Ohh them lips need kissing 👄

It’s all in the can man, ready to go. I can’t wait babe. This is a huge milestone for me and my music. I feel like an 8-year-old kid standing in line to see Star Wars for the 22nd time, for the first time, which I did at the Chrisanta Twin in Theater, Mission Viejo […]

Ten Examples Of Apologies That Validate The Other

  • I had a lot going on that day, I appreciate your understanding and “getting” that.
  • With no one to vent to, sometimes you get the buildup, its just your proximity to me babe.
  • Even though I know the news is created to inflame me about Trump, I still let it do its worst. That’s dumb of me. I’m sorry.
  • I feel like we don’t communicate so I inadvertently compensate for that sometimes by overcommunicating sometimes, which reveals my need to communicate but I’m sorry, I’ll find other venting avenues, like meditation.
  • Because of how I am, I need a schedule every hour, every day. When I don’t take the time, everybody is fair game and you happened to be there. I’m sorry. It’s a daily struggle sometimes.
  • That annoying blunder was totally my fault but I have taken steps to ensure it will not happen again, I’m sorry for any inconvenience it caused you.
  • I’m just sorry. That wasn’t the higher self I try to be. I’d love to have another chance.
  • I was drowning in a sea of “shoulds” when all I “should” do in my life is practice self-love.
  • I forgot that everything I need is within me.
  • I was on my “man period.” (Maybe not this last one but with the right audience, it will work).

peace out.

The Time Machine CH1

Happy Sunday to all my Beaches and Horrors out there! Today I offer you a new podcast episode, about 30 mins long as they have been as of late.

In this one, I take on chapter one of the original book. I did “Call of The Wild” this way, doing an episode on each chapter and a culminating episode with guests where I reviewed the modern film. I figure I’ll repeat that with this fucken awesome dime store novel. Wanna be on the final? Hit me up. I got stories of my beaches and horrors. Meet me and them, always for free at ⁠RileyOnFilm.com⁠

Crackle O’ The Wind – All Caught Up 09/02/2024

One track live acoustic and vocal from my apt

09/02/2024 – “All Caught Up’ Homeshow – 1 of 4 songs I’m posting from the show

Lyrics: A little child inside Hears owls hoot The radiant evening’s soon Games are played Streetlight Approved In the Crackle of the Wind A little Raven head steps up to the stool to see the moon from a ragged room A night dress is hemmed at a mother’s spool In the Crackle of the Wind And I can hear the wind sing Way Oh Way Oh A song is played in some dark room Someone’s heart is deeply moved Season’s change their different hues in the Crackle of the Wind And I can hear the wind sing Way Oh Way Oh
