I did everything right to fall asleep last night. It still turned into a full theater production. I closed the doors, gave my five pillows their assignments, made sure the room was sealed pitch black, and finally closed my eyes. Then a drip on the neighbor's air conditioner starts keeping time like a metronome, and I'm wide awake. That's when the negotiating with myself starts, and I never win, of course.

I'm recording this one live, mid-spiral, because I need to know if the dream looping actually ended, and I can finally rest my overthinking mind.

MMM is about the simple things in my life that somehow become much more complicated than they have any business being. Who can't relate to that? I step up to the mic, armed with curiosity, a little humor, and usually a cup of strong coffee. I'm determined to understand why. Because somewhere in the "why", that's where we discover the good stuff.

Who Listens to MMM

Apparently…

People who go out for a walk and come back with more thoughts than they left with

People who notice abnormally normal, slightly absurd moments that the rest of the world misses

People who forget how to speak until they’ve had their first cup of coffee

People who are fellow late-night overthinkers, watching their 3 AM thoughts pull up a chair and say, "let's play"

People who are tired of self-improvement lectures and just want comfort listening and a minute to breathe

People who catch their reflection for a second and think, oh… there I am

People who wake up at strange hours and suddenly need insomnia audio companionship for their questions about existence

Also, possibly…

People who wish they could walk around in life wearing a cloak of invisibility

People who get distracted by squirrels or social media

People who fake a headache to get out of obligatory moments

And of course…

Anyone who doesn’t see themselves anywhere on this list but somehow ended up at the MMM studio anyway
