• I Feel Like A Unicorn Transcendence touches few people in this world. Some are lucky enough to reach it through meditation, or world building events. Others are bound by wars, or extreme stress that takes your body beyond its limits until that mind is floating above a life you once thought you could understand. Coming…
• Can do Attitude Make things happen by making things happen. I live by that motto ever since my first “No” was given to me. I never have known anything but to make things happen by making things happen. You can wish your life away or even believe you deserve the best because you are…
• Poetry in motion Being an entertainer is a struggle. It becomes a battle after every failed audition, bomb on stage, lack of ticket sales, and of course any expression of art turning to a flop. Even when you don’t feel your creative juices flowing, that can push you to hide. There comes a point…

It is our job to place an effort into growing a Brand relationship between fans, friends and those involved, naturally. These numbers are more important as…
• The Trap In performance entertainment there is a thing I call “The Trap”. It is as dangerous as getting stuck in quicksand. Mind you, at least quicksand may kill you. “The Trap” will let you live jaded to what was once fun! A few forms of this trap are out there but ultimately they…
• The value of man What is your value? Where do you stand with those around you. Most importantly, where do you stand with yourself? Your personal value will help grow value with others. In life you must embrace your personal value. Other people may or may not think highly of you, but they don’t…
• Memorizing I think it started with “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.” Yeah, how do I still remember that crap from when I was a child? Same way I remember the…
• The Act of Doing I want, I want I want!!! Okay, what do I want? When I first started out I thought “I am awesome, I’ll be successful”. When I was about half the age between that and where I am now I screamed out “What the hell is going on, why is that…
• Failure is an option I learn from my failures. It’s the only place I have ever accomplished more. A bad joke on stage turning into a great joke with trial and error. Songs I’ve written getting worked out through playing-around with it. Failure leads to success. We learn through doing. I’ve learned a great…
• A New Year The first of the year. New Beginnings? People always saying “I will do this, or that” on the first of the year. We promise ourselves change on the first. Will they stick to it? Sometimes. Maybe a few days, maybe a week. What’s the point of a new year and that…
• Holiday Jeer? Merry… I have no idea what one can say here without offending people. Including, what I just said. I love the holidays, I am just not a fan of them. As an entertainer you could make a lot of money working on a holiday. It only cost you your friends, family, and…
• End of the world Great news, we are still all alive. Who knows what people really thought with our ends in mind. It gets you thinking. What do you want to do with your life? Are you doing it? Have you created steps to make your life happen? I think we should live as if the…
• Is it worth it? I’ve been living this life of entertainment since way before 97′. I remember finding art as a way to express myself. I also remember art becoming the last thing I wanted to do for a living. It’s a hard business. When I started out they really didn’t have computers and…
• Some is better than none “A little a day.” That’s what I told myself when I got into the swing of things. Entertainment is difficult. It is designed to keep the unmotivated out of the loop. Surfers are hard workers. Those individuals pushing through a strong ocean wave after being knocked out. Then dragged…
• A stormy beginning I was asked about what my thoughts on the number 3 was. I really wanted to write that blog, but it occurred to me that a storm just hit NY Long Island, among other places. So, I was in the storm, and I am an entertainer. I will get to the…
• Taking control of the uncontrollable When I first began playing an instrument I wanted to learn piano. My brother took over both my piano and my music teacher. This lead me to play the guitar. Again, my brother took over my guitar and my guitar teacher. So I gave up. Silly me, one should…
A hateful, yet supportive, environment known as entertainment Hate. There is one way NOT to start a thought. Oh, another way. Words like “no”, “not”, “hate”, “crappy”, “poopy”… okay, poopy is funny… the other words are in essence, negative. That’s our community of beginners. Do some people support one another? Of course, they do. They…
F*ck you, you, and you Dyslexia! One of the hardest parts about being in entertainment is reading in front of people for the first, second, third, forth, and so on times when you have Dyslexia. Interesting enough, Danny Glover suffered from dyslexia while in school, he was “a functional illiterate” when he graduated from high…
