The Lone Loner
When I was growing up our family pretended to be tight. We went on vacations. We took time to go to the drive-in because 5 movies for 10.00 a car made much more sense than 7.00 a piece for one m...
I don't get paid to feel...but
I have to wear a few hats. When I’m on the road I am both the road manager, production manager and the band leader. Somewhere in the mix, I’m the artist. At home, I am the office manager, legal ...
Another Work Trip
My work trip yesterday and today landed me in a casino. I probably could have stretched my trip an extra day, but we have apocalyptic storms moving through our area so I thought I better get bac...
Figure it out
I believe that when things don’t go your way you can be the element of confusion or you can figure out how to make the best of it and leave a positive impression. I looked around the meeting a...
Business trip...
We are currently on a business trip (1 of 2 for this month). This one is 3 days and was supposed to be full of meeting some industry people. It turns out as soon as we were about an hour from ho...
I wasn't ready to lose you
You read that title and think someone died. Although they are alive and well it’s the part of them that is no longer with us. It sounds selfish of me to think that way. Do I get to have feelings...
Processing
It’s like the cliche - “It’s not you, it’s me!” Or is it? Maybe, it’s all involved. It’s everyone. Lately, I have gotten caught up in how political happenings have been effecting everyone ...
Roommates
There comes a point when you will feel like an ornament. You sit on the shelf and you are there because you remind someone of how they felt the day they found you. You represent a moment of happ...
Aging sux
I am getting older. It’s been a minute since my last confession er entry. I have taken on an extra job and it’s causing problems at home. But, when I work at home I’m getting criticized. I can...
Why Do I do This to Myself
I have been very conflicted lately about playing music in churches as a profession. In the South, if you don’t use your musical talent for God then you are sinning. On the other hand, I don’t see...
What Did I Win?
Last night I had the most vivid dream. I was at a conference type meeting. My wife and youngest was in the room of the hotel where the conference was held. I was in a meeting with a apparently a ...
I'm Right Here
Spent the afternoon at a family function celebrating one of my sister’s kid’s birthday. We had to pick an odd time due to scheduling but we all made it except our grandmother - she was waiting fo...
Closed and Enjoying
I’ve always heard if you hold it in it’ll find its way out eventually. Today, I had to draw a boundary in my home office - this, is the space where I work. Also, if you are working with me and I ...
A Weekend Off
Had the weekend off - which doesn’t happen much for me. Probably shouldn’t have had the weekend off at all. The more idle time I have the dumber I tend to be. I come up with ideas that no one wan...
Is It Okay To Be Angry?
This time of year all the local schools are busy handing out awards. The pictures posted on social media are amazing to see. I love seeing the accomplishments of the kids. Seeing how they worked ...
Direction
I am watching a series. During this series there is a person that is going thru therapy. The patient is adamant that they have moved past an episode they went thru. The therapist says something t...
Embarrassing but Awakening
I haven’t been on this platform much lately. I have been diving into my dreams and the interpretations. I have had a lot of dreams and been able to really hone into their meanings - whenever ther...
Something New
I got the opportunity this week to play drums with one of the best band’s I have ever had the opportunity to sit in with. But - I’m not a drummer. Lol I started out playing drums when I was 11 y...
Who Am I
I am searching for myself. What and who I am made of is certainly being challenged. This page is dedicated to dreams - so I’ll share a few I’ve had recently (no particular order). Music produce...
Reality sinks low
The lie of the millennium is that you can do whatever you set your mind to do. I believe, to an extent, there’s just enough truth to make it believable; ultimately, it’s the one percent untruth t...
My Issues are not huge but...
…they are mine. I think I write about the blahs because I have no problem sharing the happy times. Yesterday, I was an emotional wreck and every time I tried to suppress the negativity it would ...
I Live Alone
I sit and stare watching my world crumble A blank sheet waiting for the notes Once they’re written I’m hid between them The silence I keep misunderstood as humble I’m looking right at you and m...
Conflicting Conflict
One thing I have never been able to master of my own emotions is feeling of being the last to know. I’m not sure what it is that upsets me about that so much. I remember once at an office I used ...
Facebook post to triggered memory
Saw a Facebook post that triggered a memory. Ever have one of those that used to upset you or make you angry, but now just seems like a bad movie scene - no emotions at all? Here’s one.. The post...
Timing
It all bust seems that timing isn’t my strong suit. When I was a teenager I was told, a lot, I was ahead of my time. Some things I wanted to accomplish I was told I would need to wait. Then, afte...
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.
