Got up early enough to try to knock out an entry. It’s been very steady lately. Can’t really say I’ve been able to sit idle at all. Doing a lot of programming and composing, just trying to knock out some new, fresh ideas. I think I may have painted myself into a corner with this record. Here it is, over half complete, and I continually find myself doubting if any of it’s any good. I don’t know if

Actually getting a few moments today to sit down and crank out a morning page. I really have to get back to this. Ever since starting the permanent day job, it's been really hard to get up any earlier to log entries. That either means I'm going to have to man-up and just wake earlier or start doing these at night. Thing about the morning pages is their supposed to be stream-of-consciousness

Woke up early enough to try to knock out a quick morning pages entry. I'm sorry it's been so long since the last one. Week is starting off on the wrong foot, literally. Saturday, my ankle was giving me fits for reasons I can't explain. I suffered through it all weekend, finally buying an ankle brace. The pain's subsided a bit, but it's still frustrating because I have no idea why it hurts or

Wow. It's been a while. Lots of stuff going on. A milestone birthday came and went. Not as traumatic as I thought it would be, and truth to tell it sort of passed by as a non-event. Not as many friends were able to make the party as I'd hoped, so I'm hoping to connect with a lot of those people soon.Big month for the band. We've got the IE Jazz and R&B Fest this weekend in Moreno Valley. Should

Wanted to take some time today to plug some of my recent comic book work. I'm proud to announce that I have a story coming out in the soon-to-be-released ICONIC graphic novel from the Comicbook Artists Guild. The concept of ICONIC is simple: new twists on old tales of classic literature and history. The heroes in ICONIC are folks you're already familiar with: Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood, St.

I know it's been a long time since I've logged in here, and I'm sorry. I could blame all those things: busy, busy, yadda, yadda; but it's all a load of crap. I've needed to knuckle down and get to writing, and it's high time I did so.So, overall, things have been going pretty well. Really well, in fact, on a musical end. The band is probably the highlight of the past few weeks. The fellas are

So, how the hell do I start?Oh, hell. We totally killed it!Words cannot begin to describe how well things went last night @ Genghis Cohen. It was simply a near-perfect night. Not a perfect gig--at least on my part--but pretty damn near. Pretty much everything that could have gone right last night did. It was a nice change of pace. After a couple years of playing one-man-stupid-cover-gigs at

Well, today's the day.Really crossing my fingers that all the begging and bribing I've been doing will pay off in actual butts in seats. Sure, everyone says “I'll be there.” But it's really not until downbeat that I'll truly know who's simply give me lip service or who's serious about supporting. This is the worst part about being a musician. Day was, I used to believe there was a “if you build

Carpooling again. What a fantastic way to get a little writing done.Well, it's official. We're in the two-week window where I'll really start pushing the Genghis Cohen gig. That's right, on Thursday the 26th I'll be bringing the band to LA and rocking the stage. So please let this go out as a general call to everyone with the in the view of this blog that lives in the greater Los Angeles area. I

I always say it's been a minute. Well, it's been a minute.Carpooling with the girl today. Instant advantage is that I can sit in the passenger seat and write while she drives. It's a better way for me to take care of business on what is usually a wasted hour while I commute to work. In New York it was easier: sit on the subway and take care of whatever work I had.

So last night I was one of the reported $4.5 million worth of people that attended the midnight screening to Watchmen. Overall I was pretty happy with the results of what is being touted as the greatest comic book movie of all time. Much like the movie, I'm going to try to cram a lot of information in a little amount of time and give you the best quickie review I can given my impressions on about

I wish I could be one of those people, but I'm not.

Wow. It's been awhile since I knuckled down and did a morning page. So here goes...It's a been a fairly productive 2009 so far. I think the best thing I did for myself in my New Year resolutions was to seriously manage my time and goals. I cut a lot of fat/projects that didn't serve me directly and also took steps to make my marriage and personal relationships more of a priority. The improvement

The following is my diatribe on recent developments in the comic book industry since Diamond Comics Distribution announced they are raising the sales requirements (AKA "benchmark) for publishers to $2500. If publishers do not generate this number on their purchase orders their book will more than likely be pulled out of Diamond's catalog, and the purchase order may not even be filled. This move

This one is going to be short and sweet.Coming in from a night of camaraderie and libation, feeling like I've seriously come home for probably the first time in a long time.With a new year brings new promise. It feels like I've spent the past year clearing my life of the debris of my past existence, making room for the vast expanse of a tremendous future.(Yes, long-winded and lofty. Bear with me.

I know it's been awhile since I posted. And there's no decent excuse, although I'll more than likely try to make some up. To be honest, I needed to take some time to recharge and relax.

It's been a good minute.Figured I was due to take to some time off of blogging. That and I've been very busy with other projects. And there was a certain amount of drama swirling around me that I decided I needed to shake.

