How a cowgirl and broken-hearted crush wrote a song She’s thinkin’, as he’s leavin’ “Ain’t it somethin’ this relief I’m feeling” There ain’t no broken heart in sight So she saddles up for a midnight ride Hoof-beats match her heart beat stride for stride Her life gets a little clearer tonight Back in 2007/2008 I […]
God! I hope the title is good enough click-bait. Disclaimer: I’m not running this by an editor. Spelling, grammar, and usage may all be subject. But, if that is your takeaway, well… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This is NOT about Kavanaugh & Ford This isn’t about the Supreme Court nomination hearings. Politically-focused responses about that are going to […]
The alliteration above; sorry, that’s what I got! I normally try to hit the gym between 5:00am and 6:00am. But, due to the “stuff of life”, I couldn’t yesterday. There are “things” to attend to. And those things took longer than I had planned with less resolution than I desired. Note: I’m being intentionally vague […]
As with most blog entries, spelling, grammar, and usage are all subject. I’ll correct as I go… or not. Alternate title: How to Ensure Your Kids Shut You Out of Their Life Regarding the meme that says, “This should be posted in all schools and work places” and attributes some “advice” to Bill Gates.

We were out in February – me, his siblings, and his mom and her boyfriend – to surprise him for his birthday (watch […]
Who is allowed in the conversation? The other day I was live-streaming on Facebook – doing one of my intermittent, “S is for Song” streams. It’s me, typically in my office, with a guitar, performing three songs, usually originals. I enjoy doing it and have been asked by some listeners to do them more often. […]
I published this poem in 2011 on another blog. I might write a new one before the 1st. But I might not. This is pretty good. Enjoy! A New Year’s Poem For The Dream Doers It is the day after Christmas and all round the world People’s plans for the next year are getting a […]
A not podcast Let’s call this a podcast. Episode #1 of Matt’s Unremarkable Dreams. It’s likely a launch and farewell episode. Last night, after waking from two back to back dreams, I decided to record what I remembered on my phone. I don’t often remember my dreams and typically make the mistake, upon waking from […]
Ha.. clickbait. It worked, you’re here! Now let me explain my indiscretion in a little more detail! I sleep with prostitutes from time to time. I know it isn’t what’s best for me. But I also know I’m not alone (because I’m with her, right?). It started years ago with a conversation at a client. […]
