Good Lord, affirmations that all is not lost!  A young gentleman by the name of Pokey Lafarge, has reaffirmed my inspirations for the old ragtime blues of the 20’s.  Spawned by musicians in the juke joints of old trying to mimic the piano jazz rags with a guitar (the music not pokey, I imagine he […]

So I’m a jerk, I’m an impulsive puts who starts a blog and posts five times annually. Like I give a damn how people perceive the half cocked projects I start without any intention of following through with.

By struggle I don’t mean I’ve resisted or that its become a source of frustration or depression. I simply find myself at odd times wondering what the old friends are doing wondering what riotous […]

So I applied to a college today. It’s got me all nervous. Oh yeah, I changed the theme again…hehe. So yeah college, man scary situation. Being 31 I feel old to be going back. From college out of highscool, to sushi chef and pharmaceutical sales, to webdesigner/marketer, to carpenter, to […]
