Ten Years Ago A Door Closed

Ten years ago I spent my last day at my last job where I worked for almost 8 years. A lot has happened in these years but I’m grateful for all those who have been there along the way.

The Truth About Being Liked

This people-pleaser in rehab appreciates this. Not everyone will like you. Special people will.

Things That Blew Your Mind As A Kid

All of this is true. Especially when you see a teacher out in the wild. The universe is also a huge thing too.

The Rhythm Of Taylor Hawkins

Rhythm is a part of life. In music, it can be everything. Every ensemble or band has to have someone to create a rhythm that can get people dancing. Taylor Hawkins was that person for the rock band Foo Fighters. He died last week when the band was on a world tour. He was an amazing drummer who made his band so much better. From what I understand he was a really good person.

It’s rare when you have a band with two legendary drummers including Dave Grohl who was the drummer for Nirvana. Foo Fighters will have to find a way forward to make the rhythm happen once again. Rest in power Taylor. Your talent will live on.

Good Tuesday Morning Wherever You Are

Have a great day and all that stuff. Enjoy the morning until it becomes afternoon. Well I guess it’s morning somewhere all the time.
