After losing a close friend of mine in March, countless condolences followed. Appreciating the acknowledgement for my loss, I thanked each and every kind person for their words of sympathy, noting that it was not just my loss, but every other person on the planet’s loss who didn’t have the opportunity to meet my firey … Continue reading

Carpe Diem That S***
Wow — It’s almost JUNE, which coincidentally (or perhaps not coincidentally) is halway through 2013! As we get older, I think we can all agree that time starts to pass a little bit quicker.

Right now I’m loving the whistful and creative folky sounds of Radical face though, particularly the use of light whistling in “Glory” (whaaaat?), … Continue reading

Well, How Did I Get Here?
* How did you get here and where are you going next? Have you ever stopped to think about where you are right now? Yes I mean physically, like where you have chosen to make your life, sure. But by this I also mean how you got to be the YOU that YOU ARE. Your … Continue reading
