Burger > Luna, Tail of the Torbie Kitten
Emily and I were walking around downtown Concord while Jim set up his drum kit for regular Wednesday practice, when we heard what sounded like tiny mews coming from a bush right by the road. No siblings or mama cat around, this little one was alone and HOWLING. So I went and got her a burger patty from the What-a-Burger around the corner. We ( Read more... ) -
Out of the Deep
You cried to me, hungry, from out of the deep
So I filled your belly and helped you to sleep
A tiny, terrified soul in need
I gave you what I could to succeed
A happy home that's free of fear
And loving arms to hold you near
Together we changed your fearful ways
So you're safe and warm for the rest of your days
Dedicated to sweet Luna, the tiny ( Read more... ) -
Saw a total solar eclipse the other day!
I don't think I've geeked out about anything that much in awhile. On Monday, August 21, 2017 at around 2:42p.m., the boo and I were at Gibson Pond Park in Lexington, S.C. -- in the PATH OF TOTALITY!

Negative Me.
I've got a lot of pent up aggression lately, I guess. As warranted as it may be for me to feel a bit jaded and burnt out with the frustrating events of late, but I still want to get back to staying positive! -

Sad poetry time :(
These iron eyes are staring back at me
From a dark and solitary vacancy
I fear the light is gone, never to return
Extinguished with no fuel left to burn
A thousand other places I'd prefer to be
than sinking in a sea of saline-soaked apologies -
quick musings from dark places...
I hope you'll still be okay ( Read more... ) -
Failures of a Part-Time Suburban "Rock Star"
As the little owl printed on my tear-stained t-shirt stared back at my downcast eyes, I wondered if I just wasn't cut out to be a rock singer. This ONE WORD in the lyrics of the song for which I was laying down tracks took me literally half an hour to get right, and it frustrated me. I hadn't eaten much because I don't sing well on a full stomach. ( Read more... )
