    My life is at a weird transition nexus of more than one thing happening at once.

    My dad died in April.
    My house is being built.
    I've started an apprenticeship that will lead to a real career.
    I flipped my car two weeks ago and walked away not only unscathed, but a long term misalignment in my shoulder got realigned, leaving me in less pain than I've been in for years.
    I definitely should have at least been maimed for the severity of the crash.
    My band has reached a whole new level of performance and collaboration.
    I'm loved and valued in my community.
    I'm just starting to understand and contend with my CPTSD and it's been convoluted and at times overwhelming, but worth the investment in myself.
    I'm having to wittness my friends and family come to terms with the brokenness of our governments and societies of which I've been aware and writing about for over a decade.
    My music unfortunately becomes more relevant with each passing day.

    I've been re-reading "A Separate Reality" by Carlos Castaneda. It's interesting and strange. It's been so long since I've read it that it's almost like reading it again for the first time.

    I, too, am very grateful for this space, and to all of you who make it up. Whereas I often tease on the day of, to those who understand the reality of U.S. history, and say, "Happy genocide day!" I will admit, however, there is real merit in reflecting on gratitude as a cultural tradition. Thank you for being a part of my life.

    My friend Chet O'Keefe is in town for a couple weeks and I've gotten to enjoy what will be three shows of his as of tomorrow, before he leaves again to head back up north. The two shows so far have been wildly different and each fantastic, and I'm sure tomorrow's will be just as satisfying. Good music is good. Good live music is even better.

    When I get overwhelming dream shit, so as not to fall back into the shit, I rotate on my bed, head to foot or sideways...found it out as a kid. I won't fall back in by rotating my physical position. Resets my dream mind.

    I love that she mentions "Sophie's World" as her introduction to philosophy. That was also my introduction at a similar age. Thank you for sharing this, it resonated with me in many ways.

    Paris Hilton is a fucking hero. I never thought I would think that, but what she has done to give public platform to the voices of us survivors is incredible. I'm very grateful for all she has done.

    Yeah, I have a hard copy finally coming in the mail sometime in September. Joe nobody is a true inspiration. Because of his work, I'm currently working on a concept album about the facility I was at. My band has gratefully been very supportive of this next endeavor.

    The for profit facility that I was locked up in as a young teenager is still open to this day. Albeit another company owns it and it goes under a different name, they run essentially the same program. On average 100 thousand children are annually kept imprisoned in the troubled teen industry in full, the facility I was kept at being only one among many.

    I'm starting an archive project of long form interviews with locals in my area. Do any of y'all have advice on what might be the best handheld voice recorder that's high quality sound but small and discrete so my interviewees can forget that they're being recorded?
