Day in the life

We’re doing the mastering for “Simultaneously Alive” now, which means Danielle is taking over a lot of the specific finalities as producer — as well as recording some vocals –, which also means I have a lot of time on my hands being just the songwriter and being all jobless and whatnot. I thought it […]

Thoughts on change

I’m working in the corner of the kitchen tonight as Danielle finishes the master for the first single from “Simultaneously Alive”. We’ve done a lot of work to ensure that certain corners of the house are no longer recognizable as what they were when I was growing up here. This is one of those corners. […]

Gainfully Unemployed

I got turned down for another job the other day. A local one I really wanted this time, so it hurts a bit more than the others. I can’t keep track of the number of resumes I’ve sent out to either rejections or radio silence — or a combination of both — over the past […]

Updated website

I finally got around to updating my site. I eliminated a bunch of extra sections that make no sense to me now (who, what, where, etc.), got rid of the darkness and nebula-like mandalas of confusion that made up the design, and made the change to emphasize my music more than my resume. There are […]

Embarking on a Renewed Journey: Reintegration and Human-Centric Design

In this blog post, I reflect on my journey of personal and professional transformation over the past year, including the challenges of overcoming a 25-year burnout and a nervous breakdown. I announce my return to the professional world, emphasizing my renewed commitment to human-centric design and leadership. I discuss my role in co-founding Midheaven Inc., a non-profit for community engagement through spirituality, art, and music. Despite the setbacks in my academic journey, I share insights gained from teaching graduate courses and my deep involvement in music and spirituality. I invite readers to view my updated resume and engage with my journey.

Drowning at her side

it finally became real the damage I’ve done to her voice, the lack of attention I’ve paid to her for real, and the responsibilities I’ve shirked, not just “in my madness” but during this process as I’ve been coming along, or she’s been dragging me along. I don’t know anymore. I didn’t intend to come […]

Faces of change: 2012 – 2022

This is the first part of a series about my lived experience of waking up after a 28-year identity break. I feel like I am finally home, and I am grateful for my experience, even if it seems like a hell. my life has been irrevocably changed for the better. Please read this with the […]

I Learned from my past to look forward from here

I went through old journal entries for inspiration tonight. I reminded myself of who I had been, pitfalls and traps I had fallen into, mirrors I wasn’t paying attention to. It’s painful to go back there, review that man’s thoughts as though they’re still mine. I think history is a useful tool in the long […]

To Asha

I have so many letters for you I’ve never sent … thoughts I don’t know how to communicate … wasted so many moments between us until there’s more distance than not … and now that I’m awakening I can see so clearly what I’ve done and how I squandered your love and it breaks my […]

Caveat

Rodent attached to pyramid with four eyes.

This is a very personal space of growth, healing, learning, sharing, and cobbling together a new path forward after spending decades as a Pettigrew-like sychophant. Mentally and emotionally abusive to those I love the most — including my partner, with whom I am deeply in love. In order for me to come to terms, to […]
