Looking for Holiday music?
The only reason I can think of for my follower count doubling in the past month is people adding me from the Musicians starter pack.
Well, if you’re looking for music, check out this EP of three Holiday songs that I wrote and recorded with some wonderful people.

I don’t remember a birthday or Christmas that I didn’t have to perform happiness for the comfort of others. It’s exhausting.
I’m sorry. Wishing the best for you.

Okay, seriously everything I know about the politics of 21st Venezuela has come from mainstream American media which I kinda feel like isn’t the best.
Anybody wanna hook me up with some primers? (will be doing independent research regardless but I’d value any insight you good people have to share.)

When I buy a pint of ice cream at the liquor store late at night, the clerk puts it in a black plastic bag as if I’m buying porn.

And, you know what?, that’s the right thing to do. I appreciate that level of professionalism.

The way American Catholics have become so Conservative, I’m waiting for the old school sedevacantists to actually start going door to door to recruit converts.
“Hello, do you have time to hear about our church of Catholics who hate the Pope?”

Mel Gibson should totally be making this his moment.
