DUH!!!! #favoritemovieofalltine talking animal movies get me every time.

DUH!!!! #favoritemovieofalltine talking animal movies get me every time.


I made 5 different types of iced tea. what.

I just booked 3 photo shoots just for Heartbreaker.  I’ve been in a slump and trying to crawl out of it as best I can. I need more creative projects. Work gets a little stagnant and can also be overwhelming with the amount of things I’m responsible for. I do the job of about 10 different people.  Tomorrow I have 2 sales calls and I’m making a delivery to a shop in Fullerton on Saturday, too.  Tonight I’m running rehearsal for the Moanettes because - say what?- we were booked for a wedding in July.

Playing in a band will be fun. This band feels effortless. Maybe because it’s a genre I know and love and my voice fits in.   Time to get busy….


While I sometimes get eye-twitchy while I’m busy, I surely prefer it to being bored. For me, boredom brings depression and that’s just sad sauce. Busy means getting things done. It means feeling accomplished. And feeling accomplished feels good and not so depressed.

My healthy-health things are finally looking up. No more icky stuff. Still on antibiotics, but at least now I’m seeing a difference.  It’s been nearly 3 months of this….thing.

He told me to write and so I wrote until he came back into the room 2 minute later

If there were a way to fly us to mars

I’d take you straight there, but not in a cars

If there were a way to rock all the boats

I’d rock all the boats and kick out the goats

If there were a way to love you all day

I would do just that and take nothing away

If there were a way to bake cookies in the snow

I don’t know why, I just thought it would go

If there were a way to keep Charlie from farting

then maybe we wouldn’t be so sad while departing

If there were a way to paint the sky yellow

I’d give you a whole new reason to make me some Jello

If there were a way to eat one more bagel

Fuck man, what do you want? I’m not made of legos

If there were a way to pickle your toes

I would have music where ever I goes

If there were a way to get ready freddy

I would be so fast at singing a melody

If there were a way to make money from trees

I would buy you nothing but some funny bees

If there were a way to give you the wind

I would capture it for you in a bright yellow tin

If there were a way to give you a monkey

believe me, baby, I would. And we’d name him, Wunky

If there were a way to make bright red bananas

that would be weird and what rhymes with bananas?

If there were a way to wear all different shoes

then we would be tall and not know what to do

If there were a way to fly all the kites

then I would still love you all day and all night

If there were a way to be everything ever

Then I think we would know just how much we are clever

If there were a way to turn love into water

I’d drown it in it.

This zen tip was inspired by the following passage from the book Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse:
“I’m not joking; I’m telling you what I’ve found. Knowledge can be transferred, but not wisdom. It can be found and lived, and it is possible to be carried by it. Miracles can be performed with it, but it can’t be expressed and taught with words. This was what I sometimes suspected even as a young man, and what has driven me away from teachers. I have found another thought, Govinda, that you’ll also regard as foolishness or a joke, but which is my best thought. It says: the opposite of every truth is just as true! That is to say, any truth can only be expressed and put into words when it is one-sided. Everything that can be thought with the mind and said with words is one-sided, it’s all just the half of it, lacking completeness, roundness, or unity. When the exalted Gotama spoke his teachings about the world, he had to divide it into Samsara and Nirvana, deception and truth, suffering and salvation. It can’t be done any differently, and there is no other way for the person who wants to teach. But the world itself that exists around us and inside of us is never one-sided. A person or an action is never entirely Samsara or Nirvana, and a person is never completely holy or sinful. It really seems like this, of course, because we are subject to the deception that time is something real. Time is not real, Govinda; I have experienced this many times over. And if time is not real, then the divide which seems to separate the world from eternity, suffering from bliss, and evil from good, is also a deception.”
