“Going Deaf”
It was impossible to get her to remove her hands from her head. She was terrified and kept asking “but what will happen to my ears!!??” hence the title.
Anytime I’m in a rut and out of inspiration I can always count on Grey
to slap me out of it, give her a follow you wont regret it.
…and then Ryan had the genius idea for me to stick my head in the water and come back up like a beautiful mermaid and I got water up my nose and choked and almost died.
I gotta be honest, I’ve been recording in my living room, naked, with Dr. Phil on the television, on mute, tangled in wires, lazily strumming, with little to no motivation to actually make a proper recording. I want the finished product, believe me, I’m just slightly incapable of producing it. I can write a song, I can compose a song, I can sing a song, but when it comes to the digital act of recording I get pretty frustrated. I’m sorry for all the rough drafts and promise to have a concrete, downloadable EP soon. Until then, please enjoy this rough draft of Marrow. And if you are a musician who would like to offer up your talents to help me complete this album, hit me up!

Flower Child
I have a new sketchbook. And new watercolors. And new cheesy things to doodle.
After a wonderful evening, sitting in the presence of Amma (spiritual leader and guru) and finally being embraced by her, I met another teacher of mine, Kelly Cutrone. I loved watching her in The City and Kell on Earth, but I mostly love her for her two books, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside and Normal Gets You Nowhere. Both books spoke to me, telling me exactly what I needed to hear and teaching me all I needed to know. She is an inspiration to me, a hero. I feel so blessed to have met her, especially during such a wonderful event. We had a great conversation and shared a few hugs. She is as amazing and strong as she is on camera and print. <3
