When I was younger I spent hours writing. I'd close the door, let the music play and what came out, came out. I had passion, I had drive, I had desire. But nearly everything I wrote had a dark bent to it, very dark. I was writing from and through my pain, it was the … Continue reading Conflicted
The Damaging Side Of A Competitive World
So the last couple days have had their ups and downs. I've already had one job interview, and I have another scheduled already.

Another Challenge Faced, And A Dream Fulfilled
One of the issues I face daily is that I don't enjoy leaving my home space.

At The End Of The Day
It's been raining here in the desert today, a beautiful day. Kind of romantic even. It's the end of Valentine's Day. It's quiet now. I had only one wedding to perform today.
