Preface: this is from my point of view. This is from my own experiences and from my life. I am not speaking for anyone else.This is a serious topic for me.This is something that happens to me, and that I see happening to people around me.I usually try to pepper my posts with gifs and jokes…Not this time. I hear things like this on a daily basis. “You know what’s funny is that you’re band isn’t that bad.” “Wow, finally losing some of...

Allow me to introduce a fellow musician, songwriter, writer, and creator. Mike O’Cull is one of the people that makes me jealous – I write one song, he has written a micro-poem, a blog post, an article, and had a pizza.
