Take Aways
October 28, 2004: I just came back from a five day trip to the Bay Area to satisfy some training requirements of my day job. The training was interesting in so far as the context, but here were the real "take-aways," to use some corporate speak: I read Philip Sudo's "Zen Guitar." This was recommended by Michael W.…

Force Of Nature
October 17, 2004: Man oh man, but I do love Godzilla. I'd say it's a guilty secret, except that I have no guilt and I don't keep it a secret by any means. I get a very deep sense of well-being and satisfaction when I see a Godzilla movie. Any Godzilla movie... except the one made by that…

Choices
October 9, 2004: Well, it just occurred to me that I can write about things in a way that I can't in the "Founder's Corner" at MWS Media. It's a matter of context, see. MWS Media is my business, it's where I focus on a very specific part of my art -- supporting and encouraging DIY folks and…

What’s In A Name
October 9, 2004: "Scribtotum" is my piss-poor latin word meaning "To write many things." I just didn't want to call this a blog, you know?

Another One
March 24, 2004: This one's more of a rocker... the type of song I sing acoustic that used to drive REDACTED crazy: "You're wasting these songs by not having a band!!!!" Feh. Thanks for not wanting to be my friend after I left your band, REDACTED. Where's my video, REDACTED? Maybe to sing Making a sign Cuts the…

Hey, I Just Wrote A Song
March 24, 2004: It's probably the first full song I've written in a year or so. Culled from a couple of false starts and listening to lots of Son Volt, Eleventh Dream Day, and Go-Betweens. As should be expected, it doesn't sound much like any of 'em. Called "It Will Matter," here are the lyrics: Can I talk…

Dream
March 19, 2004: Well, this one was particularly bizarre and vivid. It started with my old friend Roger and I showing up at a house apparently shared by greenplaid and a young Demi Moore. For whatever reason, we were there the night before a trip to Disneyland. Roger and I were supposed to sleep in the kitchen, which…

Damn, Maybe It Is Just A Box of Freakin’ Chocolates!
February 29, 2004: I think I'm becoming less cynical as I get older. This is strange, because I don't think it's supposed to work that way. I look at some of the people I know who are older than me, and by and large I see depression, world-weariness, and of course cynicism. Now, I have my sadness, my…

Early Morning
February 17, 2004: A couple of hours ago, I saw my wife off on a short business trip to Northern California. Even though it was five AM, I couldn't go back to sleep. Got some coffee going, fed the dog and let him out, and found myself in the musing mood that usually comes to me in the…
