There's no sense in keepin this thing around if I'm not gonna write, right? So here I am, and maybe there you are, too. Let's find out where this goes together, why don't we? I'm currently spending 85-92% of my time hyper-focusing on how unbelievably goddamn weird existence is, and I've written quite a bit about how just unbelievably goddamn…

Hello! In case you're new here, there's this band called Drug Church that I've been obsessed with for somewhere in the neighborhood of two years now. I've written about them quite a bit before, and I suspect I'll continue to do so, because I assume they'll continue to kick copious amounts of ass. What follows is something I started writing back in May, when I was on the eve of attending my first Drug Church headlining show.

In the interest of posting somewhat regularly, I’m gonna share a thing here that was previously published on my old blog, Stay Heavy. I think it’s pretty funny, and maybe you will too. …

I’m finally here to write more about Clutch. There’s a pretty good chance I’ll go on about a few things only marginally related to Clutch, as well, but I don’t know where th…

The Bouncing Souls saved my life. I’ll just go ahead and get that outta the way right now. They are one of the top three or four reasons I survived the second half of 1999 and the entirety of…

I work too much and I don’t write enough. It’s a tale as old as time. To be clear, I don’t work an exorbitant amount, but it’s still too much, because human beings cannot po…

I had a complicated, confusing relationship with religion growing up. That doesn’t make me special, but it’s a fact about me nonetheless. That’ll be discussed here someday, or maybe it won’t. What’…

You know what I’d really like to sit in right now? My homeboy Jim’s old green-and-beige plaid swivel rocking chair, that’s where. That was a perfect chair. I don’t know wher…

My friend Ryan gave me a book a couple of years ago called Several Short Sentences About Writing, by a dude named Verlyn Klinkenborg. I may’ve mentioned it on this blog before, but that was m…

I’ve mentioned this many times over the past few months, both on this “esteemed” blog and out loud, with my mouth, but I am currently in the throes of a full-bodied, months-long o…

Coffee poured, water refreshed, bladder emptied, I was seconds away from putting on my Drug Church playlist and opening up my laptop to see what came out of me. Business as usual many a solo day of…

Note: I wrote this on June 17, 2013, and originally posted it on an old music-related blog that I kept with my homeboy Travis (from back in the day). Neither of us posted anything else on that blog…

NOTE: I started writing this on my old heavy-music-themed blog, Stay Heavy, back in 2018. I abandoned it for reasons unknown, and today I was reminded of its existence. I sat down to tackle Volume …

I think a lot about the two times in elementary school when I allegedly peed my pants. Here’s more information about those incidents. Also, hello! I went out for the basketball team in fifth …
