In the last 2 years I quit doing gigs I hated, attended Film School in Los Angeles for 6 months, got married, started a family, and moved to Nashville to pursue my songwriting/producing dream. Now, I’m literally working toward that dream with some little successes along the way and I’m optimistic about bigger ones to come. No matter what, everyday is filled with the satisfaction that I’m getting better at my craft and art and I’m doing what I want to do within that art. You really can’t ask for anything more, can you?

I’m living proof it’s never too late to go after your dreams, no matter what anyone else tells you. Here’s to hoping 2012 kicks ass for all of us!

It Ain’t Enough

It Ain?t Enough-E 3/13/11

I used to think that love was easy, I used to think that life was fair I used to be so naive that I thought I could see things that just weren?t there I want to believe in something, I need to believe in truth I guess it depends how it looks at the end of all the wanderings of youth

But I wanna know, why?ya so lonely But I wanna know, why?ya so Blue……. But I wanna know, why?ya angry Oh Baby Ya got so much, but It ain?t enough

Ya thought you?d be something special, they taught ya to believe in yourself Ya thought you were someone who?d change the world but you?re just like everybody else You needed to find a purpose, You wanted to feel alive

You tried to forget you lost your dream to the struggle of tryin to survive

Chorus Lead over Chorus

Now I don?t know much about contentment, But I know it?s hard to find but I hope someday it comes my way, It?d be big load off my mind Now I know you?ve got some questions, so honey get in line I guess we?re supposed to try to figure it out while we walk the earth deaf and blind

But I wanna know, why am I lonely But I wanna know, why am I Blue……. But I wanna know, why am I angry Oh Baby I got so much, but It ain?t enough

It ain?t enough, why am i lonely It ain?t enough, why am I Blue……. It ain?t enough, why am I angry Oh Ya know I got so much, but It ain?t enough

If I Could Sing The World A Song

Skinny Dippin’

Pat Tillman was an idealist and he was a hero. Albeit a naive one in the beginning. It didn’t take him long to wise up though. He figured things out very quickly during his first tour in Iraq. That the war was illegal and all of it was a bunch of bullshit. Good for him. He just wanted to do his time and get out, move on with his life. Maybe get back into the NFL. He could have done it and never even gone to Afghanistan where he would meet his untimely demise by friendly fire. However, Pat was a man of integrity who believed he made a commitment and would finish what he started. Pat Tillman never made it back from Afghanistan in 2004. That was a shame but Pat knew what the risks were. He was naive in the beginning, sure but even when he figured it all out he decided to finish what he started. That proved to be in my opinion, his mistake.

No, I have a few more years on Tillman and at this point I can say I would have gotten out after Iraq just like he had the opportunity to do, gone public with all the lies he knew and his first hand experience. Fucking criminals worse than Hitler..Actually who’s parents and relatives supported, financed and propped up dictators such Hitler and many others, run this country and run the world and fuck being one of their tools. When I was very young and stupid I too joined the Army. I’m not all gung ho and proud because I did it for idealist reasons. No..I was ignorant of how the world truly worked and I know now I was lucky to have had an injury to my shoulder in training that resulted in a Honorable Medical Discharge. I was lucky because I could have easily been a well meaning brainwashed casualty of an unjust action just like Pat Tillman.

The book and film really upset me and I felt for Tillman’s family. I feel for all our soldiers families. That said, unfortunately I hold little hope of anything changing for the better in this country. No. This is just the beginning of hard times. Smoke em if ya got em.

P.S. If you’re one of those assholes who think Artists should shut the fuck up and just play our guitars or paint, act, etc..Go fuck yourself! We are Americans first and foremost and are entitled our opinions just as much as the next person. Artists may be the only hope we have as a catalyst for social change and awareness. We are living in Orwellian times and it just might take truth seeking artists to help the blind see the forest. So, I will get back to writing and singing my songs about truth, social injustice and hopefully it will get people thinking, exploring and talking. That is the only hope we have as a nation. A grass roots movement toward change.

The Boss said you’re gone next time you’re late,

he was on my back for the rest of the day

But I wasn’t listening anyway,

Couldn’t wipe that smile away

Cashed my check, and jumped in my cab,

had one with the boys at the Doghouse Shack

Mashed that lightning on the way to your house,

wanna leave this week behind

So baby jump inside….

It’s alright, It’s OK

Feels so good on this beautiful day

Cause I got you and I Just got paid…

It’s alright, It’s OK…

Everything’s better on Friday

The music’s sweeter and the beer is colder,

Out at the point with you on my shoulder

It’s all about you and me tonight, lets leave the week behind

it’s way past  time

It’s alright, It’s OK

Feels so good on this beautiful day

Cause I got you and I got paid…

It’s alright, It’s OK…

Everything’s better on Friday

Em D/F# G C C/B D, Em D/F# Em D G  C A7 C D7

I ain’t thinking bout Monday, ain’t thinkin bout anything

All week long, I’m just dreaming of you

And your love, get’s me higher, your love is what gets me through

It’s alright, It’s OK

Feels so good on this beautiful day

Cause I got you and I got paid…

It’s alright, It’s OK…

Everything’s better on Friday

Best I Can

Made reservations at your favorite place

I haven’t taken you there since our first date

We’ve had out ups and downs but really it’s been great

Your love brought me saving grace

Workin 60 hour weeks, saving away

And on our Anniversary there’s some things I wanna say

You’re my everything and more, I’m 10 ft. tall

 And I may stumble, and I may fall

You make me a better man

I love you the best I can, I love you the best…The Best I can….

I come home dirty and I come home tired,

I wake right up up when I see your smile

I’d walk through hell and a hundred miles

just knowing that you’re waiting for me makes it all worth while

Girl you drive me wild in every little way

But  tonight I’m gonna show you what my words can’t say

You’re my everything and more, I’m 10 ft. tall

 And I may stumble, and I may fall

You make me a better man

I love you the best I can, I love you the best…The Best I can….

Em-F-Em-F-G7

whoh oh…I want you to know, I can hold on forever

If you don’t let me go, so don’t let me go…

Chorus.
