Waiting for the doctor

On a recent trip to a funeral in Birmingham, I caught this funny conversation between my kinfolk.

My wife, daughter and I took a trip to Kansas.

Why I love the Florida heat so much in 3 parts

This should have been a simple story to tell but for some reason my audio files were not working and I had to work on this much harder than I wanted and so in the end I literally threw it all together because I have other things to do besides get my podcast out, lol. I did not even get a chance to listen back through it one time. However, the intention was to have long periods of pond sounds becau...

Our neighbor has a squeaky dryer that is driving us crazy

The hardships catch up with me.

My friend Edy sent me a music track and I tell a story while playing the track. Correction from the story: When I said "cases" of cigarettes what I meant was "packs." We never bought cases but the proper word just did not come to me in the moment. This is a recurring problem with me. I stumble on the correct words to describe things how I see them in my head.

Just grabbed a voice memo from last April here. Seemed like a good memory. However, my daughter is 12 not 13 like I said in the audio. My kids are 12 and 15 not 13 and 15. I don't know what my problem was getting her age wrong like that.

Since my business burned down a year ago, I was making recordings but not podcasts.... Tonight I finally grabbed some old recordings and stitched them together for the Twitter fan who asked. Mostly my last year has been about my obsession with making tiles.

A personal story with a bit of philosophy thrown in. Music by my good friend Edy, thanks Edy

I named this one Anxiety then I wondered if I might have already named one that so I looked and yes, #38 was titled Anxiety so I'll call this one Anxiety2. I may have an Anxiety3 before my life is done.... In this episode I decide to let the episodes go longer than 15-20 minutes and not worry about that, and I talk (to myself) about my issues, about the summer, and about tire pressure.

I felt like making audio tonight so I collaged some audio of teaching my son to drive, my daughters band concert, an uber driver in new york in the summer of 2016, me rambling about tile making, and the best podcast moment of all time.... It's background sound while you do stuff sorta listening.

I go visit the kindergarten and first grade children. I spin a couple pizza doughs and talk about my job. Man, it's great to hear the kids going nuts in this one.

I return from Spring Break at the beach to go to work. I feel the heavy weight of my responsibilities and I gather sounds from work. I like restaurant sounds. I like the sound of the dishes, chopping vegetables, the kitchen banter, the customers.... So I play some sounds from work. I like simple things in life, but I feel the weight of adulthood because I have so many things I am juggling. This is...

An unfortunate event at work led to a disagreement with some employees which made me really depressed and upset. I left town for a couple days to get over it. I made the recording here but almost decided against releasing it because it really doesn't say all it should and says a lot of things that are useless. The problem I had at work had nothing to do with illegal immigrants I only use this...

This is the third time I am trying to upload this track. The last 2 times they had saved wrong and parts were missing. I don't understand how I can save them then go to upload and whole parts just gone? But it's probably because my mind is so scrambled. I hate to be so negative but this is an audio journal and I'm in a bad place. This would be a good therapy if I didn't keep go...

My old friend Edy sends me some audio from China where he's been living for a while now.

There are 2 buildings on my restaurant property. Building A caught fire Feb 28, 2012. Building B caught fire Dec 5th, 2016. What a nightmare. SO hard to describe this event but here's what I got on the audio side. Music by Edy as always but these are tracks I already had. I want to move past this fire but I know it will take some time. I'm looking forward to 2017.

Lately I have been sending my audio to my friend Edy to play music for. I sent him Thanksgiving 2016 audio right after Thanksgiving and a few weeks later he says he thinks it's fine without added music. I feel relief and release the audio I had (adding a bit of Edy music in the beginning) and start working on something new. THEN Edy send me HIS re-editing of the original and I listen and find...

Just a few recordings from our Thanksgiving Family Reunion trip to Panama City, Florida.

I glue my daughters science fair board up while making a big mess. Meanwhile my main concern is that my wife is mad because Trump was elected president. Edy Sanchez makes a musical score as always, thanks Edy.

Apologize for the terrible sound quality in my car with iphone on dash... I didn't send this one to Edy for music because the audio was so bad and I already have some Edy music I can add and keep real low in the background. I wish I was better at telling my story, but I also know I wouldn't ever go to the trouble of re-telling it so.... I am posting this for the history of it. I'm e...

So a couple things are happening. My ceiling fan is getting fixed by my electrician but more importantly I am experimenting with the telling of a simple story in conjunction with my friend Edy doing the music. I send him a track and he puts music on. Hopefully I can make a better audio story (without a vacuum going in background) very soon because Edy's music is great.... the best part of my...

I sent the audio to my friend Edy Sanchez and he made a soundtrack for it. In the past I just used music I had of his but now we are trying out this new collaboration. In this episode I am trying to fix a ceiling fan and feeling defeated.
