When I started this Tumblr I was 23.

I turned 36 a couple days ago.

Holy shit

I started to play THE LAST OF US for the first time (the game), and after an hour it is just too stressful to continue for the night.

In 2007, I traded in my 2006 Fender Classic Series ‘65 Mustang Reissue for a Strat, and despite all I learned on that guitar, I’ve kicked myself ever since for letting go of the Mustang.

Miraculously I found one from that very line at Atomic Music & bought it today! It was made a year apart from the one I had originally, and it’s just a total player & a dream. Also the Crafted in Japan quality is still as slick & solid as I remembered it to be.

I am consciously trying to avoid the "great things are happening" project status type of update, but for just this once I would like to say that I am writing an album currently and am preparing to demo songs.

I had this moment while writing music tonight where I sang something a certain way and it reminded me of some band that I really don't like and it completely dismantled a song with rippling effects on others, like a windstorm blowing the scaffolding off of a building under construction.

Shit's painful, but I'm gonna rebuild.
