A LOT of Traveling this Weekend
I leave tomorrow for W Virginia to be on a movie set for a cheesy comedy Christmas movie that’ll be out next year. I fly back to Nashville for a music video shoot and then back home on Wednesday...
Humbled, frustrated but content
Seems like an odd title. I am humbled by the people that I have in my life. Not family but close acquaintances that seem to enjoy my company more than my family. My mom came to my place the ot...
Tomorrow - another year older
I am going to spend the day at home. I have some work to finish up with and hopefully I can finish it. Gonna catch some rivalry ballgames and spend the day with some close family. I got to see...
I did it already knowing
She asked me to walk into the store and get some spices for the cornbread dressing. It’s the day before Thanksgiving… But… I did it and didn’t say a word. I already knew there would be none....
I'm learning more and more
There’s someone that I am madly in love with and have been for a long time. I’m steadily learning that our love languages are so different that when we reach emotional emptiness we crash and cla...
Times are weird
So, my little squabble has had me down. I’ve been upset at myself and all but avoiding the other person since it happened. This afternoon I had no choice but spend some time with them and have a...
Just not my week
I was uncharacteristically mean to someone yesterday. I was emotionally exhausted after the weekend gigs and volunteer basketball practice. They were acting so manipulative and conniving and I s...
May Skip the Festivities
I saw a very close relative in the store the other day. I haven’t been able to see them in about 3 months. When I’m available I would text and they would always have something else they were doi...
I knew better
I have a cousin that is getting married soon. They hit me up to handle some of their music. I wanted to help out so I agreed. Then, they wanted to sing a song to their husband and asked if I cou...
Awkward moment turned to blessing
One of the booking managers I use booked me at a church last Sunday morning. I show up and another artist was there setting up their gear. Turns out, my booking manager didn’t confirm the date a...
Well, I didn't win but ..
I got to meet a bunch of fellow independent artists. Some really interesting and super talented people out here making music because they love music. I have been so blessed to be what I do and...
Uh oh...
I’m sitting here at the hotel watering hole. I may have indulged in one too many… Oops
This close
I’m so close to firing an assistant. They won’t listen. Then when I try to explain they make excuses. They twist what I say and make me sound like I’m being mean to them when all I want is for t...
Torn
I volunteer my time as an assistant coach for a high school basketball team. This weekend we have some games on Saturday but I have to be at an awards pre show Sat and the award’s show on Sunday...
My feelings were hurt
I had dinner at a Mexican restaurant tonight with someone and I was telling our server, who was from Guatemala, about eating tacos when I was 13 years old. I was part of a band …the youngest…a...
Starving!!!
I have some important things in a few weeks and my nutritionist let me know I have to drop more weight. That stressed me out and I fell off the wagon and gained about 6 pounds. She mentioned som...
What's the secret?
It’s amazing to me that we are this far into time and we’ve still not figured out other humans. Why do people go out of their way to be mean? Why is bitterness so rampant everywhere? I’m convinc...
What if
What if I could move thru time! I would travel as far back as I could just to look around. I don’t think I would want to visit the future. It feels like the longer we move in that direction the ...
AME
Ask me anything
Sometimes....
Sometimes those seemingly in your corner never got out of theirs… Sometimes a good deal is only for the window ads Sometimes your hard work isn’t recognized until it makes the person who hir...
Reminder to me:
You’ve reached a point of self awareness that can be both helpful and depressing. You may never reach your dreams. On the outside - it’s okay. On the inside where frustration can’t hide - it hur...
Why I don't say it out loud
Why have I always done it your way? Why does what I want or need come second to yours? Why are we always satisfying you and not concerned at all about mine? Just the mere complaint makes m...
The City in a City
I have been in Minneapolis the last few days. Today I was able to wonder around the Skyway maze. I absolutely love that about Minneapolis. I think more cities would benefit from a skyway maze. ...
I want to make the world forget
I write music to help me forget the pain of my past. I write it and perform it hoping that whoever hears it will forget theirs. I study comedy and timing to help me deliver in a way that draws...
Nothing worse than an awkward dentist appointment
I had my 6-month dental cleaning today. I particularly don’t care for this dentist office, but it’s the only one my insurance will cover. I always get the weirdest feeling when I go for my check...
Book Description
The path my life has taken has left me with more questions than answers. I always believed that whatever you dreamed and worked hard for it would happen. At some point I woke up and the 9 year old little boy who dreamed of selling out stadiums and playing music apparently, was never born.
