There's a quote from the dad from the showOrange County Choppers that always cracks me up:
"What was was was, what is is is, and what is is right now."
It sounds so ridiculous and pseudo prophetic, but deep down, underneath its jumbled exterior, there's an honest sentiment. The past is the past, the present is the present and the present is reality. It's a silly, slightly incoherent reminder not to dwell on the past, but to live in the present.
Also, in the many "ifs" I'm constantly thinking about: if I ever put out two albums, the first would be titled "What Was" - because first albums are always about and informed by the entirety of your life up until that point - and the second would be "What Is" - because a second album is always, always informed by what's happened between putting out the first album and creating the second one, there's some going back, but the far past has been forever tweaked but the recent pasts influence on your paradigm.

About Me
- Jen
- When I was 5 I starred as a precocious toe-head in a popular sitcom that lasted for three seasons and can still be seen in syndication on Pax TV. At the age of 8 I had a botched nosejob that couldn't be repaired until my features matured, effectively ruining what critics had hailed as the beginning of a promising career. Luckily, my financial manager took the bulk of my earnings from the show and invested in his high school best friend's risky upstart tech company known as Apple. Now that my hundreds of thousands are now millions I live on a large compound in the hills of Hollywood and breed shitz-a-poos for fun. While I spend most of my time petitioning the American Kennel Association to recognize my new breed I also enjoy the olive bar at Whole Foods, learning Spanish from my housekeeper Helga, and frivolous lawsuits. None of this is true, but if it was, I wouldn't have a blog.
