When I was younger, I based the amount a band “rocked” by thunderous crashing guitars and drums. Well, this simply isn’t the case anymore… so what has changed? Me.

In recent years, I’ve experienced a great collection of music I wouldn’t have given a second chance 13 years ago during my MetalGlamMulleted Days in Southern California.

There are so many multi-talented musicians and clever songwriters with an on-stage energy that rivals any huge, impressive sound and light production around. That’s what is impressive to me now.

Don’t get me wrong, I still love thunderous crashing guitars and drums but there’s a lot more to music than just that. Just my two cents.

Now back to your regular scheduled program… oh and ROCK ON!!!!

Don’t go to bed angry with the ones you love and care about. If there’s a problem, do your best to work it out before you go to bed. If you’re sorry, say you’re sorry. If you love someone, tell them. If you forgive them, tell them.

Life is to short and you might never get the chance to tell someone you’re sorry, that you love them, care for them or you forgive them. I made this mistake before when my grandfather died this past March and I’m so sorry I did not spend more time with him during his last days. I will not do it again… so with that said… I want to say “I’m sorry, I love you, I care for you, I forgive you.”

This post is meant for my family, friends and loved ones… you know who you are.

I never took – I never gave
I never needed anything before
I never dreamed – I never have
I never asked the man upstairs for more

The situation never crossed my mind
The conversation seemed a waste of time
The allegations love to make it a crime
What the hell am I doing wrong?

Push… they keep telling me
Push… they keep telling me
How do you want your life to groove?
In Full Circle

I’m out of touch – I’m out of mind
No matter what the hell I’m burned out
I want to live – I want to give
Got an awful taste that stains my mouth

Push… they keep telling me
Push… they keep telling me
How do you want your life to groove?
In Full Circle

Well as many of you know, I’m a song writer and I get inspired by events around me and things that happen to friends and loved ones… and there’s a lot going on around me these days… so without any further ado:

No use pretending, let’s tell it like it is
You just took advantage when I gave all I had to give
After one to many battles, I got tired of the fight
Each time we were together, was like walking on thin ice
Couldn’t make it happen, no matter how hard I tried
Decided it’s impossible to keep you satisfied
Our love was like a candle, slowly dying in the wind
You can’t hold on, when the feelings gone
Now we’ve finally reached the end
I step out of the darkness and leave it all behind
Now I’m ready for a new life

Don’t need the pressure, I refuse to play the game
I won’t be around to jump next time you call my name
I’ll take my chances, I’ll take it day by day
Let the curtain fall, I’m out of love, That’s all
Now there’s nothing left to say
Learning from the changes, got my feet back on the ground
Nothing is ever gonna stop me now
