And So On

What's been going on lately? 

in my life, not a whole lot. 

i Have an excess of drawings at the moment so I've focused the most of my energies on breaking this almost 2 year writer's block. 

when the skies dried up I started drawing. Now I'm forcing myself to write.

It's a lot of fragmented nonsense, but a good bit makes some sense. 

they say rain is headed our way this weekend. I hope it is true. 70 something degrees outside too.

Fall is coming fast. I can smell her in the wind.

I hope she sticks around a while. I need my grey daze.

i saw Portugal. the Man on Monday. Only $5 at white owl. Always grateful to see those dudes jam out.

There is a full moon / super moon this Saturday. Embrace the magic and hopefully you'll catch a glimpse. As for me I hope it just rains and rains and rains. 

there's too many fires in the Pacific Northwest. It hurts my soul and fucks with my conscious. 

Donald Trump is a fool and if you listen to the stats of these polls, so are you. 

Big media is getting stronger.

The earth is growing warmer.

It's time to come together.

Put away our black mirrors, if only for a moment.

No Phone

No phone service at the moment.

Use the interwebs (email, Facebook, Twitter) to contact me.

When I have wifi I will reply accordingly.  

12 Cents

12 cents of common sense

won't get you very far

but it's enough to get you thinking

drawing pictures  

writing words

dancing and singing songs

i'm not much for numbers  

mostly they stress me out

one more cup of coffee

8 hour working shifts

they're living for the 3 day weekend

then back at it

no concern for the effects

just living in the minute  

a lot of change is happening  

and convenience is out of control   

mad as a hatter  

wishing for greyer days

waiting for the autumn rain  

still hoping for the best  

watching the world burn

Lost Backpack

I seem to have misplaced my backpack.

If you live in northwest Portland happen upon a grey backpack full of fragmented scribbles and Suess like doodles let an amigo know.

Thank you.

Rambles / Cimate Change

No one wants to talk about it and those who do often get ridiculed.

I'm no scientist but I am an earthling. 

Winter was a 3 week fling in my part of the world. Summer came in full force. She was quick and  hot.

Summer is still here, but I smell Fall. The acorns are falling. The leaves are yellowing. 

August is coming. Autumn is coming in August.

What's that mean for October?

That's my favorite month.

There are no longer 4 seasons per year. There are 6 at least. 

They say Winter will be crazy for the Pacific Northwest this year.

She thinks it's spring.

Take what you can get, yes. 

I'm just noting the climates have already shifted.

It's time to start as a society/planet acknowledging it on a massive scale or we can wait for a great "natural disaster" to wake us up. Either way...

Mother earth will be fine, but we have to start living accordingly. Soon. 

It's a head full to think about, but it needs to be talked about. 

Anyway.. I'm rambling and barely finished my morning coffee. 

Enjoy some pretty pictures.

It rained yesterday. It was good rain. Sometimes you just need the water to wash away the gunk.

Stuff and Things

Monday: I had the opportunity to see the band "Homeless Gospel Choir". 

It was acoustic punk rock. Homeboy has a lot of soul. It was very inspiring. Look him up.

Tuesday: I bought new pens and made some really awesome arts at Paymaster with my friends.

Wednesday: I went hiking at Forest Park. It felt good to get be under the trees. I need to walk out there more frequently. 

Thursday: I went to Edgefield to see Morrissey. Good show. He brought on some heavy his last couple songs.

Saturday: Today it rained. It was a good rain. Thank you magic.

Independence Day 2015

"Happy 4th of July!" 

every year it feels a bit more ironic  

watching colorful explosions in the sky  

for a holiday we don't even call by name anymore

it's been dumbed down to a month and a number

Janis was right when she said:

"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose..."  

Either way it was nice to walk across the Hawthorne bridge and put my feet in the river for a moment. 

i fear for the future of this once "great" empire.  

nationality is a thing of the past.  

it's time to put titles away and take care of what really matters; our planet. 

rambles. rambles. rant. rant.  

goodnight friends.

June 25, 2015 // White Salmon River

in

I went to white water rafting down the White Salmon River on Thursday. 

That's somewhere in South East Washington. Around Hood River but on the Washington side. 

Anyway there were many awe inspiring eye shots of Mt Hood. 

It was a clear day. Probably in the 90's.

White water rafting was lots of fun. Less scary than I expected. 

You get wet suits and all that essential stuff. 

We jumped a 6 foot waterfall. That's actually it in the picture to the right. 

I didn't fall off once. 

The water was 40 degrees. It was so blue and clear. A very well taken care of river. They say the water is run off from Mt Adams. 

That's glacier water. I love the Pacific Northwest. 

Viva Cascadia! 

Anyway i'm going to quit interwebbing and read this book or draw or something. 

be free fellow earthlings!
