Happy Holidays 2018 Family, Friends, and online strangers passing by, Happy Holidays. I think I’ve said this before about previous years, but 2018 has been a hell of a year, both good and not so good. Hard to believe that it’s been 10-years since I first left Long Beach and now I’ve bought a place in Las Vegas. Also second year in a row my … Continue reading Happy Holidays 2018
DailyRandomShit for 2016-04-29 I always wondered why there were explicit lyrics warning stickers on sweet Sara Bareilles’ recordings. I thought that it was because she’s known for dropping an F-bomb or two in her live performances. Then my friend, Kellie, directed to this sweet little ditty in my direction. Enjoy & have an effing great weekend. BTW NSFW! Continue reading Sweet As Whole by Sara Bareilles

This past Sunday afternoon Tricia and I went to see her brother play at a Blues jam session held at a place called Jesup Bay out in Oviedo, a few miles from my place. It was a beautiful afternoon, the parking lot was packed and a ring of motorcycles surrounded the entry way, where a few were enjoying the breezy sunshine and a smoke on … Continue reading For the Love of It – Music
Did something completely unexpected today. I saw that tickets for a October 21st Alanis Morissette concert were going on sale and in the process of checking out which tickets were available I ended up buying a pair of tickets. Given my horrendous fortunes in the past finding companions to share “the concert experience” with one would think that I would permanently swear off such things. … Continue reading Unexpected Alanis Tickets
I can’t believe that it’s been six weeks since I last saw Neva. Damn. I miss her and the friends at Taco Beach. I hope that they’re doing well. The whole thing inspires me to find my own voice and share the gifts God’s given me. Hopeful. jbb Music: The Things I’ll Never Be– by Neva Continue reading Neva – Acoustic Video

07-12 Pat Benatar @ HOB – Downtown Disney, originally uploaded by boringcom. Brother Matt and I found a spot among the screaming fans at Pat Benatar‘s House of Blues show, part of her current “Summerize” tour. Opening act, Lennon (aka Lennon Murphy), bravely leapt into her angst ridden set, solo on piano. In fact she came on without anyone announcing who she was and just … Continue reading Pat Benatar @ HOB – Downtown Disney
