I sang the song “Hero” by Mariah Carey for a high school talent show. I joke that I peaked in junior high school, but the song still has great personal relevance. So it is the song of the day.

“Round Here” by Counting Crows is the best song I’ve ever heard about mental illness.
It’s a contemplative narrative that perfectly exemplifies the melancholy inherent in those with severe mental health problems.

The song “Rain” by Madonna was played at the funeral of a family friend many years ago. For a long time I had a hard time listening to it.
But it’s raining in Boise, ID and I can think of no better song to honor those we’ve lost today. Thank you for your music, Madonna. ❤️

“Against All Odds” by Phil Collins conveys such a longing and desperation. It’s beautiful. I am a huge fan of Collins and his body of work. I need to seek out more concert footage of him and/or Genesis…

Oh…is this why I could never find a use for all my fascination with movie trivia and writing? Gonna have to be more succinct while warning others in the only way I can with full transparency?
A “parasite” like me?
Shit, I’ve been waiting this whole time to get back to that.
Fellow artists, join me!

@kevinly79.bsky.social, when you are in a good haha mediocre headspace, I need to stop some unsubstantiated rumors spread by unreliable narrators. Without doxxing publicly. Because as salty as I am, I am the worst when letting go of things not meant for me, no matter how dear. “Such a mess.” 1/2

Narcissist come in many forms. But no matter how shiny the snake oil he’s selling or how beautiful he seems. He has no empathy and therefore no soul.

If you want to know (hell, not even all of) the roots of my Sky Daddy issues, here ya go. This is why I need to stay away from socials a while. I desperately want to do what I love again. Singing and acting.

This one is very dark. If you are a person of religion, this more specifically applies to others repeated attempts to convert me as well as what just happened. I will not be wasting any more energy…

Even if I can’t stand up, I am determined to rise up somehow. Music can save you even when you can’t seem to save yourself.

Why talk to text for writing is a porch oyster for me:
My family keeps laughing at my texts because even when my voice and enunciation are fine, the words I choose don’t translate as intended.

Opening this week with The Bangles and their banger cover of “Hazy Shade of Winter.”
Because singing along to the opening intonations of “Time, time, time, see what’s become of me,” seems better than screaming “DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME, WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO ME???”

Last night I discovered I’m not half bad at singing “Memory” from Cats.

I forgot to hashtag my last post.
In my defense, we did stuff outside the house yesterday. It caused a minor cognitive crash.
Today, when I wrote down that I needed to finish learning a song, I hand wrote “LERN” instead of “LEARN.”
So I will extend myself some grace, I guess

I love nature and the outdoors.
I just wish the feeling was mutual.
The ethereal “Go Outside” by Cults helps me idealize the concept of being one with Mother Nature.
In reality, I know full well that b*tch h*tes me.
