Casting wishes into the placid pond of life won’t cause ripples which result in me being a better singer, so I voice my efforts into your lake of judgement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJhuVgrLhNU&feature=youtu.be Humbly yours, J

Fraying in the evening
As winter coughs its arrival into my world it delivers puffs of nostalgia and wisps of yearning. As the melodies of familiar holiday tunes warm my sentimentality, the loss of innocence strums discordant notes. This unfortunality, is that the nascent, desperate, shimmering optimism that the holidays once portrayed seems to no longer hold sway. I […]
Shifting Sights
For so long I was angry. I was distressed and full of energy and confusion. I was swayed easily by my naivety. And my anger was directed towards, in retrospect, so many things which bore me no ill will, nor had the immediate impact upon which my life would have hinged, nor my anger justified. […]
Lighter hand trick
Does this make you feel anything? Do you recall how it felt to have fire in your soul? Is it still there, or has your complacency extinguished it like a whore in a snuff film? Have you traded it for weariness? Have you traded it for sadness? Have you traded it for happiness? Was […]
Forest Sanctuary
Paris lived in the tree, deep in the forest, for many years. The tree-dwelling allowed him a distance from the ground, but not quite clearance to the skies.

Surprise!
The purpose of drinking different kinds of beer, from many different breweries, is to find unexpected gems. There are many who may disagree with this statement, but I stand by it, at least as it pertains to my beer interests. If variety and creativity were not relevant, I believe that I would be drinking from […]

We adorn our beams and eaves with skins of chemical and design, to mask the naked support that our augmented forest provide. And with these supplements we create uniqueness, character, and differentiation. Casually we accent our […]

Sometimes, between the haze of sleeplessness, and the release of drunkenness, one may find a halcyon sensation that is brought about by an immaculately constructed song. In a pre-dawn reverie, I stroke my thumb as I finger the keys. I don’t recall the emergence of the lines of wisdom that have creased the epidermis. Yet […]
Trinity
I am fond of origin and meaning behind people, places, and words that I encounter. Until very recently my understanding of this word, trinity, pertained exclusively to the dictionary definitions. Trinity is defined as a spiritual union, biblically, including Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Trinity also means a group of three or a state of […]
Free? Will?
It had been my intention upon my return from Colorado and Great American Beer Fest to highlight the experiences there. Yet for some inexplicable reason I find that I am compelled to write about a local beer. Certainly, there will be plenty of sharing from a craft beer week of epic proportions. But for this discussion, […]
