To slip into the role of passenger Ambling down the road of life Not weary, not trying Simply getting by Oh how I enjoy to fall into anonymity It is so deeply pleasing not to press Not to try, simply to be But I know that road & I know where it leads ... Continue Reading →

Complete Surrender
This has to be one of my most procrastinated posts yet. Usually when I have an idea of something to write on it just falls out on the paper (or screen). Sometimes if I don’t have time I’ll put the idea in a folder for later but most of the time my blog is an... Continue Reading →

Music 1: Thoughts
Today seems like an appropriate day to at least start my exploration of what it is I love so much about music. Of course everybody likes music a lot of people love music, but I feel it is time to investigate what it is that has fueled my long love affair with assorted notes. Why... Continue Reading →
Video Games; guilty pleasure or just a hobby?
I love video games but for many years I have been uncomfortable publically admitting that. Why? Well there is, at least in my mind, some kind of public stigma about those who play games. We all know the stereotype, nerdy glasses wearing kind in a basement with no life. Yet of my generation, there are very few... Continue Reading →
