Well... just because you're now suddenly unemployed, that does NOT mean you have to feel like it😂 I turned the BIG FIVE-O yesterday...

Where did the time go? Been married forever it seems, happily too... and been a PROUD citizen for over a decade now, which took me 14 years to achieve, it was NOT handed to me, THAT is for sure. I love this country and I always wanted to do something that could be of some value here, not just to myself, but to others too. Wherever am I today, coming here as a young hopeful immigrant in 2000, risking it all and absolutely being a bit silly and dreaming too much, I have zero regrets. Not looking back...

I may be driving an Amazon truck next year, or on the big stage... who knows? Whatever it may be, I will accept it with gratefulness and appreciation just to be here in this country. Life have given me hard times, that's an understatement... but the reward and joy in my heart, it has been worth everything and I am thankful. To every citizen of the USA, thank you for taking me in and for giving me a chance to prove myself a decent citizen. It's an honor everyday to live besides you all, even if we don't agree on every subject. THIS is where my loyalty, service and love truly is.

If you haven't yet... I'd love for you to check out an album I did during Covid...

Cataclysmic Phenomenon The Pocket Thieves · Album · 2024 · 9 songs

Ok, during Covid, I started a new band, The Pocket Thieves ATX. I sought out new people. People I didn't know, people outside my usual crowd. I knew Shawn Pander(The singer), but he kinda joined last minute as he took an interest to my concept. We ended up writing an entire album in 3 months and recorded it... due to life's circumstances it ended up taking 2 years to mix, master and release... But, here it is, should anyone of you feel like showing us all some support.

We priced the album as low as possible because we just want people to have access to it and maybe share it if they dig it. There was no real reason for this band and this recording, other than turning a very bad and concerning time in this world, into a better time. For us, it was a huge mental release and there's a lot of love behind this band and this recording. It's not perfect, because finances were an issue during 2020/21 as you all know, but with the help of good friends and especially the help of my touring buddy, Darren Hurst, who took on the challenge to mix and fix this recording, it made it out to the world.

We're excited the album is finally here... we're also talking about getting the band back together, as we do have more tunes we wrote after this recording and we might even do another album. So who knows... we'll let the universe decide I think... Let's see how this next month turns out.
