Spring

The first day of Spring isn't for another 2 weeks but the trees and flowers are already starting to bloom in Portland, Oregon.

Midi Keyboard!

I recently found this midi keyboard for only $40 at Goodwill.

Time to delve into the ambient and see what kind of magic I can conjure up! 

Taxes

Finally filed my taxes and can pay off this credit cards. Not that they are too out of hand but it'll feel nice to get that debt off my chest.

Otherly: Who is this Federal Reserve that isn't run by the government but loans the government money and we just trust to make such important decisions? 

I know it's not fun to think about but it keeps my head wandering and pandering.

I mean isn't that what our taxes do? I don't want to slave my life away for some invisible ghost do you?

I know it's bigger than me. It's bigger than you.

Money is kind of stupid but it's how we do all we do until we come up with a greater way.

I'm just saying we should be more concerned or in tune with what's happening. Well I think so, but I don't know where to even begin that battle. 

I wonder what the world will be like in 5 or maybe 10 years.

I don't think it can keep using money that has no value. It's all mental. Who knows? Maybe it can.

I think it's time for a new way of thinking. I think people in some pockets of the globe are already thinking like this. I just want to be a part of a greater goodness. Enough rambling on such arbitrary things for now.

The End.

Earth

Aren't the views of Earth's atmosphere glowing around the planet from space the coolest though?

Pen Pals

I know I've been a shitty pen pal but I have brand new book stamps. 

I have the weekend off.

I promise to be more consistent.

Expect letters friends.

Also if you're interested in being pen pals and we are not already message me and I'll give you my address.

Paint and Lamps

Cleaning and rearranging my apartment again. I need more lamps. This is certain.

In about a month or so there is going to be a lot of painting happening in this place. I don't much like these pink walls. 

Also l want murals on some of the walls.

Let me know if you want to get artsy or just want to help cover these pink walls grey.

I'll provide the drinks and treats. 

Seattle Adventure in Pictures!

Seattle was lots of fun. It's a huge city and I only covered a little bit of it. It's quite the spectacle to the eye. Lots of busy people. Lots of art.

Much larger than Portland with similar charm. Right on the edge of the ocean.

I met some new people and got to further connect with an old friend whom I am very grateful for.

Here's my abbreviated recap of the adventure in pictures.  

Across the way is Downtown Seattle.

I met a giant troll...

...who later tried to eat me. Luckily Sabrina was there to save me.

There was art decorating everywhere. You just have to keep your eyes open. 

And a wall covered in gum...

Everything/Nothing

The last 5 months seem to have lasted 5 years. The last month feels like a lifetime of it's own and I question moment by moment what reality really is.

Bills get paid for the most part. Sometimes late, but they do get paid. "If only had more hours" I think. Then the thoughts of running away. But to where? And what will it do?

I feel enlightened. I feel enraged. All of it means nothing but to me there's a whole lot of something that I want to convey in a meaningful way.

What's it matter? It's a moment of importance or maybe just a job well done.

Constantly searching. Momentarily in love with existence herself.

If we could just let go.

Do something important like go for walks and stop and look.

Listen to rain drops.

Smell the cool night air.

We're all a bunch of nothings going nowhere fast.

Take time to breathe a little.

When is the last time you tasted the air or appreciated the scent of your lover's hair?

Rainy Daze (Days)

Absurdities

Some days I feel like I can change the god damn world; other weeks I just watch the world turn.

These Days

Life, Love, and Rock n' Roll

Seattle

I'm going to Seattle with Sabrina this weekend!

It'll be my first proper exploration of this great city!

If you've been and have suggestions on sites to visit and coffee shops to drink at then this is time to mention it.

Thanks!

Smoggie Catt Appreciation Post

This little fluff puff makes me smile. The End.

Little Debbie

Yesterday I watched a crow take a Little Debbie snack out of the trash and drop it. I opened it and left it for him, through the plastic away, and left him to snack away.The End.

Snow Days (Part 2)

The snow is melting away now. Yesterday was very icy. Each step sounded like thunder as I stepped through the layer of ice to the mushy snow below.  Icicles were falling off trees on the walk home from work. Now it's mostly mush outside.

There's been on and off mistiness in the air and the skies are grey! The rainy grey days have finally arrived I think.

Also other head thinking. It was fun sticking my head out the window and feeling the cool air blow through my hair and listening to snow melt off the trees and rooftops. 

Also tonight I get to see mewithoutYou and I couldn't ask for more ideal weather! This will be my first time seeing them since moving out west and also the first time since the release of Ten Stories!

Beyond excited! Every moment I see them is much needed and well remembered. I'm sure in a few days when I've had time to mellow I can expand on this excitement.

Right now I'm in super mellow head spot.

I've waited about 5 years to see them live again!!!! Aaaaah!! 

Snow Days (Part 1)

I haven't been blogging as much. I've been lost in my head and this winter wonderland.

I can't believe the amount of snow that's fallen. It's absolutely magical.

I haven't seen a fresh snow in 20 years at least. It feels so good. 

Feels even better to share this Winter Wonderland feel with someone that i find very enchanting.

I wish I could expand on all these thoughts that go through my head but right now I'm just not able. 

I've been writing fragmented words and drawing a lot. Hopefully all of this goes into this new book that has been pondering up in my head since last May and it'll make more sense.

There's a lot of fascinating creatures in the world if only you'll look. I found my forest and I hope we all can. It takes a little time sometimes but eventually sometimes, somethings just work out. 

Well anyway...

Coming soon.... pictures of snow monsters! 

Coca Cola

Sorry Coca Cola but you're about 20 years late. Beautiful sentiment but I don't care for what America has become or your corporate machine.

Wait... I think they are one in the same, but anyway... Viva la Cascadia! 

Snow Flurries!

Winter ain't over just yet dudes and dudettes! It may not stick today but I hear tale of more snow Saturday. Here's to hoping and dreaming on magic.
