Forget 2012. Who needs the Number 23? A full moon? Blah Blah Blah. Sometimes the signs that the world is coming to an end ... are nothing more than stomach pains. And so began my laboring odyssey under the knife...and beyond.6:30 and I'm on my way to the ballet with my girlfriend. Yes, it was her id

The human condition is..."Suffering" says the Buddha. "Whatever works" says William James. "The result of natural selection" says Charles Darwin. "Submission to Allah" preaches Muhammad. Random.

Pretty simple little song I put together. Lost a good friend and it made me think of something a long time ago. For those who want to play along its fingerstyle for the most part. Chords are Em, C, Am and D. But its like a chicken...its better plucked.Late at night before I can dreamBefore I can esc
