happy new year
I hope everyone finds more peace and stability this coming year.
Be the peace you want to see in the world.
Make eye contact with someone you don’t know. Smile. Wave. It’ll be okay.
We are stronger when we allow ourselves to have grace with those who see the world differently without making devils of one another.
There are a few thoughts of mine this Sunday.
Here are some new tracks I recently uploaded. Enjoy!

Trying to journal more via my blog.
2016 is going to be a damn interesting year; I can feel it.
New Years Eve I spent with a handful of my favoritist people.
we sang, we danced, we drank.
Liz and I carved a pumpkin.
Bettet later than never, eh?
what else?
Yesterday it snowed in Portland.
Today it's all iced over.
I'm very grateful my place of working is only a block away from mi casa.
i saw my friends lee and Alicia play a show at Alberta Street Pub. The night before the snow happened.
my friend Paige was in town from Seattle. They're one of my favorite peoples.
more words later. I need to drink more coffee.
be free fellow earthlings.

extra! extra! read all about it.
drink up in october, like it's the "4th of July".
hi friends.
it's almost the year of 2016.
i haven't made proper usage of this blog in a moment.
that's okay though.
i've also been posting drawings less.
i think i'll be posting my sleepwalking comics on Tues, Thurs, Saturday.
instead of the previous routine of M-F.
why?
the meditation/routine of drawing has brought me much clarity.
drawing came out of writer's block.
i'm trying to refocus said energies into other disciplines.
Ex: read a book, write some words, maybe write some songs.
speaking of songs, i've been writing some words and melodies to a few tracks with my friend and roommate, Tim Craft.
when the timing is right i will share them.
regardless… it's been fun to write some songs again.
i read a lot of news.
probably at par with how often the most of you refresh Facebook feed or your snapchats.
there's a lot happening out there dudes.
there's also a lot of bullshit distractions.
know the difference.
i also hope to point more of that out this upcoming year.
it's got to be creative though.
aggressive, passionate, and creative.
is it possible?
i guess i'll find out.
i don't know what else to say at the moment.
the more we get together the happier we'll be.
be free, fellow earthlings.

December was by far the most challenging month of my life as an adult. A lot of almost opportunities and almost trues.
There's not a lot of talking to do on the subject because that's you move forward.
You break when you got to, be true, and get through.
All was not bad, a lot of it was good. It made up for the difficult. It made up for the confused.
I think shared knowledge is power and we should all be more in tune.
I spent the greater part of the month lost in moments, unsure how to convey to people who read these words.
The answer is not one answer. It's through pictures, it's through words, it's through song.
I don't know a lot of things, but I do know we all deserve to be free. Free from our minds. I know I am.
It don't make no sense sometimes, but what's that ever mattered? Not much does.
I just want to create and distribute magic to all of you. I hope you feel inspired to do so, too.
Cell phones make great tools but they are not a requirement to appreciate the sunset or the moss covered roofs.
Feel the suns warmth on your skin, take time to breathe, and most importantly BE FREE!
Because 2014; It's the beginning of the end of the corporate machine.
