I’ve been a baaaaad blogger.  And yes, I say like sheepishly.

Someone told me once that I should only blog about the music.  Well, what happens when the music has taken a short-lived backseat to other things, like motherhood or buying a house?  Does that mean I should not write sweet nothings on my website during this slow period?  The answer is no, in my opinion.  It’s my damn website, and you wouldn’t be here reading this if you didn’t have some interest in my thoughts and feelings.

Wow, I’m going to be performing original music House Of Blues on Friday.  I remember the first time I went there, I was in high school and I saw Incubus…  They played songs off of Bjork’s Homogenic while they were setting up.  I went home and immediately wrote a song that would make people dance the way I danced that night.  And now I’m going to be playing there with District 97, and I couldn’t be more proud to be the frontman of this band.

The End.

Guys, I’m way giddy about today’s WGN Midday News performance.  It’s by far the biggest thing I’ve done since American Idol, and I can’t wait to show people what’s up with this crazy little season six semi-finalist.  It’ll be sweet to share my music with an estimated 200,000 viewers, and rock out in people’s living rooms, or wherever the heck else people watch TV. 

Hi!  I feel that I should reintroduce myself, as I am now completely different, and my life has been completely changed.  I thought I knew all about love, and a human being’s capacity for it, but I was wrong.  I fell head-over-heels in love at 9:42 pm on Sunday, August 30th with my daughter Eliza.  The minute I laid eyes on her, a big chunk of my brain shut down, and I knew that I was going to be 100% focused on her for quite a while.  Seriously, this is probably the fourth time in a month that I’ve opened my laptop.  All of the facebooking I’ve been doing has been from my iPhone, whilst nursing and watching an HBO or Showtime original series on demand.  What a difference a little baby makes!
