Can you believe it’s this week?!? We are gearing up to sing you some of our best songs mixed in with some original Christmas music. This year we will also be hosting a toy drive. Bring a toy for a child in need! We’ll have a table set up as well with music from the artists. Here’s the info and lovely poster for this event.

Today we filmed in a field, a grocery store, a library, a street, framed in a window, on a couch, with someone brushing my hair, in a bush with a light moving behind the camera, and in a bathroom. I have always had a hard time putting trust in someone else to make the artistic decisions. But this time, I am determined to include more people in my projects. Not only does it lift the load I carry all too often, but I hope to gain some insight on how to be social with new people. I’m stunningly bad at it.
Sarah is K’s cousin. She studied film in Spain. She’s only 22. I want to know this person. I asked her to film a video as well as an epk for me. We are on an adventure. A strange one, really. We are both quiet and reserved. It may take some time to crack our shells, but we are well on our way.
New people will be good for me. Ever since my entire life started over at age 30, I’ve been upset with myself for carrying so much of my old self on my back. I dry her tears, console her silly worries, and listen to her complain about all those old events that happened long ago. She’s kind of a whiny little bitch. And in the end, I can’t fully live in the now until I drop her off in the wilderness of the past. But… One step at a time.

Today, in this house, I’m pretty sure 5 songs were written.
It’s time to take stock and realize how grateful I am for my friends.
I don’t have many. Never have. I’m a loner. My dad told me he was a loner, one time when I was too young to understand what that meant. Now I do. I choose carefully and wisely, I think. Recently, a young girl confided in my friend that she was upset I “never said anything” to her when she and I were at the same event. And with that, she now holds a grudge against me. That, and she lusts after my K so there’s another grievance. But my point in saying this is that I don’t talk unless I have something to say. I trust my intuition. Some people make it easy to talk to them. Those are the people I tend to gravitate towards. Maybe it’s who they are. Maybe it’s the dynamic of our personalities. I don’t know. I just trust my instincts.
I do the same with music. Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, I feel as though I live with the most talented songwriters in the world. They don’t know they are. I can see it, though. I can hear it. It’s beautiful how they are just people writing songs. THAT’S what makes them great. Not people SAYING they are great. The world is full of bloated bullshit about who is better, more popular, etc. etc. Being great has nothing to do with other people’s opinions.
I feel as though I’ve changed my scenery in the past year. Once, I was surrounded by people who only knew how to suck-up and appease their “famous” “friends.” Now I’m surrounded by humble, grounded human beings. I couldn’t ask for more. These people are rare and hard to find. I realize I don’t have many friends because I’ve been holding out for them.
