Last night I played an open mic at a little bar down the street from where I live. I played with my friend Matt whom I’ve talked about before. We have been practicing together for some time now, and we’ve been wanting to play out. We had a little set picked out already, so all ...
I look back to about a month ago (at least, it seems that way) when I was going to write my review of “The Great Gatsby”. I never did. My sister Sundee told me to write it so she would know if it was worth hiring a babysitter for my nephews so she and her ...
I got to see a pre-screening of “The Great Gatsby” last night with my pal Alan “Shep” Shepherd, who is also part of the podcast I’m on — “The Awesome Movie Podcast“. He gets pre-screening tickets all the time. Last week when we were doing our episode on “Poltergeist” he mentioned he had tickets for ...
Alright I wrote a new story the other day drinking a cappuccino at a coffee shop. It is about heartbreak. I have an audio version where I read it out loud. I am going to post that as well, but I want to see if I can get it to stream so you can just ...
Man things have been busy. I’ve got this new gig bartending at a restaurant in Crofton called “The Blue Dolphin.” Some of you guys may have heard about it, or maybe have even been there. I stopped full time bartending over a year ago. I made good money but I didn’t like where I was ...
I was working a party last Thursday for the Blue Dolphin. It was a political fundraiser for a future candidate for the Anne Arundel County Executive. It was a decent crowd; generally the political types are polite and good tippers. While I was at the bar, I overheard a guy talking to a woman about ...
We had a little jam session on Thursday night. I have talked about my weekly sessions but I figured I would grab a few photos so you all could see the Jam Room. I headed over to Matt’s after a random post-work nap. I woke up thinking I had to get ready for work then ...
A month ago I picked up a few books from Barnes & Noble. I was browsing the bargain section. I found a book about discipline (“No Excuses” by Brian Tracy), the famed “Think & Grow Rich” by Napoleon hill (I’ve wanted to read it for a while but it was never on sale), and finally ...
I just returned from a week in NY State with my family. My mom lives in Ballston Spa. My sister and her family were coming from Buffalo. We celebrated Christmas and New Year’s together. I booked my flight a month or so ago. I had big plans to work on my writing, as having all ...
I’ve been writing my whole life. The only thing I’ve ever really wanted to be is a writer. Writing is what validates my existence. Pretty much everything I’ve ever done, or gone through, has been worthy because they are things to write about. If I couldn’t write, there would be no point in being here ...
