when do you know the dance has ended? (part 2)
Well? Do you know when? Would you say it’s when the song begins to slow down or when it fades out? I’ve taken some time to really think about this, but not from the angle you might think. There are two people in a ballroom. One person asks the other to dance. The other agrees. They…

Who cares if my building only has three floors? That’s not the point. Let’s get right to it. Lately, I am constantly being reminded that everything requires a process. I find…

I almost had an abortion.
I figured that would get your attention. Now, on to the meaning of all this. I can remember there was a time when I wanted to be an Air Force pilot. That had to be one of my first dreams. As realistic as that was, it played “second fiddle” to an even bigger dream: Music…

Ahhhh….what a feelin’!
This picture was taken on Friday, just before I left for school. I just had to shoot this! It is simply, just…..MUAH! What a masterpiece! Let me offer this disclaimer up front : I am currently listening to “Old Blue Eyes”, so I apologize in advance if this post is a little grandiose. This picture,…