Wow, sorry it's been so long.I literally haven't had a minute to write. Ok, lame excuse. But I guess I've been doing a lot of living and took an accidental break from journaling. Shouldn't happen again. It also shows a lack of discipline, and that's the kind of thing I'm trying to break.I've been all over the map, truth to tell. Been nabbing one-man music gigs just to stay fresh. It's annoying

Lots on my mind, no real organization, but want to get it down simply because that's what morning pages are for.First and foremost: glad to be alive.

Wow, it's been a minute.Have been so tied up personal health concerns lately that I've been missing my journaling routine. Today, fortunately I woke up early enough to correct that.But, to be honest--and I won't say I was blocked because I don't buy into block--but I do believe that a great deal of my own creative engine is also tied to my confidence. And that, as of late, has been hanging pretty

Continuing from yesterday, here is the rest of my tribute to my favorite Blue Eyed Soul artists:David PackProbably one of the most under-appreciated of his era. As Ambrosia's lead singer, Pack's style and voice were absolutely genre defining. He also did a number of solo stints in the 80's that were totally overlooked. This guy gets many props in my book.Paul CarrickAnother under-appreciated gem.

Gonna take this morning to talk about “Blue Eyed Soul.” Now, some folks love the term, others hate it. Myself, I find it makes it a lot easier to effectively tell people what kind of sound I have. Yes, of course, it's all Soul Music. But “Blue Eyed” is a distinction that only a few of us can truly pull off well. Here's my quick tribute to the best of the best:(I started this list, and I know I'm

Slowly dragging myself out of the funk I've been in. It was nice to have a good day out in the sun with the wife and mom-in-law yesterday. The Hermosa Beach Festival was a lot less insane than last year; actually manageable. I just remember last year it being hot, muggy, crowded, and impossible to traverse. Not only were we able to sample a good variety of food, we were also able to easily get

Right.This is the essence of the whole principal of the morning pages. I have absolutely no idea what the hell I'm going to write here today. As per previous entries, I've been pretty lethargic, depressed, and pretty much uninspired for the better part of a week or two. My creative drive has been reduced to squat, and my confidence is about non-existent. I really don't feel like I've got anything

Not a lot of time to journal today, but I wanted to begin getting my creative momentum back. Truth to tell, I've been a little lost, lonely and confused about a lot of things and I've shut up just about completely in an effort to deal with them. I've felt lethargic, depressed, nearly sick. What a terrible way to spend August--generally one of my favorite months.I've also been caught up in the

Not a lot of time to blog today, and since most of the time all I do is talk about myself in these pages I thought I'd go for something a little different.The great thing about the internet is how accessible content is nowadays. Combine that with some of the talented people I know and that makes for hopefully a pretty exciting entry. So here's a taste of some of the gifted folks I call

Man, it was hard to get up this morning. Probably because I was late getting to bed last night. I've also been taking Tai Chi lessons on Monday nights, and my instructor tells me that has a way of keeping up up and restless.I'm enjoying the Tai Chi very much; I just wish I could remember all the moves. So far we've gone from preparation to 'brush knee and strike right." My retention is terrible,

Ever have one of those dreams when there's a character in it about to dispense some kind of really important knowledge--something mind-shattering and truly earth-changing--when, all of a sudden, just as he's about to speak this ultimate pearl of wisdom, your alarm goes off?Welcome to my Monday. I hate those kind of dreams almost as much as the dream where you've met this amazingly beautiful woman

Sorry I missed yesterday, took a much-needed day for myself. Ended up hanging at the beach and having a great hang with my friend Scott. Nice to finally find a male friend out here that I feel I have a lot in common with.Anyway, this entry will more than likely be Part 2 of my “You're All Wrong” posting. You see, there was a reason I posted that the other day. I knew it was filled will anger,

Don't have as much time this morning to crank out the tirade I had planned, which is probably a good thing. Instead, I'll just go stream-of-consciousness and send a fairly brief message to all my detractors.You might remember a couple days ago I took the temperature here on how many people are still paying attention and/or support my endeavors. The response was somewhat light. But to those people

Ok, it's time to get back to it. I've spent enough time wallowing in depression, and frankly I'm sick of it. There's simply too much to do, and never enough time to do it.Today I'm thinking about a couple subjects, but first I want to discuss Robert Kirkman's Mission Statement. First of all, that's a misnomer. What he posted was not a true mission statement--something that outlines his personal

Don't have a ton of time this morning, but I did want to start getting back into the habit of journaling here again. It's been a rough couple of weeks, but I've worked out a lot of the issues that have kept me from recording my thoughts. I wish I could make them public, but I really needed to internalize to keep from upsetting certain parties.That said, at this point I am rallying for your

Yeah, it's about time I came back to explain some things.I've missed this process. I've missed being able to write without any real consequence or restriction. It's too bad that I've been self-censoring. I shouldn't have to do that, but I am ever conscious of pissing some person or rather off, so I've been keeping my trap shut. It was probably a wise move, because I really have some pretty

Just a quick note to let those that care that I'm alive and well. Feeling a little more hopeful about the week to come but still not inspired enough to write anything that's not going to come across as angry and bitter.So I'm just working on me for the moment. Thanks to those of you that have contacted me with your concern. It means a lot.

