Had the honor of co-writing this song on my buddy Sammy Arriaga’s debut CD ‘Long Way From Home.’ He’s a fantastic country artist, and all around just a great guy. Do your ears a favor and pick up a copy @ sammyarriaga.com!
Huge thanks to the one and only Johnny Stimson for playing the mad cool keys on this track. If you haven’t heard his music, check it out. johnnystimson.com!
Love Life & Cats
Tonight, for some reason, my brain decided to review all of the relationships and almost-relationships that have come to pass in my life. A post-game report of sorts. I reread a story filled with teen angst, misadventure, and wonderful heartbreak. From the first time I was “in love,” to the last time my heart was shattered into tens of thousands of pieces.
Aside from all of the lessons learned and lessons taught (you know who you are), an interesting common denominator amongst every girl I’ve dated is that they’ve all had cats. Now, animal prejudices aside, this doesn’t seem like such a bad thing, right? Right. Except for the fact that I have an intense allergic reaction every time I’m within 20 ft. of one. So this brings me to the question: what is it about certain girls’ personalities that draws them to cats, and me to them, all at once? Your help is greatly appreciated. Haa… chew!

My Holiday Playlist
Well folks, it’s that time of year again. The air is cold, lights are strung on almost every corner, and Santas all around the world are gathering at their local Macy’s for meet and greets. It’s Christmas time. Which consequently means it’s also time to bust out the holiday playlist! I thought I’d take a minute to share mine with you. What’s yours?

So recently my bud Casey Brown started working on this remix of What’s Inside. What do you guys think of it? When it’s finished would you want to download it?
I’m Getting Coal…
Well, after much deliberation I finally decided on what I’m going to be for Halloween… I just got back from the costume store with a bear suit, a bearer of bad news suit to be exact. Bear with me, I’m banking on comedic relief to get me through this post. But technically I don’t even need a suit to be a bearer of bad news, so I guess just wasted a lot of honey. Whoops… I mean, money. I’ll cut to the chase, due to a bunch of issues with production, money and such there will no longer be Christmas EP as I had originally planned. That being said, my fate in regards to what I’ll be receiving in my stocking is pretty much sealed. Coal. Luckily Christmas comes more than once a year so all is not lost! Seriously- it’s a week later in Ukraine. Unfortunately my Ukrainian singing voice isn’t up to parr, but I have time, right? Anyways, I just wanted you to hear it from me first before all the major networks picked it up. There’s nothing like secondhand betrayal. Plans for an EP going down early next year are still looking hopeful though, so keep your head up! I think my good friend Annie said it best, “the sun’ll come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dol…”
Peas and collard greens,

Mocha Club
“Hi I’m Michael, and I’m a coffee-aholic.”
I find myself subconsciously blurting this introduction to people I meet everyday. It’s the result of almost one and a half years of attending my weekly CA (Coffee-aholics Anonymous) group. To me, coffee is water. That being said some of you might ask: “Michael, why is being addicted to water so bad?” To you, my answer is this: because water is coffee. Confused? It’s okay, I am too. Anyways, when I heard about an organization called Mocha Club from a friend (yes, I consider YouTube a friend. Watch the video I stumbled upon here) I felt convicted to move from the ‘talking’ category to the ‘doing’ category. Break my addiction and help people simultaneously? I mean c’mon, it’s a twofer! Mocha Club is a website where you give up $7 a month (the cost of 2 mochas) to support a project in Africa- I’m supporting Clean Water. I’m so honored to be a part of this cause and I wanted to take this opportunity to invite you to join my team and support it with me!

Tumblr, I’m here.
One hundred and forty characters is for the most part more than enough letter-space needed for me to get my point(s) across. What can I say? I’m a man of few words. And consequently I’m also a minority here on Tumblr- the land of infinite characters. So why did I create this blog, you ask? First of all, I want to thank you for asking that. I’ll throw some participation extra credit points in for ya’. I created this blog for you- my fans, friends, family (all interchangeable words,) and even my critics. To all of you who support me and what I do, you’re the reason I sleep at night. To those of you who don’t, you’re what gets me out of bed in the morning. I feel the least I can do to express my gratitude is create a means for us to connect on a deeper level. So stay tuned ladies and gents, more bloggage to come. Giving you the scoop to keep you in the loop!
