trees
good, okay, and alright
three sides of an ever-rotating obtuse triangle
“This is not your apocalypse! we all did this so don’t get it twisted”
that’s what he yelled
like one of those fuckers obsessed with poker
we all know one of them
or some of them
i am not the monster i occasionally foster
her name is Martha

i think a lot
articulation is another part of gravity that is best left to the trees

I am grateful to hear, smell, feel the rain falling down in Portland, Oregon today. It’s the first day of the week without coffeehouse responsibilities for me so I’m taking my time and getting into a groove.
Walked around the block in the rain for my first coffee of the morning. There is a giant tree a block from where we live. The only dry spot is under this enormous tree. I saw the owner of the property where the tree grows and she said they have a photo of the tree when the house was first built in 1906 and the tree was only about 5 foot at that time. I’ll have to photograph the tree sometime for the perspective to make sense.
I have a stack of books i’ve been working at getting through so here’s to the next three days of constant rain.
Ashley and I finished this new series on Netflix called “Sweet Tooth” and it was absolutely lovely and I highly recommend it to everyone.
That’s all the words I have at the moment. Until this coffee gets into the bloodstream.

looking for a new job. i'd really like to find something more hands on and artsy and not food.
priority is to just to find a job asap and save up and make the greater dreams happen in this moment.
we'll see what happens.
my 30th birthday is tomorrow. no longer a "20 something", still a "millennial".
trying to sell more art. i've went through and archived it all into an album and folders.
found a comfy little hangout to people watch and share art a few blocks from my homebox.
had a few transactions, but lots of human connections which is the greater experiment at play.
the leaves are absolutely gorgeous lately.
happy october everyone.

today I walked around the most beautiful neighborhood in NW Portland. This one block particularly had really tall Japanese Maples and well designed Victorian houses.
It was enough to make my mind wander and remember how to feel small.
There are many great trees in this region. I find more and more respect for these beings with every passing day.
They've seen so much come and go and they continue to grow.
Metaphors. Cliches. Smoke Break.

Is Waka Flocka actually running for president? what the what is that about?
As if politics aren't a joke already.
So it goes.
Grow up humanity.
Anyway...
trees are magical.
I'm officially distracted.
wander more . stress less.
be free fellow earthlings!

The first day of Spring isn't for another 2 weeks but the trees and flowers are already starting to bloom in Portland, Oregon.
These 4 trees are my favorite trees in all of Portland. I watch them change season to season.
They line the sidewalk by the parking lot beside my place of work. I often sit outside for at least a portion of my breaks and admire them or just from the cash register on those extra rainy days.
From green to red, until all the leaves fall off, and they start over again. First really thin and green then full blown greenery again. It's really quite fascinating.
And right now they are the most beautiful fall colors. It's so hard to capture how amazing they really are, but I think this is my best attempt.
It's my Friday. You can find me hiding under the trees. I'll be reading books, drinking coffee, and drawing pictures. That is all.
Some of them are from the park today; most are from wandering around on Friday. Friday... which I thought was Thursday until about 8pm that evening.
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WENT TO THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE WITH JACKIE AND CAMERON!!!! We went up to Vista House. The view from up there was spectacular. Just amazing!
Then we continued driving the Columbia River Highway and ran into Latourell Falls. We frolicked around in the waters of this mighty giant for a while.
I love Oregon so much. Nothing compares to tracking through mud and rocks to stand/sit in the presence of something so majestic.
Nature is so amazing. And powerful, too. I really wanted to get closer to it but the wind and mist kept pushing me back. It feels so good to feel so small sometimes. I bet it was amazing to come across these places before concrete paved the way.
After a few minor stops along the way we made our way to The Bridge Of The Gods that crosses over into Washington. I've wanted to cross that bridge since I started researching Oregon a few years ago.
After that we sat on the riverbank and had sandwiches and BERRIES I picked. It was a quick but very magical trip indeed. But alas the day has been long and tomorrow starts in about 4 hours so I must zone out to some Radiohead now.
The trees of Laurelhurst Park in Portland, Oregon are some of the most majestic I've met to date.
I went out to Multnomah Falls with my new friend and bandmate Daniel. It was nice to get out town, get some fresh air, and do some hiking. It was good for my body and brain box.
I really feel at peace walking under the big trees and the mist from the waterfalls blowing through my hair.
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.

Where there is a gigantic, beautiful waterfall waiting for me and who knows what misadventures between here and there.
Having lots of fun with Adam, but miss the trees of Oregon. Be back soon. Also words about this A.B. TV thing I've been working on tonight.
