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 ...

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...


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...

Happy late Labor Day

Did anyone labor today? I went to Sam’s wholesale and regretted it the moment I sat in the parking lot waiting on this guy to decide if he wanted to walk in the crosswalk or talk on his phone…...

Yuck

I’m working on Saturday in a friend’s studio to lay some vocal tracks for some folks he’s cutting. The band put me up in a hotel…or motel - feels like there should be a neon sign out front that ...

You... absolutely...matter

Lately, I just keep wanting to remind everyone around me - you matter. I met a person who’s husband was involved in a hit and run. I’m trying to help the family secure finances to care for him. ...

She was right!

My nutritionist tells me repeatedly in our weekly meetings - when you reset your body to homeostasis it will tell you when you alter it. She is right! Today, I did some musical events close ...

Work and Play

This week I had a meeting out of town in an area I’m familiar with but don’t go to much. The meeting was met with a lot of technical setbacks but everyone sort of took it in stride and made the ...

I feel myself changing

I was shopping the other day for groceries. Out of nowhere a guy walks up and calls me by name. I said - you got to help me out and tell me who you are. He told me and I still didn’t know, but t...

I didn't realize it much

I sincerely miss everyone that used to message me. I miss reading your entries… I’ll do better. I’ve been extremely busy lately. I’ve been frustrated. I’ve been - lonely. I certainly appre...

This week - wow

I have a lot of prep work for some things I’ll be doing later this week. I’ve been writing and doing research since last Thursday. I’m thankful for AI but I’ve been a bit nervous because I found...


....to make an entry but I also have all these words running thru my mind. Today, I worked for 14 hours. That’s insane! What is worse is that I didn’t even realize it until I walked away from ...


I work with an organization that helps people that can no longer work try to apply for disability through the government. That means that everyone on the team must work for free until the claims...


I spent 4 straight days traveling in a 15 passenger van and playing 5 shows. I received word on day 1 that my best friend’s mom had passed away. Because his wife’s family were out of town they d...


I did 5 programs in 4 days and a couple thousand miles of road time.. The crew stopped for lunch at this fried catfish and seafood place. There was a bit of a wait and I was entertaining every...
