I've been singing since I could remember. I started out singing in Choir at church, and performing musical theater in grade school, then high school. In my high school year book it is stated that I was willing to sacrifice myself for the theater, having been stabbed [for real] in the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Long story. In 1970, Jesus Christ Superstar premiered. I heard Ian Gillan's voice and that was it. I had never heard a rock singer perform in a theater production and it just hit me... that is what I want to do. Years later I would be the understudy for Jesus in said play, playing Simon throughout the production. I'm kind of a late bloomer. I never sang for a rock band until I was about 23 years old. When I finished high school I immediately joined the Marines and was planning on it being a long term commitment. As fate would have it though, I got a medical discharge on my second enlistment. I got hit by a car. Another long story. Seems to be a pattern with me. So now it has been many years, many recordings, many bands and hundreds of live shows. I've honed my voice pretty well I must say. I have been blessed to have worked with some amazing musicians from across the globe, as you will hear on my ReverbNation page, with many more to come. Peace, D

Always look on the bright side of Life!

Welcome to Thursday, November 16th which is a 1 in Numerology.

The 1 carries the energy of new beginnings, a fresh start, inspiration.

The past is the past and the only way to change the past is to accept it for what it was. If you are unwilling to change the past or don’t believe that you can. I use this analogy…

Look at the past as an old pair of sneakers, you’ve worn them for years and you just can’t part with them because they are so comfortable. You LOVE these sneakers. But you also know that you can run faster and without pain if you get a new pair. It’s a tough decision because these sneakers have run many a mile with you and they are quite sentimental. You go to the shoe store and you figure you’ll just try on a pair to see what they feel like. You aren’t convinced. They are stiff and you are very hesitant. Remind yourself that your old sneakers were once as stiff when they were new. You know deep down inside that you have to wear these new ones in. But the fear is gripping because you know that you’ll have to eventually part with these as well.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve hung on to old things as well. But eventually, you’ll look at these sneakers and ask yourself why you didn’t get a new pair a long time ago.

Fear is gripping. The comfort and pain that you are going through right now are much less fearful than the unknown. It’s taking baby steps in those sneakers until eventually, you are comfortable.

So today’s card is perfect. It’s ‘Positive thoughts create positive results.’

If you think that change is going to suck, then it will. If you see the bright side of everything it will be much easier to cruise through this life.

It’s only befitting that today’s song should be from Monty Python! They said it best in the movie, ‘The Life of Brian’.

‘Always look on the bright side of life.’

“When you’re chewing on life’s gristle. Don’t grumble, give a whistle.”

Innocence

Posted on

Welcome to Wednesday, November 15th which is a 9 in Numerology.

The 9 is about completion, harmony, and meditation. The day of rest where everything you’ve done up to now makes you who you are. If you aren’t accepting of it then it is a time for a change, but first, meditate on it. No drastic, immediate changes. That’s what has gotten you in trouble in the past.

Today’s card is Innocence. What is innocence?

When looking inward innocence is recognizing that although we are flawed we are like children. We are perfect. Deep inside we all just want to be loved, it’s our earthly self that thinks of all of this as bullshit. Our earthly self is the one that masks our hatred for ourselves with earthly possessions, comfort foods, addictions, etc. We keep ourselves busy with our ‘jobs’ (Just Over Broke) so we can buy more shit.

Once you start giving all of that up, at least the ‘need’ for it, that is when doors start opening for you, and they also close old stories that you’ve bought into for so long.

I understand though why people wouldn’t want to truly look at themselves. It’s hard to do. It’s difficult to heal those old wounds that you’ve inflicted on others… and on yourself.

Forgive yourself and then you will be able to forgive others. Baby steps. Don’t beat yourself up anymore. Start treating people like you wish to be treated, but if they don’t reciprocate, it’s ok… let it go. It’s their story, not yours.

Today’s song is; Change Me from my old band Shallow Man Down

“Can you change me from inside out? Will you change me from inside out?”

The Swan

Posted on

Welcome to Tuesday, November 14th which is an 8 in Numerology.

The 8 is about personal power, self-confidence, and inner strength. Combined with today’s card, The Swan, it is giving us a hint of who we can become… The Swan.

I’m sure you’ve heard the story of the Ugly Duckling before. The Ugly Duckling hides away, picked on, ridiculed until one day it becomes a beautiful swan. Take that analogy and mirror it unto yourself. The Ugly Duckling is you and your perception of yourself. Once you shed away your fears, bad self-perception, old stories, etc., that is when you become the Swan.

There is a reason that we see more Ugly Ducklings than Swans.

So few shed their feathers and hide in their old stories. The ones where they were abused, mentally, physically and emotionally. The ones where somebody said something to them that ‘made’ them who they are now. You will never become a Swan until you can leave those old stories behind.

Understand that in this paradigm that we live in that there will always be ‘good’ and ‘bad’, ‘happy’ and ‘sad’, etc. We have to accept both of them as equal partners because the Swan knows that you’ll never know true happiness until you’ve experienced true sadness.

So embrace the good times and the bad times. Own them. Experience them. Cry when you need to cry, laugh when you feel like laughing. And don’t give a care about what somebody might say about you. This is your dream, not theirs.

Today’s song is; Broken Hero from my band DNA from a few years ago.

“You have to let go of the past and move forward and capture that inner warrior, healing that hero in you. Heed this call to yourself just this one time.”

