“It’s better to burn out than fade away.” -Def Leppard I have seemingly taken an unintentional break from blogging but felt compelled to get some thoughts down while they are fresh on my mind. The topic tonight? The one that scares us most-the big D. Not THAT D-get your minds out of the gutter. I…

I Believe In A Thing Called Love
I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There’s a chance we could make it now We’ll be rocking ’til the sun goes down I believe in a thing called looooove, hoo-ooh Guitar!!! The Darkness That song still incites a ridiculous one person carpool karaoke session every time I…
Into The Great Wide Open
“Into the great wide open Under them skies of blue Out in the great wide open A rebel without a clue” -Tom Petty If you follow my blog at all, you will notice Tom Petty references sprinkled throughout. The reason for this? His music just speaks to me-the simplicity, the complexity, the poetry of it. It embodies…
Solid Gold
“Anyone can find the dirt in someone-be the one who finds the gold.” The topic of discussion this evening, my loveys? Positive energy. I love seeing people be unapologetically excited about…well anything really. Even if I don’t fully understand the place they are coming from, I feel like I soak in flecks of the…
And the beat goes on…
Let me take a deep breath before I say this… I may be getting OLD! The dreaded “o” word. This epiphany happened on my 12 hour solo drive home from Florida on Saturday with the company of three teenagers and came in the form of one of life’s greatest pleasures-music. There is ALWAYS music on…
Love Glasses
Inspiration comes from the strangest of places sometimes. Today’s happens to be a meme of a hamster rocking some retro pink heart-shaped shades. Who am I to argue with what my mind associates with the constant birrage of info whirling around in there? I have learned to just go wth it. The tune for ‘Yesterday’ was…
Count On Me
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea, I’ll sail the world to find you If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see, I’ll be the light to guide you The mind is an interesting place at 5am on a Monday morning. By interesting I mean…
Free Fallin’
I wanna free fall out into nothin’ I’m gonna leave this world for a while Now I’m free…free fallin’, fallin’ Something about Free Fallin’ always makes me happy inside-and it matters not whether it’s the original Tom Petty version or the acoustic John Mayer cover. It instantly transports me to memories of riding on…
When the Levee Breaks
First, thanks to Led Zeppelin for my title inspiration. Their version of that song is everything that blues rock should be. Always. When it rains, it pours. I don’t even really like that phrase, but in this case it’s pretty damn fitting so I shall leave it. Disclaimer-I am in a particularly “grrrr” mood today…
Let’s Get Together and Feel Alright
Yes, it has been a while since I have felt inspired to put words on (electronic) paper-sorry for the silence but I have always believed in quality over quantity so I refuse to waste my time or yours on meaningless posts to fill up white space on a page. Frankly, we are all busy…
Something I Need
You got something I need In this world full of people there’s one killing me… Tonight is one of those nights. My body is exhausted (high five to me for finally knocking the dust off of my workout kicks today) but my mind is rebelling against any form of sleep even though it knows I…
Talking to the Moon
“Listen to the night as the night knows your truths, your stories, your aches, your dreams, your cravings, your forgotten memories not so forgotten.” -Victoria Erickson 2:23am… The witching hour has come and gone. One would think I would be sleepy by now. In reality, my body is exhausted but my mind feels like I…
