June…half Corvid-19 and half semblance of normality. Felt weird to sit in a bar and have a drink, yet felt normal to be back at the gym. Mentally, I was the same. Feeling weird and feeling normal. Feeling half of this and half of that but not necessarily a whole something. The image to right sort of sums all the mental feels. I’ll be honest, … Continue reading Songs of My Life: June 2020
When I originally sat down to reflect on the songs of August, I thought the theme was BREATHE as it appears in several lyrics and try as I might to stay level headed and together and positive and all that wonderful jazz, I do sometimes forget to just breathe.

I’m not really sure August had a “theme”…if it did, I couldn’t figure it out. Musically, the songs this month where all over the freaking place! They matched my scattered mind, thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Maybe that is the theme…scattered. Who knows really? I know, I don’t for sure. “Saying Goodbye” by Sugarcult I woke on August 1st singing this song. I kind of fell … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2015
