HAPPY NEW YEAR friends! Hard to believe it's 2015 already, although it is easier for time to seem like it happened quickly AFTER it has transpired.  I hope ya'll have had a safe, memorable and happy time celebrating!! I want to thank all my family and friends new and old for contributing to a special year for me! Anything you're proud of that happened in 2014? Anything you're hoping to accomplish in 2015? Here are some resolutions/goals for 2015: -Finish and release both the "Rapologues" album and my first book "Water Coolers & Campfires" -have more of my work published (poetry or prose) -Make an official AllOne website -Release more video content (of all sorts) -Continue to read/Write/workout every day -Spend more time with family  -use my phone less and/or more like a phone -learn from everything/everyone -be loving, gentle and present -be open to new experiences -don't fear failure, only inactivity 2014 ...

Indianapolis, short and sweet, less is more!    I had a brief but short time staying with my dear Indianapolis friends!  My bus ride was much longer than I'd expected, 8 hours, having been stuck in traffic!  At that point, Megabus decided it would no longer allow my blogging page on their wi-fi network and so I wrote 9 pages of memoir for the blog of the week prior without anywhere to put it.  In the mean-time I also listened to a ton of music, all of which I recommend: Tarkio - "Omnibus" Sleep Bellum Sonno - "Judge us by how we lived our lives not how we made our living" Muse - "The Resistance" Tom Waits - "Frank's Wild Years"       At last, in the afternoon, I arrived in Indianapolis!  The sunlight and warmth was a much preferred contrast to the snowy mid-February Indy that Alexa and I had bundled and trudged through last year.  My friend Aaron picked me up within minutes of my phone call, thankfully! He'd hosted...

Wednesday 6/18 20 Hour Bus to Atlanta          As usual, I woke earlier than I should have, I hugged goodbyes and said my thanks to Ian and Sarah as they were on their way out the door for work. I gulped down coffee and Tony drove me to the bus station at 10:45am. Due to the length of the ride going through the night, it would be the first night in 9 days that I hadn't performed! The 20 hours bus ride was empty and began relatively fine, it was frustrating to find none of the promised amenities the bus offers such as outlets or wi-fi on the bus itself.We stopped at a Burger King very early on and I bought another coffee with the gift card Libby Lefebvre gave me. The air conditioning was constantly on and made for a brutally cold environment. I finished reading  “One” by Richard Bach. The book was gorgeous and incredibly wise, as I've come to expect from Bach and he always delivers. It was very concerned with philosophy, metaphysics, spiritual...

To my wonderful, constant readers and friends and AllOne Family-members, I apologize for being a week behind on these travel journal posts, I am actually all caught up with accounts of the spectacular and peculiar events that have been occurring but the internet access has been spotty, and when Megabus does have wi-fi I've discovered they've banned my blogging website from their access, so I'm unable to make use of the time posting while on these lengthy trips.  Ah, so it goes.  I appreciate your patience and even remote amount of consideration and concern for my whereabouts and well-being!  As I write this preface, it is Monday June, 23rd and I'm currently in "Awake cafe" in Chicago awaiting my impending performance at a nearby venue and am finally able to update these mobile memoirs!  Lets get into it shall we... Where were we? Ah yes, Buffalo New York.... Getting Lost, Getting Help,      Monday afternoon I arrived in Buffalo, which...
