Here’s a slightly confusing and disjointed episode where I try to tie up over a year of JennyK.
Not possible, I know I didn’t do a great job on this one. But I just need to get my feet wet again and truth is; I’ve missed it. So take it for what it’s worth. Got some news and places to check out.

Belief

A belief is a thought you keep thinking

Abraham Hicks

Transcript

A belief is a thought you keep thinking.
At any time you can choose another thought.
And you can make that into a belief.
A habit is a belief is a thought you keep thinking.
You can change a thought so you can change a belief so you can change a habit.

That is in your power.

That is in your essential power that is you.
You, your spirit, your soul, your god, your faith.
Your thoughts.
It’s all you.
And nothing is more important than you. And if you feel… good.
You know that it is right.

A belief is a thought you keep thinking. A habit is a belief is a thought you keep thinking.

Change your thought; change your life.

You are, in fact, the centre of the universe.
And that is the fact of life.

You can live the life you want. You can live your dream. You can be happy.
You can be utterly joyful, blissful, happy. If that is your choice.
You can be healthy, strong. You can be everything you want. If that is your choice.
If that is your joy. If that is your bliss. There’s only one catch.

You can never go back. You can never even for a second go back to what you think is real.
Because it’s not, not anymore.

What is real is now. Any other reality is irrelevant, is unnecessary.
If you bring it forward; that bad thing that happened, that thing that was so real… before; it will be real again.

Because by choosing to bring it forward… you choose to live it again.

It’s your choice. Do you want to live that again? Do you want to keep living the so called real life that you’ve been living for so long?

No.

You want to live now. And now changes everything. Because what you are now will be what you are later.

You can choose your thoughts.

A belief is a thought you keep thinking. You can change your thought.
That is in your power. And your power is endless, unlimited…

Pure, positive energy.

House of Imp 15 – October madness

Reading Time: 2 minutes

There is just something strange about October.

Play

Windy, rainy, the days are growing darker, and life switch gears. That’s what it feels like for me anyways. Here is another somewhat eklectic podcast episode for you.

We hear Imp going a bit mad no thanks to yours truly. We hear a new flash fiction piece narrated by Billy a.k.a Sriracha with music by neil a.k.a Rolf from Kompoz.com.

I give you the word of the month to ponder and learn something about.
“Gaslighting”. I’ll give you a hint; Gaslighting does not require flatulence and a bic lighter. 😀

And there is a new song that is not yet finalized. My pumpkin was written by joey a.k.a JoeyAlomar who added bass, guitar and drums along with motivation and encouragement. There’s additional guitar by Tony a.k.a StratCas, and the rest is my creation; stuff like even more guitars, piano, sax, lyrics, vocals and production. You will hear the very first sneak preview right here as the collaboration is still private and under highest secrecy. 🙂 There is a reason why I don’t add a link to this collaboration as this song will go public in time for Halloween and no sooner.
This recording is licensed as all rights reserved. Listen all you want, comment please, and you do have special permission to share this all you want. Spread the weird. 😀

Let’s not forget to wish a fantastic

happy birthday Dan Savage

who is the coolest sex columnist ever. Let us all wish him lots of cake and a great year!

Enjoy this October madness. Just consider it priming for Halloween.

My pumkin lyrics

By Jenny K Brennan 2014

There’s a bird on a branch in a tree in a forest not far from me.
It serenades me and I know the type.
And there’s a man on a chair with a feather in his hair.
He says with this we can all fly.
He says with this we can all fly forever more.

Don’t burst my bubble I believe there’s a genie in my bottle.
A genie in my bottle.
Don’t tease my pumpkin.
I believe there’s a fairy and a gnome making babies on my lawn.

There’s a cat on a shelf with a glassy stare.
Watching me watching you.
This is what it’s saying.
There’s a place over there where
the stars and the sky and the ghosts gather round.
For tea on your patio.

Once upon a time we all believed.

Don’t burst my bubble I believe there’s a genie in my bottle.
A genie in my bottle.
Don’t tease my pumpkin.
I believe there’s a fairy and a gnome making babies on my lawn.

Glass slippers fit
Hans and gretel came home.
Trolls are misunderstood
Of course it is so.
Glass slippers fit
Tales are never too tall.
heroes will never fall.
Of course it is so

They’re building houses out of shrooms.
I’ll make you believe
This is for real.
They’re making babies on my lawn

don’t burst my bubble…

A network of complications

Will I ever learn to know things?

Play

I’ve learned so many bad habits and damaging patterns of thought in my life. Sometimes I think I’m so mart I can top a tar. Wohoo. One thing I’ve learned is that unlearning happens in small chunks; slowly. Here’s my list of things learned during 2013.

Now if I can just found the grammar books I lost it someplace.

Transcript

Edumecated.

I learnded good.

I do try to learn one new thing every day. It doesn’t always happen that way but now I have gathered up the more important lessons from last year 2013. Since this is a new year I’m going to use those lessons to learn other things or avoid mistakes.

I have learned that my dog is insane; He has a craving for V8 which is a vegetable juice and I can’t open a can without him pawing at me.

I have learned that audio terms are stupid. A limiter is used to get a loud mix. When you pull the threshhold down the volume goes up. And what the hell is an expander? I haven’t learned that yet. No wonder it’s taking me forever to learn.

I have learned that there are no good excuses not to finish what you started.

I have learned that there are many many many many bad excuses that are almost as valid.

I have learned that all gear are not created equal.

I have learned that nobody is perfect and

It’s hard to move back in with your parents.

I have learned that too much coffee gives me gut rot and not enough food gives me a headache.

I have learned that if I don’t do dishes for a few days they pile up.

And I’ve also learned how much I hate doing dishes.

I have learned that having a husband that cooks food every day is essential to my survival.

I have learned that guitar picks disappear in this studio. If you don’t believe me bring all of your picks here and watch them vanish.

I have learned that cables will not untangle themselves.

Another important thing I’ve learned is that I do my best work between three and seven in the morning.

I have learned that Golden retriever furr is bad for vacuum-cleaners. If you don’t believe me you can borrow mine. The dog, not the vacuum-cleaner.

I have learned that guitars sure as hell don’t tune themselves.

Canadian winters suck ass.

And spiders live in the corners of this studio. I’m so glad I can’t see them.

So, what did you learn last year?
