What do I want to say?
what do i want to say?
i want to say that life is good
life is hard
life is bittersweet and not always understood
i want to say a frown plus a frown makes a frown
so smile
this is what I have learned in my days
I am sure there is more
and many more ways
to say something simple
but true all the same
so learn to be humble
and guarantee the win
life is not fair
that somethings fit in

So this is healthy...
Ok maybe I’m obsessed with you. But the real question is whether or not you deserve my obsession. That does not come cheap. You are so beautiful HOW the FUCK and why the FUCK would you do THAT? Seriously WTF? He is so gross. OMG you have no idea how beautiful you are and what you are worth. You don’t have a clue. But baby, keep doing what you’re doing, who you’re...

Love and Lessons from Australia
I would like to think that every trip and adventure you take has buried within some sort of insight or lesson that’s applicable to your life. Of course you have to be open to it cause these kinds of things WILL pass you by. It has become apparent to me that I had to travel to the other side of the world to learn two things in particular. I spent this past weekend in a secluded resort in...
Sunny and Sideways in Sydney
After a great visit to Los Angeles I boarded a 747 bound for Sydney with some of my closest friends I grew up with in Texas. I have never been to Australia so I was going to make sure this was to be something to write home about. I am now 3 full days in and at the moment have not really seen that much of the city staples or tourist type stuff. Truth be told I haven’t done much of anything...

My Valentine's Day poem
Sitting in a college pub alone somewhere in New Hampshire, I wrote this (the bartender helped a little)
2/14/11
When there’s no one to call and you feel out of place
And you’re struggling to find a familiar face
When every corner you turn leads to bringing you down
And not even your friends can change your frown
So you resign to drinking the whole bottle of wine
Celebrating a funeral...
stuck in snow...
jotted this down on the back of a parking ticket while trying to dig my car out- these sound like lyrics to me… i just wish i knew what the music sounded like
walking down the block with soaked feet this time of year
my car is so damn cold
it won’t go into gear
it’s stuck in all this snow with no shovel to help clear
to dig this out by hand
is the only option here
if i...
Freedom
To not be scared. Something I learned at 9:30am on the L train.

“How strange it is. We have these deep terrible lingering fears about ourselves...”

As the year ends...
I am going to offer a slightly different take on New Year’s this year…
Instead of reflecting on the past year, thinking about the ups, the downs, the wacky turns that your life has led, I say forget it. Have a spotless mind as you enter 2011. That’s what I’m doing. Not that 2010 didn’t mean anything cause it did, but I fear we sometimes hold on too long. Yes, it is nice to hold on to...

Recently I was with a group of friends celebrating a birthday and we all found ourselves slightly tipsy in the middle of the afternoon. So we wandered back to Greenpoint and proceeded to get on the…

When I first moved to New York I bought a new phone and got a number with a 917 area code. I was pretty excited. I told myself that since I went through the trouble of switching area codes it would…

Right now I am sitting on a veranda of what used to be an elegant hotel back in the 1920’s. I am fortunate enough to be staring out at Lake Michigan, while I am working on new tracks for my upcoming…

At this very moment I am cooking. As a kid, the only thing I understood about cooking was that it required mom to be in the kitchen at length so I would join her and try and stir stuff. I always…

Say hello to 2010. For the past 5 days as I filled out checks or forms where I had to write out the year, I realized that not until this particular year did I feel like we are in the “future”….

Revisiting Bob Dylan's Chronicles Pt 4
“Sometimes the things you like the best that have meant the most to you are the things that meant nothing at all to you when you first heard or saw them”
Revisiting Bob Dylan's Chronicles...
“In life anything can happen. Even if you don’t have all the things you want, be grateful for the things that you don’t have that you don’t want.”

“A song is like a dream and you try to make it come true… It helps to be moving. Sometimes the people that have the greatest talent for writing songs never write any because they are not moving”
Revisiting Bob Dylan's Chronicles...
Over the last week or so I have been revisiting Bob Dylan’s Chronicles… Some of what he writes speaks loud and clear to me like a church bell ringing between my ears. So as I press through it I will log those parts here. The first are words from his grandmother:
“Happiness isn’t on the road to anything, Happiness is the road.”

As I watch MTV I realize that it is quite possible I am out of touch with reality… tv that is. Are these programs real or are they written? I can’t tell and I am not sure which is worse. Some guy in this show is afraid to move out of his mom’s house. He’s 31. Now life has him doubting that he will reach his full potential if he stays. He just can’t seem to get off the tittie. In other...

Over the last couple of weeks i would say that i have learned some valuable lessons. Life lessons. Nothing that’s really huge but little things that make a huge difference when living life. It has become apparent to me that in order to exist with a decent amount of inner peace you have to be OK when...

Arizona/California
The one thing that sucks about being on the road and traveling for a bit is that you are forced to wear all the same clothes. You wear it out. Whenever you buy a new shirt or new pants you wear them out repeatedly. Seriously, you are sporting that shit everyday. That’s the beauty of being able to abuse the newness of new outfits. However, there is a window in which this can be done. ...
