Jobs, Smoggie Catt, X Files

I had another interview this morning. This time at "Fire on the Mountain" on 57th and Fremont. It would be more restaurant like than I am use to, but I'm keeping all options open at this moment.

It was a pleasant little stroll. A lot of residential area. I finally saw where Beaumont district of Portland is, too.

I'm about to continue the Craigslist search for "gigs" and other job happenings.

Yesterday I spent the most of my day with a wise and wild lady named Kyle. It's fun letting your day run away and seeing what kind of magic you will happen upon.

I ate at Canteen off of Starke yesterday. A vegan place with salads to die for. The best tempeh I have had since being here. So savory! So filling! Aaaah!

I've also recently started watching X Files for the first time! It makes so much more sense starting from the beginning. Moulder is really awesome. I like his quirky sense of humor.

Lastly, it makes me so happy to see Smoggie Catt sitting in the window enjoying the rain.

She sat up in the open window watching the rain as long as I can remember last night.

Then she would stroll about the roof and come in with dampened fur and cuddle for a moment, repeat.

I can tell she is genuinely happy to live in Oregon and that bring my heart much happiness. I knew she would love it here.

Well time to get back to job looking. Bye Bye interwebbers.

Download my Book For Freeeeeeee!!!!

I have been told by my publisher that an ebook version of my book will be available as a free download this Friday, January 17th!! That's pretty cool, eh?

The truth is I don't fully get into the ebook thing. I don't fully get the ebook thing. I like that it makes people learn and such, but it's just not how I go about my reading with the exception of news and social netowrking. 

Anyway... I want you people to download it!

It's free! 

The unfortunable side is that it will not include my illustrations and my personal font, but when I finished that collection of words it was the feeling of one moment ending and the simultaneous beginning of another. 

It's not how it looked.

It's the combined energy of how those lines stacked together and my soul was shook.

How every poem made me feel: uniquely and as a collective whole. 

So maybe it's the best way to read the book. An honest look at my humility and awkward optimism and personal hells. 

It don't make sense unless you read it, but what I'm trying to say is you should DOWNLOAD MY BOOK FOR FREE! 

I was also asked by my publisher to tell you nice people that you should leave reviews. I think asking for flattery directly is kind of silly and not truly me, but if it gets more people to notice my book and future work which I believe is even more thought provoking insanity!

Then boom! Yeah! Leave reviews! Be honest! Tell them you like potatoes just like me.

I just want to give people a little hope amongst tragedy. To show people there's magic if you just believe. 

DOWNLOAD MY BOOK FOR FREE ON FRIDAY!!!!!

I'LL REMIND YOU AGAIN!

I KNOW I'D FORGET THIS EARLY IN THE WEEK, TOO. 

Meow!

Thinking Thoughts

I haven't been blogging as much as of late. I've been trying to figure my head out. 

Well that takes a lifetime and I've felt as though I've lived five in only a few months time.  So basically I stepped away from the internet enough to keep moving my  head forward.

I've got a lot of ambition. I've got a lot of dreams. You can't expect it all to happen overnight. I know this. You just got to let magic be.

I can't wait to have this book of mine in a printed format so that anyone interested can read it. 

I've been watching a lot of "Through The Wormhole with Morgan Freeman". It's fascinating. Scientific questioning provokes my artistic soul even more.

Aside from all that I'm trying to establish this clothing line... A collective if you will. That's a thing that will be more successfully completed in 2014 and it's quite the undertaking. It's exciting though.

I've been drawing a lot and scribbling out little fragments for what the next book will be on. I am fairly set on finding a new job. I still want to make coffee, but locally not for the machine. 

The machine pays me well, but I think that moment is over. I need to connect with people on a more intimate level and do my part to ensure I am protecting Mother Earth to appease my conscience. That's a heavy burden to carry.

Well that's all I know to say now. I need to drink more coffee, read some books, do some wandering, and such.

I also need to find this bike seat that I misplaced somewhere in my house so I can get around town quicker. I had it. Where would I have sat it down? I do this way  too often.

Well.. bye interwebs. Happy Adventuring!

Morning Head Thoughts

photo 2.JPG
  • I'm really enjoying my new apartment. It's not even completely set up and I already feel the creative energy buzzing.  
  • Not having an ID will make you feel powerless. I can't even buy my own alcohol.  
  • I'm so ready to play music again. I have some wild ideas. 
  • I don't think I'm going to be able to go without internet at my house. 
  • Smoggie seems to really like sitting at the table with me; this makes me really happy inside seeing her sit in her own chair. 

I'm Not Even Exaggerating

in

In case you don't know Smoggie is normally very chill and not intrusive in the least first thing in the morning. She lies there beside me for hours, but not lately. She won't even ask for food until I'm up.

Every since moving into this new apartment Smoggie Catt will pester me to get up all morning, but it's not for food or water. Sometimes food, but mostly she has food already.​

 I just discovered why. She just wants me to hang out with her. For real, I'm finally up and she is just sitting here talking with me. ​I love my fuzzy weirdo.

A.B. TV-Episode 1

in ,

This is the first of a video blog series I have been planning for months with my friend Cody. The topics and adventures will vary week to week.

In short I want a way to share my mind with people and learn more about the world and maybe I'll say something that will spark a thought in someone else's brain. 

The idea is to not only be thought provoking and share my head thoughts but to also be visual stimulating because I know my attention span is terrible so I don't think it's fair to expect to have to just sit and watch me talk.

Therefore we wanted to make something that was almost like watching a documentary or a movie. So with the help of Cody Pulliam we came up with what I think is a very entertaining way of representing what is me and also entertaining to you as a viewer.

I hope you like what you watch. If so please subscribe to the channel, share it with a friend, and watch it again.
