I was browsing the internet today when I saw a post that started a thread that asked “What is something really simple that makes you happy?”  I responded to the post with something that I have been enjoying for quite some time but I am almost always alone when I get to see it, which [...]

For as long as I can remember, I have loved music and ever since I was about ten years old, I have considered myself a drummer, moreover, a percussionist.  My best friend, who is absolutely amazing on the guitar, and I have been playing music together since we were about fifteen.  We have known each [...]

Lights

January 27, 2010

The song by the same title is one that always gets me thinking.  There are a lot of different people who live in that song, but you’re the melody.  I am writing this for you. I know that we have not always seen eye to eye and there have been days, many, in which we [...]

Love Story

January 6, 2010

I was watching a movie a little while back about a gay teenager who tried to explain to her mother that she “loves differently.”  I had to stop for a second and process this.  I find this to be impossible, really.
