Blood Bond
Since Halloween just passed I thought I might throw together a few songs with a bloody theme… Sort of. I know I am reaching on this theme but in truth, this post is about how we are all connected. We all share the same blood. We are all human. We need to come together and…

Looking back, I can now pin point when those moments occurred, as well as the most impactful emotional segways that altered the course of my journey, from a whisper to a scream. My wife and I just finished binging…
