When you roll out of bed, throw on some sweatpants, and as you pass the mirror, notice the back pocket is in front, it’s time get on your style!

One of my FB friends called out “sheeple” and I thought of this quote, from an essay by Andre Dubus, about his adventure “sheep-sitting” in NH.. (:  “And Christ called us his flock, his sheep: there were pictures of him holding a lamb in his arms. His face was tender and loving, and I grew up with a sense of those feelings, of being a source of them: we were sweet and lovable sheep. But after a few weeks in that New Hampshire house, I saw Christ’s analogy meant something entirely different. We were stupid, helpless brutes, and without constant watching would foolishly destroy ourselves.” -Andre Dubus “Out Like a Lamb”

The annual “running of the pre-1st-snow shoppers” caught me off guard at my 2 fav supermarkets.. My late night quick runs are chill and productive.. but tonight Whole Foods was wholly full, and the parked parking lot at Stop and Shop meant no stopping, or shopping, for me! (:

Was in Coffee Exchange the other night (where RI goes to think :)) discussing “bands” with a friend. He said a REAL band is a bassist, drummer and a mix of front people.. I said that idea, now, is a bunch of hippies who just cleaned out a Best Buy!! He was not amused..

found this uplifting quote on a sonicbids blog.. “Accuracy and skill can be replicated, but your unique voice is something that can never be replaced….When you find your voice, you’ll enter a zone free of judgment or rejection. Instead of getting onstage and feeling cautious and tentative, you’ll approach it with bravery and confidence. To find this voice, we have to go back to creativity and courage. These qualities have to be harvested. Forget about what others think. Instead, focus your attention on your own expectations. Eventually, you’ll find yourself performing with confidence and even delivering more emotional performances. You’ll play the notes you feel you should play, and not just the ones you think everyone wants to hear.”
