By now those of you who regularly visit this website might have realized that something is actually wrong in my world (my real world outside of the blog) and I’m not just being lazy. You would be correct. I am right now experiencing an indescribable amount of pain and sadness that cannot be rendered in words. I apologize to anyone who has checked my blog this week only to see that now-familiar cryptic metaphor still headlining the page. Although I am not comfortable sharing details, I will say that the clouds to which I referred Monday did not lift. The rain is now pouring in torrents. I’m sure the details will become clearer with time, but that’s all I am comfortable saying right now.
The irony is not lost on me that I — a man who is often described as being never at a loss for words — am at a loss for words. I’m still trying to process everything that’s happened over the course of the last 96 hours. My friends have all been amazing this week trying to keep my mind and body occupied. But it seems each time I return home at night I realize I am alone with my thoughts, deprived of sleep, growing sadder and sadder. So I have booked a flight back East to be with my family, as I think that really right now I need an amount of love and care that goes far beyond what my beautiful, loving, caring friends can provide.
Shop is still closed until further notice. Encouraging thoughts and well-wishes are always appreciated. Maintaining this website is one of my greatest joys in life. Given some time I think that I can rediscover that feeling.

Hey buddy… whatever has happened I’m sure you can and will overcome. I’m speaking from experience. Having relationships – including a marriage – end and losing both my parents in a 2 year period. Sucky stuff but not sucky enough to lose interest in life and music. I won’t find 2 great parents again in this life but I did marry a great lady 19 years ago this June and never thought that would happen before I met her. Your life has a lot of surprises left, many of them will be amazing. So chin up old boy, I promise it only gets better from where you now are.

Everything happens for a reason, my man. I’m sure it is beyond painful now, but every obstacle is a challenge to make yourself better and stronger. There is something better waiting for you on the other side, you just gotta show your true resilience and resolve, and that will get you there…
All the Best,
Alpo

Hey man! Hoping you’re feeling better! You’re fortunate that you have a family that loves you and that you can go to for support. It’s a HUGE asset and you’re wise to be utilizing it. I truly hope its helping and that the sun is at the very least peeking through the gloom.

Life unfolds and conditions never stop changing. There is an ancient Buddhist saying: This arising, that arises. This ceasing, that ceases. We have all been through everything together at one time or another. We can’t wait for the change we wanted. We can only move with the change we got. Open both doors: Let it flow in, do its worst, and flow out.
Peace to all.

The first “brainy quote” on Marcel Proust is “A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves”. I was looking for a song to let you know how we are all devoted to you but Marcel is what came first; he is a miracle and a necessity.
A la recherche du temps perdu.
“Il y a des jours montueux et malaisés qu’on met un temps infinis a gravir et des jours en pente qui se laissent descendre a fond de train en chantant”.
….and don’t forget the greasy burgers.
