   Here it is! The Saricorn tattoo... It kind of hurt, seeing as how there's lots of nerves and tendons in the wrist,  but it was completely worth it! Thanks to Tim Bobeck at Lone Wolf Tattoo in Nashville, TN

On the eve of the 10th Anniversary (I hate this word for this particular day) of 9/11, here are some of my thoughts... O First and foremost, I can't help but think of all those who have died and whose lives have been changed because of this horrific attack. For those who used their skills and talents and hearts to help save, rebuild, and reach out to all affected, they are heroes, in my eyes.

Change yourself in the way you want everyone else to change Love your enemies in case your friends turn out to be jerks Avoid thinking about winning the lottery while making love Brainwash yourself before someone nasty beats you to it Confess big secrets to people who aren't very interested Write a love letter to your evil twin during a lunar eclipse Fool the tricky red beasts guarding the Wheels

Happy Friday! I just woke up to a beautiful day in Salem, VA! So...during last week's Saricorn Sessions, I announced a pretty neat opportunity! In case you miss it, here's the deal: I am making a video for "Always You" and I want YOU to be in it!

Sometimes I feel completely alone. I mean, not just single, or living by myself, or have no one to talk to - type of alone...but A-L-O-N-E. Like no one else on earth thinks or feels what I feel/think. That I'm in my own little bubble, or might as well be on my own island or country. Johannaland. And no one cares or gives a shit to want to know me. I mean, me...the real me. It seems no one wants

My life has been a struggle between what I really want to do (jump up and scream and be heard and do something wild and crazy), what I probably should do, what I feel others want me to do, and what I want to do for everyone else. Now, let me first say, I have a wonderful life. I know there are so many out there who don't have as much as I have, and I am fully aware of my blessings, and am truly

So...a couple of weeks ago, I decide to take a break from the modern technology we all have seemed to become accustomed to - cell phone (texting, and EVERYTHING else you can do on it) and the internet. Why?? Well, I found myself having almost panic/anxiety attacks from feeling the need to constantly check my email for that important message, or check (or spy, as we have become used to) on the

So, why do I have tears in my eyes? haha...that's a complicated question, with so many answers. I do know that on my way home tonight, I tried all 3 country radio stations, to find something to take me away from reality, but all took me straight there...or where I would like to be. But it wasn't what I wanted to hear. I don't want to be reminded of a lost love, love gone wrong, a happy love....

So, I decided to sign up for another social network site (besides facebook, twitter, and myspace)...why, you ask? I don't know...meet more peeps, I guess. Ok...so I upload a picture, add in all my personal info - birthday, location, etc. Then...they want me to fill out the "About Me" section. Ok. No problem. Wait.

Here's a new song I just wrote, called "I'm Free"....audio/video to come soon... I’m Free (Jacobsen, July 2010) Silence is thickening As these walls are closing in I can’t see a thing Standing on my own No comfort I’ve ever known I’m not ready for this I’m lost Can’t breathe This is not the way it was Supposed to be I’m tired Of the tears And all that I have left Is me And they say I’m free

While I have listened to tons of different singer/songwriters in this town - of all genres - I am still in complete amazement of each person's own sound. Even if they are semi-copying someone else, I believe that their true soul is coming out in their music - thru their instrument - guitar, keys, vocals, etc. - and words.  And it always amazes me the rhythm, feel, and sound of that soul....

Hey, fellow crazy musicians/songwriters/artists!! I am in the process of getting together an email list so i can send you some great info on how to better your career!!! There is a website that is in the process of being built - and will hopefully be done by May 1 - that will bring every music website together into one, easy to use, educational, resourceful site where you learn EVERYTHING

Let's "Do It Again"!! OK!!! Soooo...a little change of plans! Unfortunately, during this competition for Strum Magazine (see below for details) this week, there were some hackers, using a program to increase votes by a ton!! This made the competition unfair....soooo...we will be doing this again, starting Monday. You will have to register to vote now, but only once....then you can VOTE AS OFTEN

And of course, my eyes and ears are wide open to learn from them as they make their way into this new world. I've already been able to watch friends showcase for labels, get label deals, get

There’s a reason for everything, I suppose. At least that’s what I’ve been told…and to an extent, I believe it to be true. We have our reasons…I guess that’s why we do what we do. Though some don’t always understand, or approve, we do it anyway…because we have a reason. So why do you what you do? Why do I insist on being a songwriter/singer, chasing the dream, living on pennies, stressed to make
