Well, this has been my most trying year as a father. So many times I felt like I had failed. I’ve always said, parenting is about consistency. 1 – Consistently being a good role model. I have 3 daughters, so my challenge is to treat them they way I want their husbands to treat them…that […]

A lot of people don’t realize that Shania Twain’s father, Mark, was actually a pretty good writer.

To know me enough to really get me you need to listen to the following 5 albums:

  • Welcome to my Nightmare – Alice Cooper
  • Gordon – Barenaked Ladies
  • Bitches Brew – Miles Davis
  • The Meantime – Randall Bramblett
  • God Shuffled His Feet – Crash Test Dummies

If I wore a red MAGA hat, would you hate me? If I told you that I voted for Hillary and thought Trump was an illegitimate president, would you block or unfriend me? If I was steadfast Pro-Life, would you wish me dead? What if I was gay, would you see me different, so different […]

I can’t really say this too much but my three daughters are amazing. I am so proud of them always. During the ups they show their character by always being humble. During the downs they show their character by being strong and always persevering. All three of them have spent time helping the homeless and children with special needs. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is getting the best of me, they give me strength. The greatest thing I’ve ever known is being a father.

I love you;
I’m here for you;
And you are worth it!

Since there are more Chinese people than any other race on Earth, does that mean they have normal eyes and we have big crazy googly ones?

Jordan Barry Recording Session

A great day at Brighter Shade Studio with Jordan Barry and team. Jordan is talented beyond her years. — with Mike Rizzi, Greg Lee, Mark Dannells,Jordan Barry, Mark Bencuya and Jacob Walter. She is my niece and she is amazing. A brilliant singer and songwriter, watch out world, she is coming for you!

When they ask me in a job interview what my greatest weakness is, I always say that I can’t open my eyes under water.

I am working on something big…really really big. I can’t tell you what it is…but I will tell you at a distant time in the future, that will actually never come. But, my gracious big things are in the works. I’m not a big deal yet…but…you might as well start treating me like I am because what’s about to happen, this thing in the works, that I can’t mention, is epic. Also, Prayers Please. I can’t tell you any details, but it’s for a friend, I can’t tell you their name…or even their preferred pronoun…but please pray…in great generalities for a person that doesn’t exist…I mean that does exist but needs prayer. I am posting this request because I want everyone to know what a great empathetic person I am. Also, and you know who you are, I will never forgive you. You can fool me once, or twice, or thrice, or even frice, but never more than frice. Forgiveness is for those who seek it….and I’m waiting. Until then you evil straw-man, forever be gone.

HI MOM. YOU’RE GONNA BE SO PROUD. I JUST WON AN ARGUMENT ON THE INTERNET. Sorry caps lock was still on from the argument. But I won.

I still use my laptop to post on social media. Also, I ride my horse through the shire to get to the blacksmith.

Friends, I have a confession to make. There have been times, a lot of them actually, where I have lied to you, and I’m truly ashamed. Many many times I have indicated that I’ve ‘laughed out loud’ or, more recognizable in it’s short form, ‘LOL’ without actually laughing out loud at all. Sometimes I only smile inside a little (SIaL). One time, sometime near Christmas, I replied with a LOL to a pretty unfunny post out of pure sympathy (LOLooPS) when what I was really doing was shaking my head (SMH). This lack of integrity (LOI) has caused me great consternation and photosynthesis (i like big words). From here on out I promise to be more precise with my acronyms, more up front, more honest, acronym transparent if you will. If I post a LOL then I actually laughed out loud for realz…as the kids say. If I SMH then I actually shook my head back and forth and probably sighed a little (SAL). Please accept my sincere apology (MSA) and I only hope that over time I can regain your trust. If you can’t trust a mans acronyms, is he really a man, I think not (ITN). #AcronymTruth

If no one said they love you today. Here you go. I love you and I hope you’re doing well and you continue on doing great things because the world needs you and you are important.

I don’t share this “real hate crimes won’t be believed now” concern

Real hate crimes are just that- real. They sound that way. They’re plausible. The facts add up. They are heinous.

But this was -always- obviously fake. It has no effect on what’s real. It changes nothing.

How did I know it was fake you ask… come on, everyone knows that if you kick someone’s ass you get to eat their sandwich. I’ve lost a couple of good sandwiches that way!

I’m 50 and I’m single on Valentine’s Day. But, I have a great job, I have a great dog, my three daughters are happy and doing very well, I like myself (that one took longer than it should have), i’m still making music with some of the best musicians this city has to offer, I love doing my podcast and I live in the greatest city in the world. So… happy Valentine’s Day to me and to all of you. It’s a great life. I’m hugging myself right now, it’s kind of awkward, but it feels nice. There there buddy, let it all out. You’ll feel a lot better in the morning.

War is peace. 
Freedom is slavery. 
Ignorance is strength.

Okay, I’ve been away for a few hours. Am I the Governor of Virginia yet?