Ancestors

Posted on

Welcome to Monday, November 13th which is a 7 in Numerology.

The 7 is teaching us not to take anything at face value. Look behind the curtain and see what the Wizard is really up to. Pretend that the Wizard is you. What is going on in there? What is your subconscious really up to?

A lot of us are really caught up in this ‘world’. Why do you think?

Some of us think that we are just meat sacks and that when we die… that’s it. Dead. In the ground. Worm food. Some of us believe in God. Their God. Like Depeche Mode wrote; “Your own personal Jesus. Someone to hear your prayers. Someone who cares.” I try to look at the common denominator (Oh No! Not more math!). What do all of these things have in common?

They believe in something. And more so, they believe in something outside of themselves.

Our Ancestry plays a big part in what we believe in. There’s a story about a little girl who watches her Mother in the kitchen cooking a ham for Thanksgiving. Before cooking it, she cuts the ends off before putting it in the pan. This happens every year and had been happening since they could remember. It was just tradition. Long story short… After further investigation, the little girl found out that her great-grandmother cut off the ends so it would fit in the pan she had.

Don’t take everything at face value just because someone says it is so. Do your own investigating and you might be surprised at what you find.

Sometimes following traditions gets us in predicaments like we are in today. Wars fought over belief systems that are traditional, political affiliations because of tradition, hate crimes because of tradition. Use your own common sense and don’t blindly follow just because you are told to.

Be the Wizard, but also be aware of the man behind the curtain.

Today’s song is; Feel the Cycle from my band Kill Ritual.

“As your conscious evolves you can see that it’s all just a game. The good or the bad, the happy or sad, it’s the same.”

What is your name?

Posted on

Welcome to Sunday, November 12th which is a 33 in Numerology.

Number 33 is a Master Number. 11, is the gateway, you are starting to see through the illusion. 22 is the architect. You start to notice that life is similar to a computer simulation if you are programmed correctly life flows around you. You start realizing that the program (your mind) can alter your reality. And 33, like today, is synchronicity, transformation, no borders! Words and thoughts are powerful and they can alter your thoughts and your life around you.

What do you label yourself? Say your name… do you feel powerful when you say it? Think of some of your favorite movie stars or rock stars, a lot of them change their names to something more powerful, something that sounded better when said. I’m not saying you have to change your name… what I’m saying is that if you feel powerless, everything else around you will be powerless. Look at celebrities with the 33 in their vibration; Robert De Niro, Salma Hayek, Albert Einstein, Francis Ford Coppola, Thomas Edison, Stephen King, or John Lennon even.

33 Magic is about this; What you feel inside is what you will attract externally.

We don’t attract what we want. We attract who we are.

Recently a friend of mine had asked me how to attract the perfect woman for him. I told him that in order to do this he had to be in the same vibration as the one he wanted to attract. Think of it as a radio dial. You’re changing the frequency of the radio to find the radio station that makes you feel good. You keep turning that dial until you finally hear that perfect song. That is when you are on the right vibrational frequency. Same goes for relationships, jobs, etc. Not to beat it into your head, but…

You can not attract what you are not. You can not have what you ‘want’ because saying you ‘want’ something means that you don’t have it. You have to change the wording, change the feeling to ‘already having it’.

Now, today was pretty deep. I know. But after yesterday’s powerful 11/11 and today’s 33 energy this isn’t a time to fuck around. It’s a time to get into alignment.

If you want to try something fun, add up your name in numerology. Just add up the corresponding letter with a number. Use this formula. 1=A,J,S, 2=B,K,T 3=C,L,U 4=D,M,V 5=E,N,W 6=F,O,X 7=G,P,Y 8=H,Q,Z 9 =I,R. I’ll use my name as an example…

David Reed Watson (4+1+4+9+4= 22) (9+5+5+4=23) (5+1+2+1+6+5=20) 22 +23+20=65 6+5=11! I don’t break down the 11 to 1+1=2 because 11, 22 and 33 are Master Numbers.

Today’s song is; Hitchhike Turnpike from one of my very first bands, Fauxpas.

“The Road we travel on is the one we chose to see. It may turn this way, or that, by our decree.”

Peace!
David

P.S.
Our friend and bass player from Fauxpas, Eric Collins, passed away a number of years ago. He will be missed dearly. He is always in our hearts and so is his wife, Darlene.

11-11

Posted on

Welcome to Saturday, November 11th which is a 5 in Numerology.

Number 5 relates to making positive life choices and decisions and learning life lessons through experience. Combine this with the powerful 11/11 day and it’s almost guaranteed that whatever you focus on will indeed come true. Take some time to sit alone and focus on what you really want. Remove the clutter from your mind, sit still and manifest away!

Not only are we having a 5 day on 11/11, it is also a 1 year (2+0+1+7=10 1+0=1)! You honestly cannot get any better of a day to focus on what you want. Again, be vigilant. Hyperfocus on it. Don’t just envision it… feel it. They say that when manifesting if you physically feel it, it sets in motion that vibration. Make yourself a dream board today and set it up in your bedroom. Focus on the images before you go to sleep and imagine that you already have what you are looking for.

I usually spend 11/11 with close friends and in ceremony. And I intend to do just that. We are on the beaches of California right now, feeling the chilly morning air, the humidity, and just enjoying what spirit has to offer.

Today’s song is; From the Beginning by Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

“You see, it’s all clear. You were meant to be here from the beginning.”

 

Peace!

David
