- Man this one
surprised me...
-
- In 2008, I ended up
reconnecting with a good chunk of my highschool friends
on Facebook and you suddenly come fact to face with what
everyone's expectations of you were back then... and
whether you achieved that. I had most certainly
NOT although I did have some cool achievements by
that point. Decidedly however, I was under-achieving
having just lost the CBS gig and being THRICE divorced...
it was clear life told me "No." The entry
from then is
pretty cool. This is what I love about The Journey
Project - these stories are good stories.
Relatable, interesting... and now? It turns into
this:
-
-
- Me ANOTHER 16
years later singing to THAT dude at 32 who was singing to
THAT dude at 16. And incredibly - I'm now known as the
guy in the super-stable relationship for 15 years,
happier than anyone and I look back at 32 year old me
like... who the fuck was that guy? Becuase I was
ALWAYS THIS GUY. I just didn't get dealt those
cards, ya know? Sometimes you just, don't, control who
you run into. And had Talya NOT crossed the street for
fancy tea? What the fuuuuuuuuck. It's maddening to think
how much your life depends on coincidence and chaos...
but it most assuredly does.
-
- But this piece of art
right here is really, really cool to me. I actually
filmed this last Saturday super quick and it was just
instantly "classic" to me. Not in the realm of art... but
in the blocks of my mind. It just feels like something I
planned out when in fact I really didn't. Before
I started any of this, I tried to design different
angles for videos to keep them interesting and this
mirror one was one I hadn't done. I threw it up - sang it
really quickly, and then it all came together in the
editing and looked totally pre-planned. Of COURSE this is
the video you sing to yourself in the mirror... unplanned
art rocks. Oh and the deadlines that force it to happen
are crucial as fuck. Yeah, 10 performances a month is
insane (10 in 20 days this month) but that pressure
creates moments like this.

- Good
stuff...
