Especially last week I’m sitting here writing this thinking that this time last week I wouldn’t even be awake for another hour and a half. Seriously, after eight hours of driving with only a few breaks, it was some much-needed rest. Not that I’m complaining of course. I made these plans and chose to have these endeavors. And if I was complaining, that would totally contradict the point of this entry. I am speaking specifically about the topic of my last entry (which was actually the press release I wrote, with a few corrections) the Annual Bravofest show I have been helping put together to help raise funds for the Veteran's Charity Homes For Our Troops by holding a music festival with some of New York's & New England's best independent bands.

Hello All, I know last week’s post somewhat contradicts what I’ve said before about listening to what others have to say. Because good or bad it does taint your actions.

The videos We’re not in embedded properly so that you could just see them on this page. Same went for a few of the links I put up. So for those of you who were among those who looked at it soon after I posted it, I apolog...

Hello again everyone, Im sure by now the phrase "its been awhile since my last post" is becoming a cliche. Most bloggers are very consistent with their entries (like I once was) but things always throw us off course even if we try our best to not let them. I'll have to blame the issues I have been facing with PTSD and Depression . These may not seem like valid reasons to not continue writing but it has actually even effected my reading, believe it or not. Many don't understand (or want to understand) how crippling it can be. That's mainly why I haven't been blogging. Truthfully, I didn't even know what I was going to write and this wasn't the first time. If the recent past has taught me anything its that things will work out and come to you when they are supposed to. These things that make life difficult, and heartbreaking or for some make you question whether or not it's worth going on usually shape us into who we are. And for us creative ty...
