❤️ HOW CAN THIS LITTLE GIRL NOT MAKE YOU SMILE? ❤️🤣

Here's a video from my niece's wedding featuring my granddaughter. Tell me she doesn't just make you smile! 😁

She's on the autism spectrum, and let me tell ya, she's got a personality all her own! 🤣 My daughters work hard with her, but somehow this little girl still manages to find herself in all kinds of mischief!

Something her grandpa can DEFINITELY relate to! 😂

So when we're at weddings, family gatherings, or out in public, I try to take her under my wing and keep her busy. Gives my daughters a little break, keeps her out of trouble, and gives me somebody to get into a little harmless trouble WITH! 🤣

Truth is, I don't know which one of us is entertaining the other half the time!

But one thing's for sure…

She makes her grandpa laugh, and that's worth more than anything money could buy! ❤️

Sometimes happiness ain't complicated. Sometimes it's just spending time with somebody who makes you smile.

YESTERDAY'S STRUGGLE WAS PAIN… TODAY'S STRUGGLE IS DECISION-MAKING! 🤣🤘

Decision-making has always been a struggle for me. I'm not sure which one of my multiple diagnoses is responsible for this one, but let me tell ya… it's REAL! 😂

Sit me down in a restaurant with a menu full of choices, somewhere I've never been before, and you might as well pack a lunch because we're gonna be there a while! 🤣 Unless it's somewhere I'm familiar with, I'm in trouble!

Now here's where that relates to my music…

When somebody creates a song and you hear it on the radio, you already know what it's supposed to sound like. So when you go to sing it, you do your best to mimic what you've heard.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S YOUR OWN SONG? 🤔🎶

There ain't no original version to follow!

I can take ONE song and come up with 20 different ways to sing it, 20 different styles, and probably convince myself none are any good another struggle for another day🤣

And THAT'S where my decision-making problem kicks in!

I've got TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE SAME SONG.

🎸 Version 1 is right here in this post.

🎤 Version 2 is down in the comments.

For some reason, Facebook won't let me put both videos side by side, so you'll have to check out both.

I WANT YOUR HONEST OPINION!

Which version do you like better? 1 or 2? And WHY?

Don't worry about hurting my feelings. I'm learning, experimenting, and trying to find my sound. Sometimes that means getting out of my own damn way! 🤣

Yesterday it was physical pain. Today it's my brain arguing with itself over 20 different choices!

Welcome to another day inside the head of Rollin Roy! 🤘🤣

Can't medicate, so I innovate!

ROCK ON! 🤘

🎤🎸 "ONE OF THOSE DAYS". another practice run!

Days like today are tough on me mentally, I ain't gonna lie.

Music has always been my escape. For years, it was somebody else's music that helped me get through the rough days. Now I'm trying to create something of my own that might give somebody else that same hope when they need it most.

And if I'm being real, it helps me too. It gives my mind somewhere to go besides focusing on the aches and pains I'm dealing with.

Some days I practice because I want to get better. Other days I practice because I NEED it.

I'm still learning, still growing, and I've got a long road ahead of me. But every practice session is another step forward.

Funny how something I turned to for an escape has become something I hope will help somebody else find their way out.

Can't medicate, so I innovate! 🤘🎶

Rock on!

3 AM AGAIN… 🤘🔥

What do you do when pain kicks you out of bed at 3 AM, and even the recliner ain't doing the trick?

Me? I practice. Or I study so I can practice better.

I can't control the pain, but I damn sure can control what I do with my time.

I could sit here feeling sorry for myself, staring at the clock, waiting for relief that might not come. Or I can take that time and put it toward something I'm passionate about.

I didn't ask for this pain, but I refuse to let it steal everything from me.

Every little bit of practice, every lesson learned, every improvement gets me one step closer to where I want to be.

Can't medicate, so I innovate!

Pain might dictate when I get out of bed, but it damn sure ain't gonna dictate what I do with my life!

Rock on! 🤘

🤘🔥 WELL, FINGERS CROSSED! PRAYERS APPRECIATED! 🙏

Well, I did something today I've never done before!

I officially submitted my very first grant application for Rollin Roy Records!

The mission? Simple. Spread a message of hope, addiction awareness, and recovery through music!

I've got two benefit concerts in the works, one in Lapeer and one in Flint, with the goal of supporting recovery clubs and reaching people who need to hear that there's a better way to live.

Now, let me tell you something. Filling out a grant application ain't for the faint of heart! 🤣 Holy crap, there's a lot that goes into one of those things! But I stuck with it and got it done.

Here's where I'm at. I've been funding this whole journey out of my own pocket. The traveling, the music, the equipment, the outreach—all of it. And while I'm grateful I've been able to do what I've done, my personal budget can only stretch so far.

I've got bigger dreams, more places to reach, and a whole lot more people I want to help. But taking this thing to the next level is going to require some help.

I'm not looking to get rich doing this. I'm looking to reach that one person who thinks there's no way out. Because I know what it's like to be that person.

So if you're the praying kind, I'd sure appreciate a few prayers that this grant comes through. 🙏

And if it doesn't? Well, I've been knocked down before. I'll just keep pushing, keep learning, and keep knocking on doors.

Recovery taught me something: You don't quit just because the road gets rough!

One thing at a time. One day at a time. One more right decision.

Can't medicate, so I innovate! 🤘🔥

ROCK ON!

One thing that hasn't changed over the years… DRIVING THROUGH CITIES STILL SUCKS! 🤣

I've had plenty of windshield therapy lately, and honestly, I don't mind the miles. I've always been a traveler. Something about the open road, music playing, and nothing but time to think just does something for me.

But give me a two-lane country road over a six-lane highway any day!

I've never been much for crowds, traffic, or the hustle and bustle of city life. I'd rather be out in the country, surrounded by trees, wildlife, and absolutely nobody! 🤣

The older I get, the more I realize I don't need a whole lot to be happy.

A little peace, a little quiet, and a whole lot of space between me and the rest of the world! 🤘

Then again, I spend half my life trying to reach people with my message of recovery, and the other half trying to find a place where there ain't any people! 🤔🤣

Figure that one out!
