I grew up in a Beatles, Willie Nelson, three tenors house.When i was 12 or so, my friend up the street put me on. The ramones. Violent femmes. corrosion of conformity. Metallica. DRI. Minor threat.Across the street, my other friends older bother tuned me into the smiths, the cure, bauhaus. Joy division and new order…echo and the bunnymen…In college i found the dead.All of this is a soundtrack to my life. I cant live without constantly listening to music. It’s means so much to me to music to whatever im doing. It makes living a joyful experience.

Multiple reasons to visit NGA, but the free screenings are among the top for me. Thought provoking programming that is usually tied in some way to ongoing exhibitions. I don’t watch trailers so I love to go in there without any expectations. Shout out to the lush red velvet seating - so cozy.

really the rec is for whatever local video store is in ur area (nyc people sound off i guess). ANYWHOOO i've been a member for minute now and the catalogue is so much larger than any streaming site and i get to go talk to the lovely staff and we exchange our love for the different movies we're watching, akin to the library/local bookstore. the digital ephemera lacks that human touch.

I dont know what it’s like to not be neuro divergent.It manifests in ways that are…inconvenient. Anti social, stand-offish, scattered, frsutrated, over explaining, self doubting, perfection paralysis…et al.One of the reasons I love what I do is because I can actually show people what I’m thinking…through images, fabrics, product…things that are tangible and tactile and the conversation becomes much easier.There’s a block in my brain in which the words are in my head, but the ability to communicate them is hard to get out of my mouth.I have to work on this every single day to keep the non ideal aspects of this at bay. I’ve been responsible for large teams and have worked within publicly traded companies for 20 years, so the ability to communicate clearly with concise intentions is vital.These are all things associated with ADD, but the understanding of this by people that don’t experience it first hand is minimal. It’s not about being scattered or flakey. It’s so much more deeply complex.Simple tasks to most people present themselves as heavy left obstacles to me.Every day, it takes monumental effort to pull up and put my game face on. However, the upside to how my brain operates (I can’t speak for others) is that I get incredibly plugged into what I’m passionate about.I’m so fortunate and grateful to have found that outlet in a creative field that brings me joy and a sense of accomplishment…and I get to work with amazing people who are equally passionate.So whoever is out there that experiences this…I see you and I feel you.Get up. Brush your teeth. Get dressed. Regularly push yourself outside your comfort zone and follow your inner compass because it will tell you deep in your guts what you’re capable of doing.Also, a dog is wonderful at soothing this condition.

A friend of mine took a pic of me at a dead show at the gorge last summer and i was wild out of control. I needed to get my act together.I started eating right…not dieting…just making smarter decisions.I got back to the gym.I walk my dog three and a half miles a day wearing a weighted rucksack.Changed my life.I feel so much better and what it does to calm my mind is invaluable.

I’m super smell sensitive. Ive worn the same fragrance for almost 20 years. Santa Maria novellas patchouli. Just recently a friend, Todd nickey of nickey kehoe sent me some of what hes been working one. They were both great but his brand Bernards cleome parfum ol bijou was so good. So now i put that on first and the patchouli on top. I love the mix.
