The scientific term for brain freeze is “sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia”.
~ can you pronounce this? I know I can’t!

today, I may go a little off the rails…I haven’t done this in a while, and I’m just going to have fun and go with the flow!

Honestly, I don’t even play an active role in my life anymore…
things just happen & I’m like
“Oh, is this what we’re doing now?
OK.”

Once upon a time…
I was hungry and that’s what happened to your chocolate

hope you enjoy!

ten gallon hats: a large broad-brimmed hat, with a high rounded crown, traditionally worn by cowboys. It is best known as the defining piece of clothing for the North American cowboy.

No one really knows where the term came from, but according to thevintagenews.com, the term dates back to 1925. The most conventional explanation being that the hat holds “ten gallons of water”, but this isn’t true. The thinking is that the word “gallon” actually comes from the Spanish word “galón” which means “braid”, so a ten gallon hat is actually any hat that has braiding around the brim.

Don’t be all hat and no cowboy

Studio Time:

every track you blast through your headphones
that effortless sound
took a whole lot of effort
the studio is for the grind
straining your fingers
and your vocal chords
in search of that perfect take
but it’s worth every second
because that sound will live forever
