You know, I think my arms are going to fizzle off my body from the amount of tasks I have put myself up to juggle lately.

A.) Article:
My artwork/skateboard designs are going to be featured in an upcoming magazine, So all of the photography for that was finally finished this weekend. It's weird to be on the other side of the lense. Kind of scary to see what any portraits turn out like. Oh gosh, real freaky. I can't wait to see how it turns out though. I'll update on that in the future.

B.) Gallery Opening / Music scheduled.
In October I'll have another photography gallery up and shall be performing a cluster of (probably buzzed) folk and acoustic songs, to a range of two to thirty-five people, depending on if you, the reader within traveling distance will choose to show up or not. Of course, when sure information is found out for date and time, it'll be sitting right here [link] I am pretty excited about this, and hope people will enjoy some of the images I have collected from over the years. I don't plan to stop anytime soon, so maybe I'll have the chance to say "Meehhh, those were ALRIGHT" in the future. I suppose I am the only one booked to perform that night but that might change, as I am trying to find others to perform with. Maybe some duos.. hell, if there's an audience they can sing the chorus.. Well, shit, Do any of my songs have a chorus?

*(Beliefs are always something that should be looked back upon with hesitation. There, that's my belief. Maybe I'll think that's a dumb idea two years from now.)

C.) Music Music Music.
Okay So as always I've been working on tunes but lately things have been rolling along more smoothly than usual. It's often hard to catch up with all the ideas and projects constantly dropping into my head or onto my foot. Youch. The only one nearing completion at the moment is Death The Infomercial [link] which is instrumental/soundtrack-type tunes. I've made available a free 12 minute CD sampler for all that. Should be interesting.

Okay, and with some folk/acoustic projects, I've started recorded music for an album called Reckless Reclusion. Mostly stripped down songs, and re-recording of older songs. I'm supposed to have a duo CD out as well, with some better songs like "Electric Lines" and "train tracks song" but have no clue whether to attempt to record more or release what is already finished. Yes I'll be playing more shows. It's always fun to have more listeners other than your cats attending. Though pets are always welcome.

D.) Short stories.
Yeah, but I can't seem to find a good ending. I'll end up illustrating and putting all of these stories together for a collection. Some of the characters/events from each story correlate to one another, So it is getting really interesting/complicated in writing them.

Detailed ramblings here [link]

Camping is exciting and fun. I'm off to have some of that fun and excitement, because as sick and fickle, or dill some moments may seem, random events should always over ride all of the bullshit.
I'm busy, but I enjoy it, and wish others to delve into creativity and thank those who take the time to dig through all of my madness.

" ...People would pass in no hurry with groceries in their hands or lovers in their arms under the stop lights and past the small restaurant building. I eyed pages of old unsent love letters and smeared portraits of bus passengers stared back at me as if I were still on the shaky ride. Maybe I was. Ernie seemed to be on a shaky ride, gazing into the crimson cat cartoon as Attentive had fallen asleep in the other room.


Hell, it was now my turn to finally get some rest and then, with a recharged interpretation, be the detective to find out just how the heck I’d gotten into this mess. I closed my notebook and walked into the room by the kitchen then plopped downward into the upward positioned futon and droned out.
-insert dream-

Waking up with a handful of rejuvenation was a great and rare experience. No alarm clocks would ever matter and you just lay there reciting the dialogues of dream...."

Just a small segment from a building story. Second chapter, after all the madness.

I drove off w/ more gas in my tank than I had paid, but they found me out, they found my name.. They knew where I was (But I didn't.) Miles and miles and miles away from the cracks and corners I knew every inch of, yet the danger and misplacement of self felt so damn good.
Beforehand, The car (barely) rolled into the hospital parking lot for the night, to rest in the backseat until morning would blind me and the gas stations would open. Always bring an extra container of gas, and remember to think about EXTRA SOCKS before heading outward and beyond. Nobody thinks about the extra socks, I swear. Well, you will when callouses and blood collections fill your shoes, while flicking slugs off anything with a color or shape.
..But the breath of fresh air and wandering feet of un-expectation make it all worth while. The vast bodies of water try and suck you in, and it's so hard to resist.
Okay, so shortly I shall have many series of photographs up. My computer drives are quite fattened up with them at the moment. Photos from the city, many scans of artwork to make you cringe, photos from the 'drive,', The "Big Parade" and lots of fun items way back from when I was around the ages 4 to 11. That's right, Dark-wing Duck Portraits and elementary school journal entries!

I completely updated the photo gallery [link] and artwork pages [link] on the main website and have added quite a bit of new music [link] as well, be sure to check it out. I promise it won't disappoint, or, if it does disappoint you, it will at least be in unusual and interesting ways that you will surely enjoy not enjoying! Speaking of, there'll be some new albums out soon, and yes, shows will be played. Solo, and non-solo.
That's all for now. Be sure to keep yourself in risky situations, and let me know what you think of everything!
Some writings up soon too! (Nobody reads anymore, people are just too busy watching words.)

New songs about blank guns and dying kings, the swine flu, the soundtrack music to time thieves, and how to cure baldness using only a jar of sour cream and two blue jay feathers.

When I get back I will be working my ass off on producing some artwork/arranging songs for several albums. Solo/Other Project material. I'll have no ass but it will be for the benefit of music!

I'll be gone for a little while, Like a fly that finally found a way out of the window screen.
