Dangerous Intersection: Live Oak Plantation Road and Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, Florida

This is the intersection where I had my accident back in February and lost my car, Venom. It was a less than a year since I had finished paying Venom off so it was a major bummer, to say the least, and was probably the worst traffic accident I had ever been involved in. Even [...]

The End of An Era: Rest in Peace Venom [05/2003 - 02/2009]

I was in a pretty bad car accident this past Saturday. A car struck me on the front left hand side of my vehicle with the front right hand side of theirs. It was probably one of the most disorienting experiences I’ve ever been in since I did not expect it, or see it coming. [...]

Humbly I’ll Fall at Acoustic Ovation

I started writing Humbly I’ll Fall late last year towards the end of November/Beginning of December. I really enjoy playing the verse chords on this track, they make me want to do ‘The Rock.’ You’ll have to ask me about ‘The Rock’ later, but I will say that it was born doing Isreal Houghton’s Not [...]

Clouds performed at Acoustic Ovation, January 2009

Clouds is the 5th song from the Acoustic Ovation set in January. I really like this song. I think the chord changes are nice and I enjoyed where I began to write it, which was in the built in amphitheatre in downtown Tallahassee at Kleman Plaza. I happened to look up at the sky as [...]

Here I Am at Acoustic Ovation

Here I Am is the 3rd song from the set at Acoustic Ovation. I believe it’s probably the oldest song I performed that night (aside from the Ramen Noodle song). It’s a simple song but I really like the chord progression. For some reason I have a small issue remembering lyrics, and since this song [...]

What Dreams May Come at Acoustic Ovation

Like I mentioned previously, I performed a small concert where I did 9 Sammy J original tunes and 1 U2 cover. This is the second song from the set and it’s called What Dreams May Come. OH! I forgot to mention, Blake and I didn’t decide to co-ordinate colors that night. Keila and or Nat [...]

Stop Pretending at Acoustic Ovation

I got to do a house concert in January for an event called Acoustic Ovation here in Tallahassee, Florida. I performed 9 Sammy J originals and a U2 cover called Kite. A good time was had and the songs felt like they came across pretty good as well. You can help me decide I guess [...]

Florida’s Amendment 2 = California’s Proposition 8

There are arguments that in Florida, this amendment isn’t necessary since there are statutes that already restrict marriage in Florida to 1 man and 1 woman. From Florida Statute 741.212 (1): “Marriages between persons of the same sex entered into in any jurisdiction … domestic or foreign … or relationships between persons of the same [...]

Emcee Murder: 2nd Opening Song from the Show at Amen Ra

This is the second song we performed at the show I mentioned recently. Hope you enjoy. We started getting a little more comfortable with the set by now, but I started the song a little bit too slow. We had originally intended on doing another song, but during our second practice the night before, we [...]

Gym Chats: New Year’s Resolution: God’s Will Be Done!

Pastor Ron has an excellent post over on his blog about being careful about what we say and how we should be careful to not use GOD as an excuse for our decisions. It’s a must read, please head on over to the blog and read the post. Here is an excerpt of the article. [...]
