I had an interview with a recreational cannabis company today. I believe it went well. I have no reason to believe I’ll get the job but I don’t think I made a fool of myself. Small victories. Continue reading Pot Shoppin’

Assertion
I once had a girl mad at me because I don’t make eye contact when I talk to her. In her eyes, I was being dismissive and rude. I told her in my world eye contact is considered a challenge. That’s when I realized I am part dog and I learned everything I know about nonverbal communication from canine culture. She took my submission as an offense which still confuses me. When I explained how things work in a pack environment she thought I was being intentionally obtuse. Continue reading Assertion

Cabin Fever
My favorite sound is vehicles trying to accelerate uphill on Queen Anne Ave when the pavement’s wet. Continue reading Cabin Fever
Tourism
I miss my dog. I miss thunderstorms. I miss the P&H. Today, I filled out the Memphis Flyer annual popularity contest. Wrote in some of my personal favorites for a few categories and caught a bit of homesickness. Continue reading Tourism
Monotomoney
I’ve settled into a weekly routine and it feels great. It seems I’ll have just enough time in my real life to keep working on my passion while working a different job for a living. After extensive struggle, I’ve finally risen to the same creative level as Memphis artists! Accomplishing this in downtown Seattle is a coup for me no matter what the haters say. I essentially abandoned the lap of luxury to chase this half-cocked dream across the country. It’s excellent to be stable again for the first time in years. Continue reading Monotomoney
Menage Blah
Some would think the threesome I had this weekend is worth posting about. In some ways it is. Just not the sexy ways. I’m still a bit shaken by the whole experience because it happened with no discussion first. Continue reading Menage Blah
My Daily Practice
The regularity of a job has been the greatest gift to my sanity recently. The stress I’m managing due to the job itself is minimal compared to the heavy existential angst I put myself through to get here. And what’s better, the job offers 4 sessions of free counseling through a 3rd party. I got stressed out and started crying in front of my boss. Fortunately, I anticipated it and asked to talk in private. I am excited about Labor Day weekend and I am irrationally worried about having the energy to be happy that weekend.

Wings
I’ve been able to feel my wings since I was 18. That’s when I took yoga and started feeling my body for the first time. When it came time to open the back of my chest I discovered invisible appendages. There are symmetrical spots on my back where I can sense my aura extending beyond my physical body. What could it be, if not wings? At first I could just stretch them. Like a chick fresh from the egg, I simply tensed my muscles for the sensation of knowing they are there. After a while, I developed more dexterity. Nowadays, I can take flight if the circumstances are right. Continue reading Wings
