Today is May 30th and life is loud.
Life has felt very loud lately. Ideas are loud, people are loud, busyness is loud. I’ve been trying to filter out the noise this weekend and it’s been nice, but it still manages to get in through all the things I have that plug into the wall. I bought the Riceboy Sleeps record yesterday and I’ve had it on a loop for 24 hours now and there are no words (or really even tunes) to...

May 365. This was a really, really bad month for 365 and I missed about 12 days. Hoping to get back on the 365 horse in June.

April 365. This is the month where I fell off the 365 wagon. I blame the Nashville Film Festival.

One Week Later
It’s crazy to think that a week ago today the entire city was hunkered down while Nashville flooded and flooded, and then flooded some more. Some of us already had water pouring into our houses or our friends’ houses, much of the damage was fresh and none of us really knew what to do with it all. In one week’s time, my brain has become this bizarre archive of emergency phone...

Nashville Knucklehead: Tennessee Waltz →
I’m sitting at home with my little girl as the Nashville Symphony is giving a free concert downtown. I don’t think it was intended to be free, but the Symphony Hall flooded, so they’re playing in the downtown square. This came across my Twitter just now: “Symphony just played a kick ass version of tennessee waltz and a lot of folks crying.” I damn near lost it just reading that. The...

AGrov.es: Won't You Be My Neighbor? →
Enough has been said about the flood so I won’t go into generalities of that (saving those for a Raven blog post tomorrow), but there is one thing I do want to get out there that I haven’t seen many people talking about. Your neighborhood. Tonight, I met up with a few of my neighbors, most of who were complete strangers to me, to hand out food and drinks to folks in the neighborhood who...

We Are Nashville [Cellblock303] →
But let’s look at the other side of the coin for a moment. A large part of the reason that we are being ignored is because of who we are. Think about that for just a second. Did you hear about looting? Did you hear about crime sprees? No…you didn’t. You heard about people pulling their neighbors off of rooftops. You saw a group of people trying to move two horses to higher ground. No…we didn’t...
