EPISODE CXXXV: THE COURAGE OF AUTHENTICITY

 Sometimes it's more comfortable to follow a crowd and compromise your thoughts and values to feel safe, despite you may disagree.  I speak about having the courage to be your own person and living by your own code.  About owning mistakes you have made in this regard and looking to move forward.  Starting with a blank canvas but making sure you have brand new paint. MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE PLEASE DON'T GO - Violent Femmes THE CHANGE - Evanescence HEY GOD?! - Megadeth SUBDIVISIONS - Rush BEAST - KMFDM

EPISODE CXXXIV: STATE OF CONFUSION

 As I continue on with my year of "discipline," I start to look at the cause and effect of decisions that I have made this year.  I talk about what lead to many of these decisions and what is next.  It's a live journal.  Ironically, I said I don't want to be an open book to the world, and here I am discussing my journey.  LOL MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE LAND OF CONFUSION - Genesis BREAKING DOWN - Florence + The Machine I DON'T KNOW - Ozzy Osbourne FREE - VAST WHEN THE CROWDS ARE GONE - Savatage

EPISODE CXXXIII: LATE AND LOST

It's the first time in two years I was late with an episode.  I am going to tell you why and my very glass half empty idea about of life lately.  I feel some level of defeat and seeing the world as not real.  I am questioning so much lately.  And I talk about it here.  This is a tough listen I will not lie.  But it does ask questions that may need answers one day. MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE ITS TOO LATE BABY- Carole King DAMAMGED - Fear Factory BORN TO DIE - Lana Del Rey HELP - Papa Roach THE COST OF GIVING UP - Poppy HORIZON - Seven Lions, Kill the Noise, Tritonial

EPISODE CXXXII: MISSION: (INSERT YOUR WORD HERE)

As we begin a new year, it gives us a chance to make a plan or resolutions.  However what I talk about is maybe a theme for your life versus empty resolutions may help you change.  It's all about giving yourself a fighting chance to win, seize opportunity and smell the roses.  You can do this.  We all can.  Because we all rule! By the way, enjoy the new intro! MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE THE MISSION - Queensryche THE WORD- Dope Smugglaz, PMT ENJOY THE SILENCE - Depeche Mode ACTION - Steve Stevens ALL WE NEED - Odesza w/ Shy Girls DISCIPLINE - Nine Inch Nails THE LIVING YEARS - Mike and the Mechanics