There are no words for how I'm feeling right now.So I have to try to magically conjure up some. I had promised myself I would leave negativity out of this journal, but there is so much going horribly wrong with me right now I really have nothing else to say. Plus, I just need to get the shit out. So, if you're expecting sunshine and roses today, I suggest you stop reading now and just wait for

Have no idea, really, what I want to write about this morning. Which makes is that much more important that I actually commit something to paper.It's funny. I saw a thread on the Bendis Board last night from a guy posting something like "Aaaaugh, I have writer's block." It's a term that I refuse to even dignify, and seeing things like that posted last night on the board make me just want to roll

Ok, back to it.Wow, already back to Monday again. And it's even almost the end of the month. I swear to God this year has flown by like wildfire.Puts me in a very sticky predicament. I'm actually really struggling to make ends meet right now. Still trying to recover from the purchase of the new computer, which I realize at this point might have been ill-advised. However, it's one of those "spend

Hello. Yeah, it's been while. Not much. How 'bout you?So, I've been pretty much under the radar, taking a few days off from journaling because I really didn't have too much good to say or how to say it. I wish I could say I've been busy. I wish I could say I was down in San Diego with my colleagues--that I'm kicking ass, taking names and making deals with highly influential people.I wish I could

This is one of those days where I just don't want to get out of bed.Still remarkably depressed and pissed off at everything. To add insult to injury, the G5 arrived with a broken hard drive. Am in contact with the eBay seller to resolve the matter. I'll keep you posted. But, so far, the unit is DOA.This is the first time I've had unsatisfactory results from upgrading via eBay, and I'm confident

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and then you have the facts of life.Which, right now, for me, truly blows.Not a lot to this entry today, because I'd rather keep things positive. And since I'm not feeling very positive today, I'm just going to shut the hell up.In other news: It's official. I won't be attending Comicon this year. More later.

Monday again. At least this week I'm actually beginning the week fresh as opposed to having a week-long dream prior to waking to the day.Weekend went by pretty effectively, in that I was able to accomplish nearly everything I needed to including a mid-summer cleaning of the house. Ok, I'll admit: my studio still needs to be cleaned. I would love to introduce my new G5 tower to a non-cluttered

Ok, lots to talk about, but I am in a rush, so I'll probably only touch on the superficial now and save the big announcements for tomorrow.So I saw The Dark Night yesterday. Was smart about it and went to an early Saturday showing. No lines, no worries of getting a ticket, and when I was done watching the nearly 3-hour spectacle, I still had the rest of the day to enjoy.SPOILERS START HERE. SKIP

Totally missed morning pages yesterday. I suck.The good news is that, with the exception of one glaring typo, QUANTUM 7 is pretty much done. Got some good responses to the ad hunt and was able to give life to Times Square that was definitely needed. Here's a teaser of the end result:Thanks go to Tony Fleecs, Kody Chamberlain, Jeff UK and Susan Sores.So, pretty excited that it's finally Friday. I

In contrast to last week flying by, this week seems to be moving at a crawl.Ain't that just a bitch, the way it works. You spend a certain number of days with nothing to really look forward to, and those days seem to go by quicker than the ones when you have something really important you're looking forward to. Then it seems like the clock runs slower.I remarked last week about this same kind of

Well, except for getting a couple objective eyes to proof it, QUANTUM 7 is pretty much ready to send to the printers.It's a damn shame I don't have the money to print it right now.That's right, bonehead me, two weeks before ComicCon, spent all his money upgrading to this new G5 and now has no money to print this book that's been on hold for over two years.The end totally justifies the means, and

Monday again. Does it have to be Monday?I think I had a dream last night that lasted a whole work week, so I woke up believing it was Saturday again. Alas, it was Monday, and now I feel like I'm working two weeks without a break. Hopefully I can shake that feeling by the afternoon.Really weird dream involving former schoolmates and even the purple one himself, Prince. He was mentoring me and I

Damn, I totally missed a day again. Bad me.I guess I can make the excuse that I've actually been working pretty hard at putting QUANTUM 7 in the can. I've also been, god forbid, enjoying my weekend. My hate for California is steadily fading. While I kicked and screamed and nearly terminated my relationship to avoid moving out here, it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to absolutely loathe
