inside train tunnel
This weekend my friends took me mushroom hunting in the Santa Cruz Mountains, California. We found no edible mushrooms. But we went to an old train tunnel in the mountain side. They showed me where the old Chateau Liberté once was. It is redwood forest now.
The Chateau Liberté was a legendary rock & roll bar in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The

I rent a room in an old haunted house. My landlady and housemate are settling into old age and a bit kooky. There are raccoons in the walls around the bathroom. I'm always complaining about the unsanitary side of the situation.
The solution they gave me. My landlady will use her cane to hit the floor when she hears a raccoon. She also sent the...

My tax accountant had one question for me, "How did you manage to survive last year? Nobody can live here on this amount of money."
"Let's just say things got a little rough," was my response.
Nobody is bombing me; so I'm not complaining.
I am working on some new music releases. Some of the songs have pirate themes. I just got stoned in the evenings for two weeks in December; and wrote some songs. I was almost too high to write; and figured I would throw the songs away or rewrite later. I threw away the first verse of every song and they seem pretty good. As it...

Nameless (Ukraine, Ternopil)/ Live, 2012 - Love save the World
One of the sets I most respect is by @discordia and is called "Touch of Light" . It has 11,997 Likes. Probably now over 12,000 Likes. In 2009, the early days of Suicide Girls was coming to an end; and maybe the story was coming to an end. But when I saw this set by Discordia I decided if she...
