Why Crows?

For those of you who wonder onto my page you will begin to question the name of my blog. Well in 08' I toured with a band called Scuba Team Go. (fun dudes) Danny had written a line for one of their songs, "crows on my back porch." I asked him time and time again what he meant and being the play it cool guy he was he would always say I dunno. Finally I caught him on a serious or off day and he said most people are facing things always coming at you knocking down your front door. So we run out the back door and there the crows are waiting because we've let what we wanted or dreamt to do behind and died inside.

Even if thats not what he meant thats what I'm going with. With my past couple of years I've had the crows waiting for me on my front porch just waiting for me to come outside. Trying to get me to fear what lies ahead. And I'm not ashamed to say for a while I was....terrified in all actuality. Yet, like anybody facing a fear you find inspiration and you overcome. For my music friends you will think its hilarious but I'm serious that the The Lone Rangers inspired me. Brendan Fraser starts talking about the grim reaper tattoo on his back shoulder to remind him of how fast life goes and he doesn't have time to sit around.

People view death as a horrible scary thing that they run out the back door to get away from. I find peace in embracing the time while I have it. Living life and enjoying it as long as I can. As long as you do the best you can everyday who can judge you. Live laugh and cry in one day and you have lived a good day is what Jimmy V. would say. Face life and embrace it!
