Move it Monday: Life is Tough
The reason self help books don’t work for everyone is that life is unpredictable and no matter how much you want to prepare, you will fall and scrape your knee or bump your head but being assertive and being prepared can help those curve balls that Ms. Destiny likes to throw at you. For that reason, the quote of the week is simply, “When life is tough, get a helmet.” Read more

Great music: Paid Dues hip-hop fest
It feels bittersweet using my introductory post to this lovely blog as a simultaneous salutation and pre-emptive farewell, but it’s how it has to be. That’s not to say I won’t be posting as frequently as possible leading up to the return to my hometown of Austin, Texas this August. I intend to blog my big, Southern heart out. But I may as well divulge the departure here, now, because living anywhere other than Southern California – my home for the past seven years and base as a music journalist and photographer for most of the last four years – ties into the purpose of this post.
Which is to give a shout out to a exceptional sector of this region’s music scene that I will miss terribly: independent and underground hip-hop.
