It has been beautiful and depressing. The summer provides us with such beauty, and the water is still warm.
Everyone has gone, back to their respective homes.
An hour away, and keep driving that way.
Home.
The colors take over on that desolate shore.
No one is even remotely close.
My mind is At ease.
My mind is at Ease.
But I am contradicting my mind.
dont let it take control.

On songwriting

popculture-and-i:
It feels nice to pick up the guitar to play. I have to try really hard not to think “Is this the lifestyle I want? Do I want to have this as my career?” which is insane. Like, most people would be pretty happy to just sing a song for themselves, maybe at a few local nights. Why do I have to either do it as 100% my entire life aspiration or not at all?

life is beautiful
So things are going, along, and along. I am working a new job, and I must say I enjoy it, very much so. Its on the beach, everyone that works there is chill, and I am getting money lol.
Music is coming along…. I am writing more material at the moment, I dont want to rush my full length album. I want to perfect it, I want to make it as good as it can possibly be. I refuse to release...

Music and change.
So its spring and the music is flowing. I recently started doing some more recording and i am very excited with what is to come. I have a few new songs that I cannot wait to share with all of you. I am also booking a lot of shows for the next few months and as soon as I get concrete dates I will let everyone know. In the mean time. Keep jammin, keep loving, and just enjoy life.

Bummin. but ill keep my head up high.
So, its been about 4 days now and my collar bone is broken and I cant surf or play guitar. I am trying to play guitar as much as i can but strumming is a problem. Its making me very upset because I feel completely helpless right now and I cant stand not being able to do things for myself and having other people help me. I just want this to be done with. GOod news on the other hand, I have my...

yea whatever.
so today was a pretty fucking bad day. I am ready to leave. ive been pondering on the idea for so long but i think its finally time to get out. I cant stand it here and everyone is the same. so therefore i am out. As soon as i find a place out of new jersey i am leaving. and it is coming not soon enough. im just sick of this fucking hellhole of a state, ive lived in a few different places in...

If the walls in the room could talk I wonder to myself would they lie It’s like some kind of jail Fall from the curtains onto the bed I’m all alone now, I can do as I please I don’t feel like doing much of anything True love ain’t that hard to find Not that you will ever know Would you lay here for awhile? Please, do not let me go Please, do not let me go You were sweet...

or just another empty line.
goodmorning day, goodmorning music.
What started out to what I thought was going to be a relaxing night, most likely involving sitting on my couch, smoking, drinking, playing guitar, watching old dvds, and falling asleep. Well not this time. Poker was always fun, win some loose some. I became friends with the owner of a bar in ac and now he is hosting my cd release party at his bar. I was in a very outgoing mood, its been awhile...

or is it really difficult to try and explain to a non-Ryan fan why you’re such a Ryan fan?
note: this question goes to Ryan fans only.
It is very difficult, NO ONE really knows who he is and they just think I am completely obsessed. I will say I have converted many to the side of the cardinals. But to try and explain why we are fans like we are is impossible. they wont know...

what am i searching for?
I dont know where she is
let alone who she is.
but i need her.
i see her there, but not at all.
ill search and search.
end up spending my time
looking for her
song? maybe.
The first to scream “no one cares”
She didnt believe in anything.
she swears not a soul is listening.
not one will ever listen.
did they ever care?
does this ever stop.
nothing is going to be the same
the girl is not made of stone.
And mom doesnt know where she has been,
calling for days, rings never end.
Wont reply to messages i sent.
off to the party. lose her mind.
