Be A Friend

Well here I am, slightly hungover, slightly tired, but fully excited to be starting off with a blog and some more recording today. As mentioned, I had some drinks last night. I think one of my biggest takeaways from the night, and what made me feel the most fulfilled, was getting to catch up with people who are willing to be open and share where they are at in life — good or bad.

That’s always something that’s energized me, but even more so now that I’m getting older and more involved in this project. To relate it to BRiNK, that’s something I always want to have at the center of our project — being willing to listen to people who want to open up. Being willing to be real with people when times are tough. Or even being willing to speak your mind if it’s something they need to hear.

All these things run through my head in a bar, at a show, or anywhere. I always want to be there for someone if they want to talk. Maybe it’s that desire that gets me talking too much. Maybe that talking too much is why I stay out late. Maybe staying out so late is why I have this headache right now.

Well alas, I’ll keep doing it.
