I know life isn't fair
While I am intellectually aware of this fact, I don't usually dwell on it. However, today I feel like there's a big ugly speaker loudly broadcasting an announcement at me. It's repeating: "Remember, life isn't fair. Don't expect it to be. Just go back to work." I HATE this message. I really do.

Fontaines DC
What do you think about these guys? It's only my opinion, but for me they are one of the most important band right now! Post Punk wave is one of the biggest revelation since early 2000!

Square
04 March 2025 Tariffs drop like pieces of lead in pencil points ripping boundaries, and generational contracts fading into unrecognizable cursive. Today starts navy before expanding into unrelated colors. Coffee brews. Pen on paper. Music through the speakers. My head jerks to the past few weeks or months when today…

Light Language/Linguistics - is band aware?
I'm just figuring out that I've been channeling light language as long as I can remember. Google it - it's really fascinating. I saw a reel of Ed dancing live in concerts and I'm CONVINCED he has done it, too. Light language can be expressed vocally, with hands (think mudras), dancing, various forms of art, produced in…

Rescind dangerous words and close your drooling wallet. Some New Year resolutions falter but this memo crashes. I know the spoken word, united AGs defend states vernacularly.

Sharing a poem that will feature in my forthcoming poetry book this year that I am dedicating to PJ
In honor of Pearl Jam's new and amazing album Dark Matter and the tour about to launch, I want to share a poem I wrote a few years ago that happens to share the same title. How I love that this is the title of their new album! It is about leaving my abusive husband and the life I'd known with him, devoted to him and…

I bought in a record shop in Spokane Washington about 10 years back a local artist had made this and it’s a piece on the band the guy only made 2 and luckily I was able to get one it’s definitely a cool piece on the left you have Eddie…

The day after
The day after even the weather was awful grey and dreary the sky was crying oh, the clouds were fitting I felt heartbroken on Wednesday morning while Monday night there was so much hope in the air, and Tuesday was a surprisingly bright day: with sun shining, birds singing, leaves turning red, orange and yellow by the…

There's a blank page and I'd like to fill it
Do you remember when the place was hoppin’? Full of an assortment of beautiful souls and kooks Some were noisy odd ballers, others were quietly profound and sincere I often felt lost in the crowd Or, at least, somewhat hidden despite my Valentine sleeves Just, a cheerful chatterbox Being driven by love ever hopeful I…

Smoke signals from a neighboring island
Smoke signals from a neighboring island Or maybe dots and dashes tapped out on a Marconi machine? some idea of mine that needs to be catapulted into an open canal It needs to be released Doors kept shut too long need to be unstuck Junk drawers can’t hold everything forever Boxes can’t keep piling up in a closet! If I was a…

We struck up a conversation because he had a Pearl Jam Binaural tour shirt on in philosophy class.…

spontaneous adaptation
I've got nothing prepared but I can improvise and adapt to unexpected disaster drive my car through that crashing downpour wondering, how deep can I let this water get before I need to pull off the road? is it a good idea to put on the blinkers? up north it was different weather, but the same plan on the road a treacherous…

All That Is
In all that is nature That is lush and wet and green Or hot and dry, brown and dead And the many brilliant colors in-between Where the bird on the wire who is resting there Takes fight at the sight of me Where the sunlight meets a field of grass Where the moon reflects on the sea In all that is cosmic That is bright and…

Passion, Presence, Pouring Out
They are getting older Eddie’s hair, dyed brown to hide the gray He still climbs around on stage but with a few missteps and a little less balance Ed forgets the lyrics at one point mid song “Help me out” he shouts Turns to Jeff who sings his lyrics back to him Turns around and turns it up He’s right back in it Shakes off…
