New, Forgotten, Unknown 10/28/16 New Music Friday
Ok, so I am behind a couple weeks. Trying to get the time to add videos but life has been too busy so I am going to release as is and you can check out the songs if you like. I know it is harder for you but…
No new musician followers this week. Take a listen, find some new music to listen to. Please feel free to share/purchase the song I wrote the lyrics to, Lily Messer is the voice and Ceylon Wise is the producer. I have many more songs I would like to get out there but can not financially afford to record them. If interested in teaming up together, feel free to contact me.
Thanks for all the follows, musicians and non-musicians.
Some other music from non-followers I have listened to recently. Pick out a few you haven’t heard and take a listen.

I Loved Our Time Together (When You Were On A Sedative)
Trying to be funny but…my sense of humor can be warped at times.
I loved our time together when you were on a sedative
In the moment was all we had to live
No hurts, no regrets, the past was the past
It had been ages since we laughed like that
Even though the doctor was two and a half hours late
I can honestly say I didn’t mind the wait
No kids, no outside pulls, no tv
Just you and me ( and that constant beep)
We made jokes the entire time
Reminded me of when you were first mine
Before life got in the way
But we can start anew today
It was good to hear you laugh
If you did now it would tear you in half
You will heal and so will we
Marriage definitely is not easy
I can’t wait until my knee is done
So we can have some more fun
And love our time together when I am on a sedative

Goodbye
When the leaves are falling
And the steps of death are calling
Remember me like the beauty in the changing colors of leaves
Remember where I’ll be because of what I believe
When the cold winter winds blow
Think of the spring when things start to grow
When you see the branches bare
Remember that a part of me is always there
In the heat of summer when the days seem to last forever
When you see the beauty in a sunset remember my love leaves you never
When the snow is on the ground
And life can’t be found
Remember me in the new colors of spring
In the red, gold, yellow leaves fall brings
This season of mourning will pass
Just like the years have gone fast
The nights I slept little to feed you in the middle of the night
The nights you couldn’t sleep because of fright
The nights I stayed up late
Waiting until you came home from a date
The days you said you hated me
The days we agreed to disagree
The times I should’ve listened instead of yelled
The times I let you go when I should of held
All of them made us who we are
All moments shared under the same stars
My love for you has no bounds
But it doesn’t compare to God’s love found
When you need someone to hold your hand
Think of me and that’s where I am
When you need someone to wipe a tear
Know that I am always near
When you see the beauty of this world
You will always be my little girl
This is goodbye but it’s not the end
When the leaves fall remember when
When the cold wind blows
That’s just me pulling you close
When you feel the suns rays warming your bones
That’ll be me calling you from home

A Dallas Home Game In Cleveland
My favorite NFL team since I was little has always been the Dallas Cowboys. I don’t know why since I am from Ohio and no one I knew liked them. I have brainwashed my daughter into them being her favorite team also.
We went to Cleveland to see them play November 6th. It was a good daddy-daughter day. There were so many Dallas fans walking to the stadium that it felt like we were in Dallas. I would have to say it was at least 1/2, if not more filled with Cowboys fans inside. It was also 60 degrees. Something to be thankful for in November in Cleveland.
At one point in the 3rd quarter the crowd was chanting Let’s Go Cowboys and it was loud. A lot of Browns fans were leaving by this point.
Kylie got to see her favorite players, Jason Witten and Zeke, score touchdowns. She likes Dak but her favorite player is Tony Romo and he still was not able to play this week.
Yes they were playing Cleveland but the Cowboys were very impressive. Zeke, Dak, Witten and the defense ruled the day. If you haven’t heard the Cowboys won 35-10.
Here are some more pics.

