I am here to learn too, feel free to bring something to my attention. Reply through here or DM directly. Thank you!

I keep forgetting that it’s St. Patrick’s Day. Hopefully you didn’t. https://www.instagram.com/p/B93K_IxABq3/?igshid=kgvc0gztm5vs

My last final is on Wednesday. Seeing how everything is shutting down. I think I might try my hand in podstyle type videos or vlog (vlogging?) to keep from falling into boredom/despair. 1. Would anyone watch? 2. Should it be all questions based on submissions? 3. Should I just talk openly about what’s on my mind? 4. Should I have a topic I regularly talk about (sports, mental health, music, jazzercise)? Thoughts??? I’m serious. https://www.instagram.com/p/B90rJejpW44/?igshid=i77j0do2jiqq

This was my Midnight. Really cool that I found this a couple weeks after his birthday. I was there when he was born, wish I there when he left. Tag me if you have pictures of your first pet. The OG. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9zXpJ_peLB/?igshid=16cm6k5c7yog0

Wish @martinjaaaames happy birthday if you haven’t already! Crazy to think I’ve been friends with those dude for about 15 years. Love you buddy. (I’ll probably keep using this picture every year) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9yEcSAAf4L/?igshid=1awbh8uo8nrcv

Sorry ladies, I will not be able to go on any dates in the couple weeks, possibly more. It’s out of my hands. I am sorry. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9wn1DaJsRD/?igshid=1a24lf0z4aob3

Watch on YouTube. Helpful for lowering stress/anxiety in regards to the coronavirus. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9vEbxapBVL/?igshid=ir4l02j48l4b

Just in case anyone was unclear on what PMJB is or means. What it is: Chris, Justin, and myself cover mostly punk rock songs but we do them acoustic. I say “mostly” because we also have been known to cover some songs out of the punk rock genre (Tom Petty, Creedence Clear Water Revival, Dramarama). It’s fun. What is means: “Playing Music Just Becsuse” it’s a line from the NOFX song Dinosaurs Will Die. I think that line is powerful and lacking hard today. Life has been rough as of late and I’ve found myself singing more. In my car and I’ll even sing on study breaks. This might not sound out of the ordinary if you know that I used to sing, a lot. But I stopped singing and listening to music in general around 2015. I’d listen occasionally but it always almost out completely. Especially singing. I think I felt that I needed a reason to sing, like I was training or preparing for something. I’ve fallen back in love with singing. It’s been helping my current situation. I encourage anyone who hasn’t used music as therapy to try it. Or just to sing...just because. #pmjb (at Union Barber and Beer Lodge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ZxqcCJsDo/?igshid=6dca79imrdok

Shame on me for thinking she would be singing to a track or even lip syncing. She was was truly incredible. Truly a diva. Truly the whistle tone / run queen. @meganxgolden and I have done some pretty cool things together, this might be the coolest. My throat is sore from talking / failed whistle note attempts. #lostvegas #alwaysbemybaby https://www.instagram.com/p/B9LYSX5gbeU/?igshid=1fomgncl2vvln

All made possible by whistles and runs https://www.instagram.com/p/B9FQrZeJl3x/?igshid=g2o9mq8yllsj
