Jeremy Junkin

So, here I am in Portland, OR.  Just sitting around and blogging for all of you out there.  I am feeling happy because I had an early end to my work day.  I’m  doing some house cleaning out here in the NW.  Not my favorite thing so far, but grateful that I am working.  My employers seem like really nice people, but there is something odd about going into another persons home to clean it… especially since many of these homes are pretty clean!  Whatever…

I’m also living in community out here.  It has been really great and a huge help in making the adjustment.  It is always sad to leave people that you love behind.  I definitely miss Chicago, especially this time of year, right before the cold weather starts kicking your ass.  But I am so grateful to be living with three other people who are loving and caring and I hope I am loving and caring back toward them.  There is something quite vulnerable about opening your self up to letting others meet needs in your life.  It is easy for me to try and do that for people… much more difficult to recieve it.

So, those are some of the things I am thinking about these days.  Letting myself be loved and cared for… and cleaning houses.  Please keep checking back and I will continue to post new music and gigs.  Feel free to leave messages here or at the my space or my facebook fan page.  TTFN.

Hey everyone,

Head on over to myspace.com/jeremyjunkin and check out my new track.  Leave some comments here or there or on my facebook about how you are feeling about the song.  I am going to try to get a new one up every few weeks.  More updates soon.

Hey ya’ll.  It’s time for some update action of my time here in the Portland.  I’ve been busy working last week and this which is awesome.  It’s good to have some income finally coming in.    I also went to my first open mic night at the Hawthorne.   It was pretty chill and I got to see a dude named Jom Rapstar lay down some sweet beats.   Please google him… you will not be disappointed.  Playing out again really started to make me feel like I was putting down some roots here in Portland and not just passing through.   And it was just what I needed to get my musical motivation on.

Speaking of which, I am recording some new stuff for all of your musical enjoyment.  It’ll just be some home recordings, but I’m going to pop them up on MySpace in the next couple of weeks.  I’ll give you all a heads up when the are on the site.  And tell all your West Coast friends to check out the site and friend me on either F-book or MySpace.  I’ll need all the new fans I can get : )  Farewell for now and I’ll catch you all later.
