good, okay, and alright
three sides of an ever-rotating obtuse triangle
“This is not your apocalypse! we all did this so don’t get it twisted”
that’s what he yelled
like one of those fuckers obsessed with poker
we all know one of them
or some of them
i am not the monster i occasionally foster
her name is Martha
i think
i think a lot
articulation is another part of gravity that is best left to the trees

Time management is a challenging endeavor to master
First written words of today pre coffee // during first coffee of the morning. 🙏✨🥰
Ashley Klump and I are about to head downtown to the Pioneer Courthouse Square to see the legendary Patti Smith perform.
As a singer, writer, and visual artist who only recently discovered this goddess in the last five or so years it feels like a true honor.
Patti envelopes so many of the things I strive to bring to my performances and grateful to know there is someone who has been doing it decades before I even knew about her.
It’s going to be just under 100 degrees downtown. Surrounded by concrete and a lotta sweaty folks. So here goes the adventure of a lifetime. Eeeeek!!!

One of the biggest influences on the sounds I create these days is World's end girlfriend ! Sometime this year he is putting out an epic 35 song, 144 minute album and I am beyond ecstatic to sit and absorb the worlds he will explore.

It’s going to take me a moment to fully transcribe all the love and gratitude I have for this weekend.
Firstly, to Ashley Klump, for loving this crazy fox enough to give me a shot at the ultimate commitment.
Secondly, to all the friends and family, that came from near and far and helped put all the little pieces together to make this a celebration a reality! I’m going to miss a lot of names so give me time to take notes and better explain each in depth.
Off the top of my head, Chelsey, Alex Edmands, Clyshaw, Burt, Elaine, Aunt Mag, Craig and Kristie Klump, Bonnie Latham.. Damn I know I am forgetting so many! Hank! Flying Caravan! Ian Rowan! All the volunteers at TCWL!
Holy wow ya’ll! Seeing our families commingle, seeing what our little nieces found magical in nature! All the little art pieces!
The giant canvases everyone collaborated to create, the little everyone painted, we’ve yet to fully absorb, the gifts and cards from everyone, (Josh and Hank) for the handmade art gifts, all the beautiful toasts… Matt! Nate! for becoming closer and better friends! Nicole for the sound advice of staying hydrated and helping Ashley and my self in so many ways it’ll days to explain!
I am beyond words and there are many more moments to share!
It felt necessary to try and write a little while I’m still buzzing!
Atomic for the flowers!
Bethany and Brian for photos and video, we cannot wait to see!
Thank you everybody! I am so grateful and love you ALL SO FREAKIN MUCH!
Kellen and Brit for helping get the food! AAaaaah!!! I know there are so many more to thank! and I will! Either digitally or most likely in a hand written note. You made this fox and swan’s dream a reality and it wouldn’t have been the same without every freakin one of you! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!!
A happy summer solstice to everyone!

that’s it for now! time for a power nap and then cleaning up house so this busy mind can find focus.
One month from now is my wedding day. Feeling a lot of feels. Working on the things and making sure I am ready to be ready physically, mentally emotionally, spiritually, etc and so many more things. Figuring out clothing and last minute stuffs. Need some alterations to a coat, gotta stash dollars to be okay in the off days.
Wowzers! Excited, mostly focused. As an artist deadlines help, This little ant is doing his best.
feeling the freedom in the free fall
and the acceptance I found in madness
is to realize the actual and see the adjectives
all together
all as one
eyes before nose
breath by breath
and so on
this is it
and now
and now
a machine is growing bigger and people are getting littler
it’s easy being secondary
it ain’t easy being right in a world of so many “what’s left?”
it ain’t easy being left behind and worrying about “who’s right?”
all together
here we are
