I live in our home built of 🎶, Jindo, cooking, laughter, 📚, bird feeders, games, and presence.

A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.

Watch me flex role my way through life.
what cartographer can chart
the #contour lines of the consciousness

elevated peaks, hachured depressions, drafted through consequence

fringes of circumstances outlining an expanding cognizance

Our province is a map of the soul earned through humble senescence

Travel with me, if just for a while,
on this pilgrimage to the #fringe of my celestial horizon
Far from comforts, traditions, or conventions,
to honor alinea, a symbol of power that lies in

the space of our journey
the time til our return

Dip my life
lacquer grooves
spiraling stories
stylus tattooed
in a digital bath

Stamp my body
#sonic construed
frequencies imprinted
analog amplitude
while warmth lingers

Hear my song
eternal etude
finite revolutions
mortal magnitude
Imperfect, noisy, and full

I know you, even if just a bit

Millennium made to
Stare into fires
Cook stories
Stoke bonds
and sleep under the same stars that have always witnessed

#Thoroughbred to
Hike through
budding Buckeye
mossy boulders
and ascend from dark caves to #pinnacles that beckoned

Mom’s #reservoir, an aquifer in bones
Her memories seep slowly into my skin
Filtered with longing, regret, and porous stones
Lining walls of a well to draw within

Our hands tell time in years
clasping in moments that matter & those that did not
interlocking in laughter and untangling life’s knot

What force can #displace what is & always has been?
A distracted person with an innocent sin
We unlock as they pass, stifling curses within

(I am no frontrunner)
But ride in my #slipstream until the time is right
The cutting wind? I’ll shear

(I am a forbearer)
Now take your place to lead us to the light
The Vanguard? I'll go rear

(I am from before)
Recall before time carries me from sight
Go finish! You, I’ll cheer

Dial straight into my #bloodline
Hear vibrations of iron rings
Operator is on standby
With a switchboard of heartstrings
Leave a message in my bones
Saved to replay and repeat
Transmitting frequent love tones
Connected to our heartbeats

A #complex number, one I’m working out
two bleeding hearts =
(a beauty with smarts) + (a hot headed lout)

A complex solution
won despite self doubt
love myself deeply =
(I am worthy)x(Shout!)

Love starts with yourself, accept it is true
Add or multiply, but never subtract you

A penguin, tired of everything
the cold is quiet and comforting
far from everyone, disconnecting
I'm just a bird, can't do anything

A penguin, braving life off of ice
Never flown before, tears in my eyes
New #safehaven, a flock of allies
I'm a bird now, searching the blue skies

Let me tell you a story from 1991
About a man-machine who surprised everyone
Rolled into town to stop a young threat in time
"Mimetic polyalloy" -- a technical prime

Then the illusion splattered -- tear drops of #mercury
"I'll be back" said T-800, rest was history

When I dive in your eyes, I'm in my cups
Sipping slowly, from a simmering sea
Savoring a glance with inflaming sups
Ambrosia, you taste of divinities
Lingering, burning, on half bitten lips
#Chase it all down with a shot of your kiss

Hear the Drums of #Liberation
every stroke a booming heartbeat
Rhythms of a generation
drumming defeat of deceit

Hear the Drums of Liberation
every stroke marking the right time
A lockstep organization
marching to a new paradigm

Things I do while working:

1. Dance at my desk w/o shame. My better half has yet to report me to HR.
2. Dwell on the vss365 prompt fluttering in my periphery. 10 hours to go.
3. Sing "Mus-taaaaard" with the same energy as Suga yelling "J-Hooooope."
4. Use the Oxford comma.

Humbly, I submit to #modest tea's sovereignty
Coffee's herbacious cousin in the family tree
Whose milky 80s progeny's modernity
Popularized pearls as chewy accessories
A symphony of texture and taste mastery
Boba bless me, I pay tribute ritually

my crossed arms and barbs can be #disarmed
my raging heart is easily charmed
by please, thank you, and returned shopping carts
a good-luck-have-fun when the game starts
kindness to service, basically free
clear blueskies for sharing #poetry
joys akin to the Steph Curry three

Voracious passion for madeleines
Light, delicious, a small bit of zest
Like kisses teasing skin to sing hymns
A timeless recipe of conquest
Genoise from a #cyclone of eggs, sugar, & time
Folded gently with substance until bodies combine
Baked golden till I am yours & you are mine

Around midnight, I remembered a promise of foccacia for lunch the next day. I grumbled and exchanged PJs for an apron and prepared the dough so it could sit for 12 hours. Leftover cherry tomatoes were eagerily added in the afternoon.

It was worth it.

Walk the synaptic #thoroughfare under neuronal flair
Familiar dendrite paths contoured by a foregone forebear
Walk the axon avenue over electric fanfare
Ancient brocard boulevards to remind that we share
A myelin laced legacy of strength to which we are heirs

A multitude of you to just an island of me
With limited ports for sailors of the digital sea
An ocean of you to just an explorer of me
With limited time to manifest our destiny
To seek the #nexus between all things diverse
To explore & curse, connect & converse
To anchor us in the universe

Question for those that #yakitori at home: What binchotan (charcoal) do you recommend and where do you buy it from?

I've tried Thaan and Onyx, but open to trying something new that works with a small 17.5" Teruhime Koukaseki grill.

Tonight's the night, the time's right, for #bathtub intimacies under moonlight

Our house clean, chores complete, bodies willing to delay sleep

Into threadbare attire with aching desire, bathroom mist feeding our fire

Hand in hand let's consummate this path & give our dog an overdue bath. #vss365

When she suggested enabling family library on Steam, it seemed like the right thing to do. My 19-year account isn't shabby, but it's clear now it'll be no more than a candle to the quickly growing & carefully curated library of the beautiful gaming demon that's my partner. 🫠 #steamdeck

If I could run my hands across the rings of an #oak tree, the recorded notes of history play back to me

Songs of strength, sagas of bending not breaking, dirges and eulogies, anthems for making

Oaklandish grooves rooted in rotation, spinning local love and impact to the heart's station.