At The Corner Of Unicorn Lane
Happy Halloween
At the corner of Unicorn Lane
Right before you get to Leprechaun Street
There lives a…. I don’t want to tell you it’s name
It’s not something most would want to meet
Some say it’s small, like an elf, fairy or pixie
Some say it’s big, like a Sasquatch, an ogre, or a Nephilim
I have seen it and to talk about it is quite risky
What I will say is that it doesn’t look like any of them
Some say it’s a hybrid, like a griffin, a Minotaur or a mermaid
Others say it’s a shapeshifter, a werewolf, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
I have seen it and trust me, don’t get in its way
The last person that did has disappeared, perhaps has died
I’ve heard some says it’s a Kirin or a dragon
I’ve heard some say it’s a Chupacabra or a vampire
I have seen it and…

Ghosts And Goblins
This didn’t turn out like I wanted but you can get the drift.
Ghosts and goblins don’t scare me.
Werewolves? Nah.
Vampires don’t either.
What about bears and lions you ask? Not in the least. Most of the time if they attack they are only protecting their territory or their young. Now I must say I have never been in front of a ten foot tall, mad mama bear but sitting here in the comfort of my home I am not afraid.
What about snakes? I will admit they get my heart going but not really afraid of them. Again, I have never come face to face with a black mamba or a king cobra but, for now, I can say I am not afraid.
Spiders? Not at all.
Most animals are the same. They wake up, they search for food and water, they sleep. Add breeding when it’s that time.
Monsters don’t scare me either. I mean if you can’t outrun Frankenstein or the Blob then shame on you. Yes, I know there are faster monsters out there but I am not scared.
You want to know what really scares me?
People.
People scare me more than anything else in this world.
They are unpredictable.
They can look you in the eye and lie to you.
They can say they will never let you down and two seconds later they let you down.
They can be your best friend one minute and your worst enemy the next.
They can take you for granted.
They can say they will love you til death parts you and then leave for someone else six months later.
They can do unimaginable things when they feel desperate. Back then into a corner and they can be worse than a king cobra.
They can hate you for no other reason than the way you look.
Yes people scare me more than ghosts and goblins. Yes they scare me more than any other thing in this world. But I have seen some hope.
I have seen people jump in front of a bullet to save a total stranger.
I have seen people spend hours in a hospital room holding a loved ones hand.
I have seen people give so much of their time to help the least of them.
People scare me. But I have hope. I have a dream that people will love more than they hate. That they will stand by their word. That when they commit they understand what that truly means.
People can be more unpredictable than any animal I know. But, unlike animals they can also do more good than they can imagine.

Where Are You?
Not originally a Halloween post but scary just the same. Because it is true.
I walked through this town I love so much and couldn’t believe my eyes. Everywhere I looked the city was in ruins. Every corner had something else wrong. Every block I walked all I saw was confusion. I went into my favorite store and had to take a step back. Something wasn’t right.
The buildings were still there. The architecture as beautiful as ever. It was the people. They were all walking around like robots. No one smiled. They all had the same blank stare. What happened to them? It’s like they were all….lost.
I smiled at a child. She smiled back. The mom looked at me like I was trying to kidnap her child. I smiled at her also but only received a glare in return.
I pulled out my phone to see if I missed some news on what is going on. I looked on Facebook, Twitter and…

When You Look In The Mirror
For National Bully Awareness Month – Stand Up Speak Out
When my wife and I went through our troubled times a few years back, I wrote on the mirror – Who do you want to be today? It was a daily reminder that when we looked in the mirror, we had a choice that day to do the right thing and live for God or do the wrong thing. It was our choice.
It is your choice who you want to be today. Do you want to be a bully? Do you want to put others down and make fun of them? Do you want to make a change and make your corner of the world a better place? God gave us free will. He let’s us choose what we will do with this time we spend on this earth.
I don’t understand bullies. I don’t understand taking your frustrations out on someone that is weaker than you. Why don’t…

The Haunted House
A story from last year. Happy Halloween
I have been in the house many times since the first time. The first time was when I was eight years old. I was being teased, called a chicken, and all those things kids say to each other. Triple dog dare. You can’t turn down a triple dog dare. It was the first time I opened the door. I only looked inside for a second but that was enough. The door had been opened and my future was doomed.
I soon started visiting the house more than I would like to admit. Always by myself of course. I couldn’t let my friends know what I was doing. Each time I went in I would find a new room to explore. It was fascinating at first. All these new things I was finding meant I was also learning more about myself. I thought I was being brave. Anytime something would happen to…
