The Mess: 4.12.22

No excuses

I failed.

I missed a day

I let myself down.

I couldn't take 5 minutes

And write something down,

A ritual that I've created

Every Tuesday

Every Thursday.

The magic only works

With full commitment.

Perhaps that is where I got lost

Lip service to dedication

Without the desire in my heart

And in my soul.

Well consider this

A rededication;

Like a building getting a new name

It is reborn in spirit,

While remaining the exact fucking same.

TCF Bank Stadium

Is now Huntington Bank Stadium;

Mariucci Arena is now

3M Arena at Mariucci,

A far more stupid name.

Like serious THAT is the best they could come up with?

Hopefully I can be better

I HAVE to be better.

That seems like a real low bar to me.

In the sake of being better

Of pushing myself further,

I am currently finishing

Two new songs.

Both are similar together

In their message

That it would be wrong of me to separate them.

Both of them are loud,

Both of them are guitar driven,

Both of them are about growing up

What may be cliche to the pop punk genre

But feel very important to me

The ever present "This Town".

Both of these songs

Handle this town, but

Do it in vastly different ways.

One is a scathing critique,

While the other

Just wants to burn it all down.

These words like gasoline,

Those strums like striking matches

Watch the whole damn thing

Go out in a roaring blaze.

Still no excuses.

Two songs is not the reason I missed a post.

I had plans that were postponed due to weather

And it was not the reason I missed it.

No the reason I missed it,

Is simple.

I missed it.

There was no rhyme

There was no reason.

I just did not do it.

And that is inexcusable.

I need to hold myself to a higher standard

The same high standard

I would hold to other people

Who work with me.


In other news I am seeing a show tonight at the Entry

I am very excited for it,

And once again

I am mostly going for the Opener.

Someone who will play for like a half an hour tops.

But I have no shame and have been looking forward

To this for weeks.

The artist is Kayleigh Goldsworthy,

And I predict weeks prior to her album's release,

That it will be one of the most listened to things of 2022

For me.

And I will enjoy it every single time.

The three songs that are out so far, are all incredible.

They all hit me in the feels

And they all sound really good.

Her voice in all of these is honestly my favorite.

She is pulling double duty,

Playing her own set

While also being in the headliner's band.

Wearing multiple hats

Is a life that I very much relate to.


As with anything new to me

I will try to maintain an open mind

With the other acts on the ticket.

I have listened to NONE of their music

And really hope to enjoy what I hear

Live and in person.

The best(?) way to experience music.

Even though I have been really loving

Getting back into listening to vinyl.

Every day after work I've been playing a couple records

Front to back

And real loud.

I think I may need a subwoofer,

But that addition can wait for now.

For now it is all about building

My spark for creation,

Into a full blown inferno.

I think my project after these two songs

Will be even bigger.

A full EP, or even more.

Like with everything,

One step at a time.

Another One?

So, I guess I am doing this again. Sending out my thoughts into the void. I do not know why, but writing these, actually helps me feel...

I am back?

Well this is weird. I know it has been a long time. More than one year of silence. What have I been doing? Good question, tonight at ten....
