Yes...I think it has been proven that this leads to CANCER. =) No bueno homes. My friend, David, started a blog when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer: http://web.me.com/davidgreen/David_Greens_Prostate_Cancer_Blog/Home.html David thought no one would care when he wanted to start the blog, but I think it ultimately helped him stay strong. "i’m not going to use this blog as platform to discuss the daily successes and failures of my treatment and recovery because i have to do that work on my own." Yes you do have to do the work on your own, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't have cheerleaders! GO TEAM PEANUT BUTTER!!! ;) “i don’t think its honest or healthy to pretend i got it all together.” Yes…I think it has been proven that this leads to CANCER. =) No bueno homes.

(javi and dolly and critters do too!) i am so proud of you! it is incredibly honest and brave of you to be so up front… so vulnerable. i know that the path you are on is not an easy one… self discovery can suck. but i’m so glad you are taking care of yourself. music is an important part of who you are (too ambitious? ha, ha) and will always be, whether you are working with the pbe, composing, deconstructing, learning guitar, teaching music appreciation, or singing in the shower. as i’ve known since the day i met you, and every day since; music is who you are. it is the mistress that keeps you from our bed until the early morning hours; the bitch who you spend your time with when you are in “maestro mode”; the enchantress that encapsulates and lulls me and your audiences when performed. she ain’t going anywhere.

On another note, when are we hooking up to perform live? If nothing else, I'll cut you parts and you can play with LSE - just gotta find a venue!! -Steve Hey Paul:
