Re-wiring my brain daily, retired record store guy, indie punk band guy, sometimes I think it, sometimes I write it down. And sometimes I turn the page. Real secondary character energy here. https://buymeacoffee.com/jpo1960j

When the line slides most of the way over to the antithetical side of the diagram, the Will is strong and the Creative Mind is weak; a person in this condition pays little attention to what is, and throws all his or her energy into creating what he or she thinks should be.

What did I say…..failure is part of life. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. As long as we build on it, it lessens the pain. So, let’s go.

It’s show and tell time, not kindergarten time. The shadow can make things hard if it goes unacknowledged. Please embrace the darkness.

It’s all a hoax, isn’t it?
Fake it til you make it.
Think and grow rich.
I’m ok, you’re ok
Men are from earth
Women are from earth
We can’t survive anywhere else
For what it’s worth

Amanda Pearl Shires is “Nobody’s Girl.”

This is a masterpiece. She has hit a very high mark with this record of breaking up and moving on to rebuild your life on your own terms. Pointed invective and heartbroken vignettes. Plain spoken and cathartic.

Smoky Vinyl from Amanda Shires for her new lp on ATO Records. “Nobody’s Girl” Webstore edition

So happy to be my age. Old age not..
New age, don’t let it deceive you, pull the plug, don’t let it rule
You put me in a corner, while you’re trying to keep order
