haven't posted here in a while... haven't posted much in other places either. it's been a strange season of creative recalibration (ongoing) and increasing distance from social media...

every day, i think about how we never really talk about the real underlying causes of social issues - the evolutionary and psychological factors/behaviors that have led to these broken, unsustainable systems.
if we go too deep, the whole house of cards might come tumbling down.

i'm always a little curious if anyone has a crush on me...
not because i'm looking, but because writers and musicians are desperate for approval.

even though i'm gigging and making music with bands, it feels like a period of low creative output for me.
but i've also been trying to embrace some rest and downtime and just experiencing life... and there are only so many hours in the day.
maybe that just means the next things are incubating.

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.
