Mo Money, Mo Problems

It doesn’t matter if you’re making $1.00 or $100,000.  You’re still broke.  You’re still living paycheck to paycheck.  The only difference is, you’re in a nicer place with a nicer couch.

I never knew how optimistic I was until last night’s half-drunken conversation.  It makes me almost sick to the stomach hearing myself speak.  Maybe it’ll all make sense in a few years when I can’t go anywhere without hearing someone playing my song.

The Downside of Being a Producer

You spend money on your artist, your writers, studio time, musicians, etc.  And sometimes, things just don’t go the way you want it to.  But you dust off your knee caps and keep moving forward.

Bluesy, Random, Uncoagulated Thoughts

My life is unstable.  It’s always a balancing act.  I can’t hold a stable job.  I can’t hold a steady income.  I can’t hold a steady cam.  

My folks get on my case - A LOT.  But what can I do?  I’m hopeless and a hopeless romantic.  I live in my own world.  I don’t live by rules.  I don’t care for anything other than the exhilaration of life, of breathing, of knowing that this is it.  This is all I have.  Why would I waste it doing something that I’d complain about?  What is the point?  

The best things in life are free.  I appreciate what is free more than anything I ever worked hard to pay for.

I know I am on the other end of the spectrum.  My idealism guides me.  At the same time, it ruins me.  But I can’t control it.  It makes me happy and miserable, but happy most of the time.  I can’t say that too many people have the life I have.  It’s exciting to say the least.    

But I do have expectations of myself because I do have a purpose.  That means, I have to work extra hard and be extra creative when I’m stuck at a road block.  The destination is still the same, so why not take the scenic route?  


discover sanctity from this decrepit crow
who sweeps its wings at sunset upon weeping willow

a poem by Ong Lee

We lead busy lives to distract us from our loneliness.
