Unloading DVDs, Gourds, and Other Stuff

How Do You Relax?

I love my life as an independent musician. It’s not glamorous. I’m not raking in cash, rather just staying afloat. However, I still feel like recently I’ve been in a rut. It’s from sitting in front of the computer too much. I love interacting with people online, but sometimes it gets to be too tiring. […]

What Color Is Your Dragon? Now On Sale at CD Baby

Life Is a Vacation, Cont…

I should elaborate on my Life Is Just a Vacation post that “If Life was The Vacation, and Death was just a temp job. What would your last thoughts be before you died?” It’s not easy answering that question. For me, “I’m glad I became a musician” is a nice last thought, but I don’t […]
