It’s been years since I’ve posted a blog! I don’t know if you’re like me, but I’ve got multiple blogs all for different purposes under different names and from different websites. One is a blog I share with my friend that I’ve had since high school. We post in it on and off over the […]
Sleeping did not happen, yet again, for any decent length of time. However, I did wake up far less tired than yesterday. Fingers crossed for tonight. I went to 3 panels today, the first of which covered the ins and outs of making the trip across the border for tours and festivals. Having gone through […]
Because I was so excited last night, I did not experience this day with enough sleep under my belt. Nevertheless, I had a great time. I also had a great pulled pork slider around 5 O’clock. One of the panels I attended was an “Online Assets Review”, where each artist in attendance took turns having […]
Let me start by saying … I forgot my pajamas. Also, the shifty internet at my hotel last night wouldn’t let me make this important edit to the previous post: In the airport waiting gate full of approximately 30 people, everyone was quietly sitting. Everyone except the lady who was having a conversation on speaker […]
Last night I procrastinated on packing due to anxiousness. I managed to fill a backpack with sweaters and scarves, but it was not going to be sufficient.

Internalized homophobia… is not what I’m dealing with. But I think of that concept on a daily basis because it’s the same thing I have, only not about homosexuality. It’s about having “depression” and “anxiety”. Notice how I put those words in quotes? That’s because I have stigmatized myself. I don’t want those words to […]
By the time Indie Week came around, I was feeling a little better, and things continued to improve as the months went on. Indie Week was a smashing success in my perspective (Check out the Indie Week Blog Series!) and I’m so grateful for the ability to have experienced it in a relatively happy state. […]
I really worked with my head to convince myself I could surpass any lasting emotional damage by using the age old spiritual suggestions of “pray for her”, etc. I can recall a moment after feeling such joy, I thought of her and borrowed my strength from that moment to call good wishes upon her, and […]
When I met Ciro, I was at a point in my life where freedom, happiness, and exuberance were peaking on a daily basis. I had been flying solo for a solid 7 months, and in that time had accomplished a major dream of touring. After travelling for a month in the states, which was magical […]
Life carried on. I focused on other things. I relaxed. With my head turned away from the pain of possibly losing sight of the only vision for my career I had ever known, I was free to enjoy all the other wonderful parts of my life. There were twists and turns of other aspects of […]
