About
I'm 20 and I live in California.
Straight.
I am a student at UC Santa Cruz.
Environmental studies and Jazz studies.
I'm a musician. (drumset, classical percussion, hand percussion, guitar/vocals/harmonica).
Animals are cool. Imma post what I want. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Looking for something specific?
Awww yeah
Found a new place to live, positives:
- Same sized room as I currently have.
- $50 cheaper
- Separate garage with storage and practice space
- Parking
- Cool people
- 2 blocks from the fuckin BEACH!
Thoroughly stoked.
Raccoons brawling right outside my window
Call to me, symphony of the Night
Hell yeah, got hooked up with a 3 day pass and VIP parking at Bottlerock! Will report.
Original project: halfway there
Nailed down another 2 songs this week, working on two more next week. More ideas in the tank and a couple modded standards to play in the set.
Finish this set, record two tracks…
and play all of the good venues around downtown SC: blue lagoon, reef, catalyst, jury room…and house shows yeahhhh!
Keep it rollin keep it rollin
So after my radio show today my dad (who has over a decade in radio experience) talked to me on the phone and told me that I’m ready for commercial radio. He wouldn’t bullshit me.
Fuck yeah!, keep on pushin’.
Stoked.
I made 25 bucks in under an hour today, teaching drums to some students at the community college the next town over.
Perhaps I am to start making more, because apparently there are students that want to learn basic guitar as well!
An hourly rate of 20 dollars, combined with a generous admin and multiple students in prospect?!
Fuck yeah hustling. Fuck yeah Craigslist!
Finally back in California. Arkansas was a long, strange trip. More on all of that later. Been sleepin/chillin in the back of my wagon while pops does his shift :p
High in Denny’s drinking coffee, Flagstaff, Arizona. The journey to Arkansas continues. On the Road
..
Alone.
Hungry.
Hopelessly attached
On the empty written word
grounded in the past
Fawning at pretty faces
Your gaze departs
when theirs arrives.
YOU FIGHT
THE LOVE
TO TURN YOUR “E”
TO “F”
Until you stop
on the side of the road,
Cry out
Into the Void.
No reception.

You know what sucks?
Being so heavily judged upon your character by your family, when you’re just trying to help. But, these people never look at themselves. It’s always the fault of others. When is the rest of my family going to realize that it isn’t about fault? It’s about positive change, and because you cannot control the actions of others, that change can only originally occur within the self.
Namaste.
Ugh
Shit is just PILING up…
I don’t know how much more of this snowball effect I can take.
Breathe.
