go a bit deeper into purpose, once again, but also address some of the negativity I receive for my outlook.  Apparently some who read this blog are taking my ideas in a direction that is entirely wrong and not at all...

You Can't Hold Yourself Together. Why Should I Hold You Now?

A real friend is one who makes you a shameless "Chick Mix". All of us - every single person born on this earth has a certain something about them nobody else has ever, nor will ever possess.  One attribute which rings as an ever present and ever constant truth is that we all have our own personalities;...

This Is For My Instagram Models...

Here we are, back to talking about the selective ways in which we educate ourselves.  Are you ready?  No matter, because I am going to jump right in regardless. When we watch movies or television shows based around either non-fiction or plausible fiction stories the theme of "street smarts"...

Facebook Lies Are Haunting Us...

If you know me in person, a response like that shouldn't surprise you. A few months ago, I went into some details about people who are artificially or unrealistically happy, but after some consideration, I think there are a few little bits to accompany that blog (you can read it here if you want to). I...

Coddled And Crying. Life Is Not Fair...

They catch a fair amount of crap, but they stand around quite a bit, don't they? When I was a kid, my parents held me responsible for whatever stupid decision I happened to make in my life.  Luckily, for them, neither my sister nor myself gave them much grief growing up, which probably has much to do...

Mix It With Something To Take The Edge Off Of Life...

Life solidarity and focus.   We are losing the battle. All of us. Don't worry - we figured out how to make "light" vodka that tastes like candy. I had no intention of writing about this today and actually have about three solid pages of hand-written notes from this weekend I planned to use.  Later....

This Is My Confessional...

I have no idea how to go about this.  Starting anything when it comes to writing is always a struggle for me - that whole "transition" crap gets in the way.  Anyways, here we go. This whole "blog" thing started when I was still a somewhat delusional teenager and teachers often said I should...

Small Moments Make Large Impressions...

No significance.  Just a picture of my dog. Recently, I became somewhat active on Instagram (I still don't enjoy it) and if you are unfamiliar, basically it is a photo album smartphone app you can continually update and anyone "following" you can look at or comment on your pictures.  A few days...

Who Needs To Be Honest, Anyways?

International security clearance stickers are like a badge of honor for musicians. Honesty.  Starting this one off will be weird regardless of how or what I do, so I will just jump right in and tell you a story.  Good?  Alright. A big hobby of mine is playing stringed instruments, as some...

Chivalry? He's Dead, Boys. Pack It Up.

 That conversation was all sarcasm, and funny to me. Chivalry may not be dead, but it is actually in a slow, seeping process of torture on the cusp of it's last days.  Those are strong words to be reading right now, but I find this idea as both the truth and an entirely relevant theme. Our generation...
