Enlightenment if you will

No surprise, I'm behind schedule with an update, but tonight, back in the middle of one of the most remote places on earth, I had an indescribable moment of connection to the universe (Samantha being the conduit) -"enlightenment" if you will. I wrote some of the most meaningfully inadequate words I've ever written about that moment -here's a bit:

"My woman is the wilderness,

my lost-ness

the kiss,

bliss,

endless

the one truth,

one mystery,

she is eternity,

treachery

my ending,

beginning

birthing 10 thousand things,

the birth of me.

My woman is

before

and beneath

and between

she is the seams,

nothing,

the dream..."

"My Muse Got The Swing"

Woke up with this tune in my head yesterday morning -so it was thrown together pretty fast. Gotta feed the muse by working on what she gives me! I can't squander the inspiration that I'm given, and I've noticed that by acknowledging it I get more!

Promo Video for The Wilderness: A Rock Opera

I made a promotional video for the rock opera (with a lot of help)! Not only does Serena make a great witch, she's got some great ideas, and an eye for editing as well. I wrangled Samantha and Willie in to help as well. It's a lot of fun and a lot of work, but 8 hours later, it's shot, edited and on its way to the web! It's exactly what was needed at this point for people to get a better sense of what's the overall atmosphere is going to be, and to understand that I'm serious about this project!

Romance & Nostalgia

There's nothing like listening to all the beautiful songs that make up the soundtrack of our lives together and crying our eyes out! I love you Samantha!

No Budget Set Design

Samantha and I have been working on set design and lighting for the Where the Wild Things Are - 4/20 - Monster Farm Jam! Either it's crazy grass or green fire! Either way it's great for monsters! By no budget I mean about $30us for panels and $50us for LED lighting. 

Witch's House -A First Look

A first look at the witch's house in the daytime. I'm starting to be able to imagine what the graphic novel will look like, and I'm getting excited! Looking good Mr. Grinder!

Fair Trade Music

Music venues: I love you, I give 110% for you, I literally play until my fingers bleed for you, I get your audience on their feet and screaming, and I will no longer play for you without a guaranteed payment. Mike Mudd is now a Fair Trade Music performer.

(...and a huge thanks to those venues that already provide a guarantee!)

Mike Mudd -Target of an Assassin?

Found this in my email box this morning:

"YOU HAVE BEEN TARGETED FOR ASSASSINATION OVER A PAST MUSICAL MATTERS. A HIRED INTERNATIONAL ASSASSIN HAS BEEN HIRED TO KILL YOU.

AGENT BAUER .
Force INTELLIGENCE BUREAU"

Hey at least someone thinks my music is making an impact...

Burning the Midnight Oil

Working until 3:00am again, and on a Friday night too... The pitfalls of working at home and having OCD.

"I Hate You" -New Song

This is what my witch thinks of all of you.
