non obligatory made it back to that familiar coffee shop god only knows how poem


   THIS DOG
THE MAN OCCUPYING THESE EYES
HAVE TO STARE AT EACH OTHER
B/C ONLY THEY COULD UNDERSTAND
THE JOURNEY THAT BROUGHT
THEM HERE
WITH AWE
& BEWILDERMENT
OUR BACKS WERE TO THE ROPES OF THE DESERT
STEERING WHEEL COMING OFF OUR TIME MACHINE.
BACK
TO THIS COFFEE SHOP
WHERE HE WAS LOST
BEFORE EVER LEAVING.
EVERYONE LOOKS
CLOSER TO DEATH
EXCEPT THE UNRECOGNIZEABLE
PEOPLE
ONLY GLANCE AT THE MIRROR
TO KEEP THE JIG GOING
WHERE IS TIM KELLY?
AND WILL THE BUFFALO BILLS WIN TODAY?
THE GIRL ON THE LAMB
WHO ROMANTICISZED CROSSING
THE COUNTRY BY BUS
FELL IN LOVE ON THE WAY TO SEE HER BOYFRIEND
WHAT WILL HER BOOK BE ABOUT?
HOPE IT CAPTURES THE STENCH & NEVERENDING TIME WARP OF THE GREYHOUND BUS.
WILL THIS HEART
FIND PEACE BEYOND THIS MIND?
AND WHAT DID THAT COYWOLF WITH 3 GOOD LEGS
THAT MYSTERIOUSLY PASSED US IN PORTLAND MEAN,
IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF NOTHINGNESS?

ADULT BOY, the album



This is the album i recently released under the musical entity band name thing ive been operating under called "accept yourself" (sorry to all my former bandmates in the project we all knew i was a self centered egotist that is best working alone)(that makes me laugh,smile,sad, and want to cry at the same time). I released it on my birthday (8/13) while in wyoming- i went to see the meteor shower that always happens on my birthday, but there ended up being a full moon so it wasnt that crazy but putting a mattress on top of the van and cuddling savannah under a frosted blanket at the base of my favorite place (the grand teton mountains) was epic though. so this album had actually been on ice for a minute i recorded it the fall/summer before this most recent one. i was falling apart and this album kept me together.people like to talk shit to me do you ever make non sad songs.fuck you.or just il put up my walls. i love this album, in all its shitiness.i consciously tried to deal with feeling of rejection,pain,not being good enough in a conscious way. the acoustic side [A] I wrote all the songs while savannah and me were mobbing around the country on trains and hopping in and out of strangers cars. side [B] I came up with when literally I was so close to the edge, was stayin at uncle tims empty house and he had a keyboard and a childrens drumset there,and I was just like what the fuck would I do if I wasn't this fucked up- pretend not to be- so  I started making beats and workin on the other side of the album...

NEVA EVA [quit]

this here the video for the song NEVA EVA.(many pleaded their case for me to name it adult boy, but i havent survived this long, at below poverty level ,in the music game by not listening to my own instincts)
these scenes were long dreamed up then serendipitously brought to life after the original filmographer ghosted me and it opened my eyes to the talent right in front of me with my homegirl Laura and my boy Nick to do the shoot. it was so demanding. they were so fucking dedicated.she was so appreciative of my wads of one dollar bills to keep her going.i'l never forget when we were ripping up stolen paper in a warehouse for the hamster cage scene and we'd been tearing paper for like 2 hours and we were like what the fuck are we doing with our lives.well this is it...

LOCKED OUT

never once was this site abandoned.
as the world changes and I still don't have a smartphone google corporation can not imagine my existence so they locked me out for trying to sign in on library computers throughout the lower 48.
this makes everything I do on here a lil bittersweet but I like it so im gunna keep putting things here when the time space continuum allows.
with love,
