Since this blog began twelve years ago, I have documented many moments. Lots of those have been Duran focused like the release of a new album or video. Some of them have been historical like an election or a tragic event. A few of them have been personal. This blog is going to be one… Continue reading The Silence Waiting to Fall

I Give Thanks
I am happy to report that I am, indeed, alive. A blog post is long overdue. I know. Part of me (a big part of me) wants to apologize but I’m fighting that. There are no requirements about when to post or how often to post or even what to chat about. Speaking of topics,… Continue reading I Give Thanks
Change Is Coming Down the Line
It has been awhile since I sat down to write a blog. It isn’t for lack of having something to say but lack of time. I’ll also be honest it has also because my Duran fandom has moved down in my priority list. This isn’t because my love for the band has lessened or because… Continue reading Change Is Coming Down the Line

I have frequently said that this year was the perfect storm when a lot came crashing my way.… Continue reading Trading Shelter for Danger
Ten Years???
If you have been paying attention to Duran Duran’s social media at all lately, you have seen posts/tweets about the “Countdown” to the ten year anniversary of the band’s All You Need Is Now album. Some of the posts have been video clips that were released then, merchandise that was sold to mark the occasion,… Continue reading Ten Years???
The Joy of Song
I apologize that this blog post is so late. It was not my intention but I have to admit that I’m struggling. In fact, I might go so far to say that this is the most I have ever struggled, emotionally. I’m trying really hard to be “okay,” to keep it together, to keep moving… Continue reading The Joy of Song
