Time Waits For No One

I turn 51 today. December 2nd, 2024. Going in to 50 last year I felt perfectly fine with it. I honestly feel like I truly came into my own when I turned 40. Sure, my body started the old breakdown with worn out joints, snap crackle pop sounds every time I went up stairs(or got […]

Stepping Back Is A Good Thing

Being away from work and essentially the world for over a week has been a good thing. I was pretty burnt out when I left work over a week ago. Burnt out and tired of being angry for some truly nefarious shite they pulled. I knew I needed to kickstart my Thanksgiving vacation early as […]

Been A Minute…

Hey all. Sorry for the absence. It’s that time of year where I put in some vacation time and unplug, spending my time off recording music, painting, watching movies, and spinning records. Also, just attempting to rid my brain of all the toxic waste that’s left in my head thanks to working for a giant […]

Me And Mom Go On A Beer(And Ice Cream) Run

We’re getting to the end of 2024, and that means I start eyeing my remaining vacation days like a hawk. Doing the math and figuring out how many days I need to cover my Thanksgiving vacation week, maybe a birthday vacation day, and then the time I need to cover our year-end shutdown. Well, since […]

Checking Out, Gotcha Days, November Walks

I’m trying to let go of whatever disappointment I’ve been feeling for nearly a week now. Disappointment in the election, in the decision that a majority of Americans made at the polls, and just what seems like a general lack of giving a shit for others that will certainly suffer for the next four years. […]

My Autumn Suite

Happy Friday all. Today I have released onto the world my latest musical work, Autumn Suite I-IV. It’s an 18-minute suite consisting of 4 parts that I’ve sewn together to make one long movement, if you will. It didn’t start out that way, though. It began back in September as me wanting to make an […]

Hmm…Well…

I hate it when my gut is right. Was I hoping for a different outcome? Most certainly and without a doubt. Am I dumbfounded by the results of yesterday’s election? I am and I’m not. I’m shocked that despite all that’s come in this election cycle(including violent rhetoric, felony convictions, the whole Nazi thing, etc…etc…) […]

It’s All Heavy, Man

The air feels a little heavier than it should. There’s a sense of doom and gloom all around, covering the view like a low hung fog. Thick as split pea soup, it seems to cover any chance of seeing what lies ahead. I’m living in a time that me 20 years ago could not even […]

Long Weekend, New Music Coming Along, Election Week

The 5 days off was much needed. No major appliances or vehicles broke down, no family emergencies, and no injuries. So I’d say it was a successful fall break. Of course the King Crimson show was the highlight. Still reeling from that one, and probably will be for some time. Halloween was pretty uneventful. My […]

Halloween 2024 : Beat Tour, Spooky Movies, Staycation

All Hallow’s Eve is here. I’m sitting in the living room at 9:30 am on Halloween Day, rocking a solid 5 hours of sleep. No, it’s not that I had a bad night of sleep. It’s that we didn’t get home till 1:30 am last night and I didn’t end up falling asleep until after […]
