Preparing For Social Media....

The whole social media concept is very new to me - but the reality in today's age is if you want to build a career for yourself as an artist, you've got to do a lot more than just record…

Driving through Minnesota...

Been driving through Minnesota the past week, listening to songs on my phone and taking notes for which would be ideal for track-specific playlists from the forthcoming album.  I know playlisting isn't a new concept since spotify became a thing…Read more

The River Checkraise...

 2-3 is a minefield.  With position and KhTh on a JT7K7 rainbow board, I went for what I considered a reasonable value bet of $60 into a $175 pot (particularly given his river check), and got checkraised all-in for effectively…

Hearing It For the First Time...

It's come up in a few recent conversations how it's pretty much impossible to hear your own song for the first time, since by the time you've finished writing it, recorded the demo, tweaked it, and gone through the formal…

The stupidity of leaning into low limit...

Lost a fair amount this weekend in two different 2-3 sessions at two different poker rooms.  The first loss (on Saturday) was pretty large, owing to a series of poorly conceived plays based on advanced strategies that I'm realizing simply…

Saturday musings...

Saturday morning, and trying to figure out what's next on the to do list for this upcoming video/single release.  The initial upload to youtube apparently failed, so... waiting for that two hour process to complete once again (hopefully with success…

What a Disappointment...

How does a team come out so flat against an opponent that's not making the playoffs, isn't skating its best player (and several other regulars), and doesn't even have a full roster due to salary cap issues?  Isles have to…
