Connecting

Sometimes, when you least expect it, something happens in your life that takes you aback. It infuses you with a totally new and different perspective. I had one of those moments at breakfast yesterday morning. Truth be told, I was feeling a little down on myself for hurting so much even though I have reallyContinue reading “Connecting”

Smiling Faces

I was pleased at the size and exuberance of the crowd at my 2pm show today at the Kingston Nursing Home. It was a cool retreat from the crazy humid-heat we are experiencing and I arrived early to set up. With the help of Dan the Therapy Man, who helped me set up and loadContinue reading “Smiling Faces”

Go Quietly Into the Night

Bullshit. With maybe the lone exception being an escape from murderous pain over which you have no control. Otherwise, you don’t go anywhere quietly. You fight with every single ounce of energy that you can muster, and you are not out (or gone) until you have given your all. This life is far too beautiful,Continue reading “Go Quietly Into the Night”

Miracles

You either believe in them or you don’t. I believe in them. There some clinical people who need a scientific explanation for everything. They must quantify everything they see. I don’t get it. There does NOT have to be a reason for something. I am definitely not proposing that we just throw our hands upContinue reading “Miracles”

Mainstream Maddogg

I guess, in spite of all my efforts, I am now officially a member of the mainstream pet-loving community. What started out as a cool gesture of offering to donate tips I make from my gigs to the local Humane Society now sees Bruiser, Murphy, and Maddogg as faces of a flyer which will beContinue reading “Mainstream Maddogg”

It’s Wrong

Somewhere in the Cosmos there is a Karmic force that never let’s a wrongdoer get off scot-free. I truly want to believe in this Karma thing, even when I see dumbasses seem to get away with doing the wrong things with no regard for consequences. They will pay. Sooner or later. The Senate House MinorityContinue reading “It’s Wrong”

Good Cheer, Goodbye

I was spreading it today for a 2 PM show at Sycamoresprings Nursing home. It was a nice turnout and the residents were super cool, and totally engaged. They requested ten songs from me and I was able to do seven of them. I had a dear lady who was so excited and I broughtContinue reading “Good Cheer, Goodbye”

Happy People

…are so much more fun to be around than assholes. Effortless smiles and laughter. I had a blast yesterday talking with, and playing music for, some residents of the Heartland of Miamisburg ProMedica Nursing home. It was a small, but spirited group of listeners and I had them requesting songs and singing along (American PieContinue reading “Happy People”

Out of This World

The Final Frontier. Here-tell of a company that plans to open a space hotel by the year 2025. Just that thought puts me in orbit! Sparking up a fatty of some galactic superweed and looking out your bedroom window….at Earth. That would not suck. If it ever became reasonable to do so, I would goContinue reading “Out of This World”

Observations

I understand that China, that forward-thinking, last bastion of devious actions, is not very happy with the World Health Organization’s Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (now that’s a mouthful). They do what dumbasses do when they don’t fully understand someone else’s words or ideas. They censure them. Dumbasses. The only thing the doctor said was thatContinue reading “Observations”
