And So On

What's been going on lately? 

in my life, not a whole lot. 

i Have an excess of drawings at the moment so I've focused the most of my energies on breaking this almost 2 year writer's block. 

when the skies dried up I started drawing. Now I'm forcing myself to write.

It's a lot of fragmented nonsense, but a good bit makes some sense. 

they say rain is headed our way this weekend. I hope it is true. 70 something degrees outside too.

Fall is coming fast. I can smell her in the wind.

I hope she sticks around a while. I need my grey daze.

i saw Portugal. the Man on Monday. Only $5 at white owl. Always grateful to see those dudes jam out.

There is a full moon / super moon this Saturday. Embrace the magic and hopefully you'll catch a glimpse. As for me I hope it just rains and rains and rains. 

there's too many fires in the Pacific Northwest. It hurts my soul and fucks with my conscious. 

Donald Trump is a fool and if you listen to the stats of these polls, so are you. 

Big media is getting stronger.

The earth is growing warmer.

It's time to come together.

Put away our black mirrors, if only for a moment.

Stuff and Things

Monday: I had the opportunity to see the band "Homeless Gospel Choir". 

It was acoustic punk rock. Homeboy has a lot of soul. It was very inspiring. Look him up.

Tuesday: I bought new pens and made some really awesome arts at Paymaster with my friends.

Wednesday: I went hiking at Forest Park. It felt good to get be under the trees. I need to walk out there more frequently. 

Thursday: I went to Edgefield to see Morrissey. Good show. He brought on some heavy his last couple songs.

Saturday: Today it rained. It was a good rain. Thank you magic.

Independence Day 2015

"Happy 4th of July!" 

every year it feels a bit more ironic  

watching colorful explosions in the sky  

for a holiday we don't even call by name anymore

it's been dumbed down to a month and a number

Janis was right when she said:

"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose..."  

Either way it was nice to walk across the Hawthorne bridge and put my feet in the river for a moment. 

i fear for the future of this once "great" empire.  

nationality is a thing of the past.  

it's time to put titles away and take care of what really matters; our planet. 

rambles. rambles. rant. rant.  

goodnight friends.

Life Lately

My heart is scattered

No metronome 

Compass focused 

But still searching for home 

I bought a PA system finally. That means I sing at an audible volume with the dudes I've been jamming with.

 I don't know what's to become of this endeavor but I feel really good about it. 

I've met a lot of interesting artists folk this past week. 

One dude, Ellery, gave me quite the list of music to check out. I forget the other dude's name in this moment but fairly sure it began with an A. 

I love Belmont.

Also a guy named Josh who reminded me of a cross between Edward Snowden and Morpheous. 

Basically a badass ink and paper artist who I hope will contribute to zzzwalking so you guys can see his genius ness. 

Besides that making coffee and bits of art. Oh and still plowing through Slaughterhouse by Vonnegut. That shit is intense!!

Trying to write but the words fall short lately. So it goes. 

Also a lot of interesting stuff is happening in the world:

Baltimore, Nepal, Iran, China, not to mention all the mayhem about to ensue from election season in the homeland.

Documentation

Living in NW Portland has been an ever unfolding adventure.

I would like to relate to you all the things I do, but sometimes photos say enough.  

This life I live is truly a blessing and I'm thankful for everyone who is a part of it.

Thank you friends. 

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

New Apartment

I'm moving from NE Portland to NW Portland in just a few days.

It's a much more spacious apartment and I'll finally have a shower again. 

Anything I could want to get to is within walking distance.  

Even Forest Park is just around the corner and work will be a 2 block walk.

Not to mention I'll be living with two of my best friends. 

Moving on up the hill!

Excited for the future!  

Thank you magic.
