Arroe Collins View From The Writing Instrument

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why did it feel like it took a lifetime to graduate from high school but life as an adult is locked in on 500 mph?  Plus…is prayer just another way to wish upon a falling star?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we...

Millions of creative people perform on stages every day and night.  Nobody really talks about the morning after the party.  Plus...more proof that we're disconnecting as a generation.

-Missed Opportunity- I love sharing conversations.  Hosting requires show prep.  My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests.  What you don’t have access to are the missed opportunities. The show prep was completed.  The conversation didn’t happen.  I keep all my notes!

I hope to loca...

Do you believe in resurrections?  They happen every day.  But are you willing to listen, to participate, to explore and find newer ways to understand your personal journey? This podcast isn’t about what we study and see through the eyes of religion. My Boy Boy Ernie spoke with me every chance we had together.  But this isn’t about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly 34 years.  This resurrection is that of a writing instrument. Verbal documentation of what some may call a vision quest.  Trusting the great mysteries of life.  Tools are handed to us to carve out each expectatio...

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers.

A direct connection to the LA music scene.  MTV was ready for them but the network came with an idea to put focus on only one of the band's members.  They said, "No." It put them on the road with Cindi Lauper and produced three major staples in that quality driven 80's sound which was heavily influenced by the sounds of the 1960s.

Five questions. Can you answer them or will you set it aside for a moment that you feel will be better set for accepting any answer? I'm family has given me nothing in the way of knowing our true roots. I broke the chain! A daily writer since July 1994. We are nothing today without our yesterday.

We're all guilty of it.  Especially parents.  Putting our goals on hold for others.  Everybody thinks they're born a star which teaches them to not listen to those who've lived it.  Yet does anyone ever think about how the teacher put their goals on hold for them to grow?

I'm really into show prepping everything. Even my conversations at the grocery store. There's nothing worse than being fact checked and I'm wrong. Is it ok to adlib or should we concentrate on improv? Do we really and should we spend more time show prepping?

So often we associate three sheets to the wind to someone who is drink or overtaken by drug use. That's not where the phrase originates. It's from the 1800's taking almost 100 years to reach the common folk.
