all in a shell's time

there was a shell. it was deep in belly of a giant blue whale.

well, it remained there for a long time.

when it found it’s way out of the belly of the great blue whale, he had so many stories to tell.

the bile, the fish that told him of a brighter tomorrow.

of course we will make it out of the belly of the great blue whale. of course we will.

so this gingerbread man comes along while we were at the flea market.

he said follow me and I will show you the best place to buy a leather wallet.

i told him i was interesting in a leather wallet and he got really frustrated.

so it goes.

then on monday there was a huge tower! it came out of nowhere.

no one lives in it. no, it’s a bank. it’s full of numbers and offices.

so it goes.

they told me be patient.

I have. I am.

they told me never be certain, go with it, and do the thing.

I have. I am.

they told me rock n roll never dies.

I know. I am.

we've got to live together

Hiiiii…..

This is a sincere talking “it” out moment.

I don’t care how you voted in the last presidential election. That done happened. That done did.

I am asking what “we the people” want out of this next election.

Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Conservatives, Young, Old, Men, Women, Libertarians, etc etc etc

What do we want?

I cannot believe “we” want Trump another 4 years.

We cannot excuse the trash that has come from his mouth. We must be better.

We cannot let anyone be as foolish as he has been to represent “we the people”.

There are 50 states… that’s 50 different states of mind.

Can we bring all that together like the original 13 did to take on the British during the Revolutionary War?

Or is it time to talk of breaking it up? Agree to disagree. Trade peaches and marijuana?

This is essentially what the EU is attempting to do. It’s not a horrible idea.

I have been blessed to travel a good bit of this republic and for which it stands. There is a lot of the midwest I need to see yet.

Immigration…

As the climates change and “we” reap the crops sewn by Uncle Sam brought us by “secret” operations in South America more people will run to here. Do you? Yes you? If you’re reading this far… DO YOU….. acknowledge or realize the extent our government has destabilized regions of the world and then polices and/or takes the resources as an after effect.

Because I do and I will continue sharing it. Haha yeah! We can do that later.

So what do YOU… yes you… what do you want.. for us.. for we… the people! Please comment. Please talk it out with me. This is why I have a .com… to share and connect. Let’s talk it out. Leave comments. I will reply.

We will not always agree and that is alright. WE can compromise and if WE cannot we can break it up.

long live liberty.

today.

woke up around noon, went for a walk, found an americano, drank about half, started filing taxes, realized I need a proper ID before that can be completed, ate a couple slices of last nite’s pizza, laid back down, had some crazy ass dreams, got up between 4:44 and 4:59pm, wandered to the library, updated info for .com…

and then…. I need to do some laundry. if not all of it, at least some bare necessities. some socks, underwear, clean pants…

Spring has sprang some beautiful colors. lots of rain. I am grateful for that.

some sing, some strum, we can all dance.

zero

I’ve been making lots of coffee.

It’s a monday through friday kinda job at the moment.

working on lots of art, too. I’ve been working on a big commission piece for someone in Florida.

Pictures coming soon.

singing songs. more and more. that’s the truest joy I find in this life.

i like where i am even if at times it feels kinda lonely at times.

I have Smoggie Catt and magic.

Thank you.

All of you.

You know who you are.

Eye.

See it all.

Thank you for being here.

We couldn’t do it without

Smoggie's first crush

My next door neighbor just told me Smoggie Catt has a crush on her cat and saw pictures.

It's adorable. Their cat lives indoors so the pigs of them looking through the window at each other is storybook magic. 

Play date is a must. Smoggie needs a haircut.  

I can't giggling. Little girl has her first crush. Hehehe. Okay.

Live in the Moment

“My home
Is a girl with eyes like wishing wells
I'm not alone
But I'm still lone, lonely
When I was young
Always go below the midnight sun
Those days are done
But I'm still glowing “

and things.

So I have not picked it up yet, but a nice earthling named Warren dropped my phone that was missing at the coffeehouse I work at.

Sometimes. Some things. work out.

on the library computer once more typing out blog words. rambles.

not having a phone has made that a routine. I think it should continue.

last nite.

Brandon and Diane and Wendy. The Ranger Station. Fire side chats.

Jessie. Hannah. Angelo’s.

backtrack. rewind. feel it in the bottom of your back.

Listening to Portugal. The Man. song: Mr Lonely (ft. Fat Lip)

I like it. Sad. It’s got feels though.

Otherness: I need Focus. Every so often I think I have it. I know I got it.

Tidal Wave. Portugal the Man.

As radio friendly as this album ended up being, It’s grown on me a lot. Thanks PTM.

Excited to see what happens next. I haven’t seen them live since they “broke out” “got big” “blew up”

whatever that wordage is. It’s about time.

I need more coffee in my head.

Meeting my friend Diane at 2pm. Focus.

I am very grateful my phone showed up and I didn’t end up buying a new one.

What an extension of the 21st century adult experience these “smart phones” have become.

It’s nice to step away from them. Finding that balance is key to surviving Singularity.

I am an earthling.

I am blessed.

I am a mess.

I’m not home yet.

I’m wandering.

I long to feel Hohm.

one way or another, we’re going to find it. we’re gonna get it. get it. got it. good.

cadence, rhythm, and voice

give me a song to sing and i’ll be fine and you’ll be fine, too. give me a song and we’ll sing the whole god damn night through…

I am still actively looking for people to make music happen with.

My instrument is my voice and my body. My instrument is the microphone.

I have my melodies I sing when I’m walking down the sidewalk. I have my melodies in my head.

The best songs I’ve ever written come from sharing space with musicians and listening until the muse whispers in my ears.

If you’re interested. Let me know. email me, face to face me.

I believe rock n roll is a state of mind not a drum beat. I believe rock n roll will change the world, hopefully for the better. It definitely can’t get any worse.

I want to play with people that understand it’s greater than us.

That understand with great power comes great responsibility.

Let’s fuck shit up.

“You ever felt like Noah on an overcast day? David take down your harp and sing?” -Aaron Weiss

It’s been raining and raining. I am grateful for that.

The phone I lost a week ago may be within reach. Here’s to trusting .

Janis Joplin. David Bowie. Mewithoutyou.

Can you dance even when the ways are weary? Do you sing when no one is around?

why the long winding road to nowhere?

Let the guitars moan on. Let us dream of snow. Let us let the rhymes flow into a metronome of soup.

savory. warm. cozy. it’s all in the broth.

instinct vs reflex. can you decipher the difference?

well whale

Well..

what’s new? I lost a cell phone. again. I was on a good streak for a little while.

If you are reading this and have a spare I would prefer to buy one off a friend over spending a lotta dollars on a new one. email me at abcorduroy@gmail.com

other happenings: I went to a show at The Ranger Station last nite. 3 great bands played.

  1. Complimentary Colors

  2. Milk Bandits

  3. Flying Caravan

I’ll go back and hyperlink to them or make another blog post doing so at a later time. I’m using a library computer before heading home.

A kinda snowy weekend. As in snow fell and mostly melted away before the next day ended.

Maybe some this week. It’s damn rainy today. That’s what I love about Portland. I heard on the radio Mt Hood is suppose to get 3 feet of snow tonight. That’s a lotta snow.

“some will win, some will lose, some were born to sing the blues…”

Alright friends… I am going to stop computer time and go finish running errands.

Be Free,
