Alright!

We did a vote on Patreon and you asked for 31 new songs in 31 days.

Looks like I got my work cut out for me!!!

Expect the first song later this evening. Last year I managed to write 15 songs in 31 days… But I totally cheated! 🤣🤣

Basically, I’d invite people over to my house… And I wouldn’t let them leave and until we had finished a song!I stole the idea from the Beatles… Someone asked them how they had so many songs, and they admitted to just locking themselves in a room and not leaving until the song was done.

Well, I’m gonna give that a try. I foresee some days where I will still cheat a little bit… Songs I have started and maybe not finished… Maybe even some songs written last year that I kind of forgot about or didn’t plan to record/put on any album. But as often as I can, I am committing to writing an entirely new song, every single day, from scratch.

Thank you so much for this awesome challenge, and thank you so much for being here.

I went into this week thinking it was going to be pretty tough. Almost a month ago, I started wrapping anything that showed up at the house from cleaning supplies to my new day planner, just so I wouldn’t have to sit alone and depressed on Christmas day.

Well, starting a couple days ago this turned out to be one of the better Christmases ever.

If anyone is struggling or feeling lonely right now, we are still hanging out watching different versions of the Christmas Carol for pretty much the rest of the day.

You are not alone.

I know it feels really lonely right now. Trust me. I do. We are here for you. Come and hang out. You don’t need to say antt hewing if you’ll don’t want, just know that we are all together.

By the end of this year, Let’s Watch A Movie Together will have watched 300 movies together.

It has been so awesome. Seeing everyone every night. It makes me a little sadder every time I add another title to the Playlist. The lockdowns are not gonna stop, and I really hope you stay home and stay safe over the holidays, so let’s watch a couple more movies before the end of the year.

We are all over the world, so I wanted to post the last few weeks of movies, so everyone can plan ahead. Please stay safe. Please stay home. Starting tomorrow, all movies will start at 7pm CST for the next week. Starting in January I won’t be able to watch a movie with everyone every night, but wanted to let you know how much this has meant to me. The weekends are fair game, and feel free to organize and hang out whenever and wherever you like 🙂 Thanks again…see ya at the movies.

Someone sent me this and I couldn’t believe it was 6 years ago.

I know it’s six years old cause I am wearing a Chuck Ragan shirt, which means I would have just finished the month-long tour with Chuck in Europe/UK.

I hate these top-five kind of lists.

They’re always either super wrong or they just assume everything.

Like you click on Top Five Ways to be a Wizard and the first thing it says is: “Ask Your Magical Owl for Some Spells.”

I really hope I don’t do anything like that. These are just some things that I do when I feel like I have no ideas.

Running out of things I can trust

Waiting on the side of a road for a bus that ain’t never gonna come

They cut the lines when we came undone

Nobody waits anymore

They’re all taking turns starting fights at the store

Everywhere I go there’s a crowd

Pulling down a mask just to say out loud

Last time I checked it was a free country

If you don’t like it then leave (Continued here:
