Equity is formulated by understanding the perception of what others’ equity or value is in a given circumstance or object. The ability to gather this data with incomplete information and estimate these variables objectively in real time is the essential tool needed to recognize ranges and exploit marginal edges. Short-term variance will yield loss in any given sample but long-term expected value...

Do you believe in New Years? Resolutions? Newness? I believe, with or without calendar significance. Happy New Year.

Even though today is actually the first day of winter, starting tomorrow summer is on the way back, at least sunlight. The winter solstice, a moment in time, when the earth tilts farthest away from the sun on its axis. Each year, it happens on Dec. 20 or Dec. 21 in the Northern Hemisphere. In 2010, it occurs today, and it’s the shortest day of the year, in which there are 10 hours and 19...

Jimmy Eat World - Invented, Album Review. I normally like to hear myself talk and push my opinions on people, especially when it comes to music. I am a music snob and think my tastes are better than other peoples, that is not really true, I am really just a little over dramatic when it comes to describing things I like and things I don’t. I really believe that different people just have...

in Galveston. As Kaitlin and I enjoy our time away from work in a fancy hotel in Galveston, playing online poker, Tropical storm Hermine to the south is supposed to rain us in and bring high tides tomorrow. I almost prefer that to sunny weather, plus we have our Fantasy Football draft tomorrow night anyways.
Some highlights of the trip so far; pretty good BBQ from Woody’s north of...
Thanks everybody for the encouraging words. After about a week of pain, pain pills, disorientation and confusion, I am pretty sure I passed the second kidney stone last night. I feel so much better, it’s weird because, I feel like I have lot’s of energy, etc. but I really am like half power. I don’t know if it is medicine hangover or just normal recovery from being laid up all...

I know I do this a lot, but I felt my original version of this was cheesy, and I originally just wanted to get some things off my chest, but I felt like I said too much… so I edited this post…
so another one of my bands has broken up…
If you have been following Kaitlin and I since we both left Boy Caught Dream almost 3 years ago, you have seen us try to pull off the acoustic...

dominate your life.
…ownership puts you in a position where you take full responsibility for the shape that your life is in right now and you make the decisions and/or take the controlling actions that are needed to improve it.

“Limits, like fears are often just illusions.” - Michael Jordan
“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure…than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt

writers block, the concept of a muse, fickle as the wind… I am patiently waiting for ‘the muse’ to ruffle my creative feathers and give me something inspiring enough to not delete 20 minutes after posting it… anthony kiedis said, “there is no such thing as writers block, writers write when they do and don’t when they don’t.”

And next time they come with the “free downloads are damaging the creative people” shtick, show them this.
Brilliant.

Jo Koy at the Improv...
Jo Koy was so funny, my body hurts from laughing so hard, he did like a 2 hour set and we had front row seats - He asked Kaitlin what her name was and what she did for a job and for fun, etc, and she said, “Kaitlin, I work at hotel and I’m a singer” he was like, “yeah right Kaitlin is your day name, and Kandi is your night time stripper name,” then he was like,...

Hey if you don’t know already, otherwise just a reminder, my new project (Hey Ungraceful) is playing a special full band acoustic show tonight @ the Liquid Lounge in Dallas early at 8:30pm. This will be our first show with Josh and Paul and I think you will like it. We really feel like it is the beginning of something special. But more importantly the show is for a good cause with all of the...

This weekend starting tonight...
The Mavs are on a road trip, so considering you are not going to Regina Spektor tonight or Rufus Wainwright on Sat, here are some other weekend plan suggestions:
Tonight friends Shorelines End are going to be playing at Trees with Safety Suit, I am not going to make it out to that as I have rehearsal…
Tomorrow, again at Trees my friend Collin Cable and his band “They Were...
Hey Ungraceful this Sat...
On Saturday Kaitlin and I are going to play a few songs acoustic at Liquid Lounge in Dallas. If you are curious to what the songs sound like that we have been working on, you can get a rough idea, we are going to play mostly originals, and maybe a couple covers from our old bands, etc. if we have time. We are playing early, doors open at 8:30 and we go on first at 9:15 (that is the real time,...

Hey Ungraceful 10.21.09
Tonight Kaitlin and I played our first show. We wanted to play a secret show, preferably out of town, so that we could work out our nerves and stuff before we started playing more gigs. It ended up being in Dallas, we worked hard to keep it a secret. Dave from Lakewood Bar and Grill has been following us since we left Boy Caught Dream and has checked in on us about every couple months or so to...
Hey Ungraceful Update
We have started booking a few acoustic dates. Our next plan is to get a drummer and bass player to commit to a couple weeks of rehearsal, and to record our songs live. We want to lay down 10-15 songs or so. And we would like to record them in a day. We are not looking for band members just a couple people that can help us with recording. So if you can help out let us know.
We also put up a few...

My friend Chris Baker, was once over 400 lbs and with hard work and dietary education, etc has lost over 200lbs. He started a blog describing how he has done it. I know how hard it is to lose 50 lbs naturally, so this is a great and inspiring read. I hope he stays on top of his goals, and this blog.
