"I love it when those little chance moments occur. It makes you feel like you're paying attention to the right nuances. Not that I believe in any sort of master plan or that there's a right or wrong path. It just feels like there's an infinite number of paths with endless overlapping details. All you gotta do is be open to them. Aware of them.... Read More
I remember when I was 10 reading Choose Your Own Adventure books and feeling like they explained how amazing lives can cross paths just by chance or how easily one lil trivial decision can map out much greater things.... ok so turning to page 256 to find out a tornado destroyed the bus you were in and killed you shouldn't be a great revalation; but dammit I was in 4th grade - that's some deep 10 year old stuff.

Now there's something for a fortune cookie..."Yep. Totally worth it."
As the solstice approaches, I'll be making my way Home to get cozy with my 2006 juice. Touring has kept me more than arms length from the post crush process this year. So I'm very much looking forward to getting back and diving in not only the vino, but also some music. I've been cultivating and chipping away at... Read More
Good question. I bet the Sphinx would stare back and ask "what the hell are you staring at? Do I have a booger hanging from my nose?"
I love commenting on old journal entries. No one ever looks at their own "back catalogue". I came, I commented, I left... and you have no idea.
Next time TOOL plays in Canada, I'd love to see you guys spen a little longer around the Toronto area. I'm going to have to kill someone to get a fucking ticket the way things are going...sold out in under 15 minutes.
Been catching up on the Minimum Wage Increase pros and cons babble coming out of my chosen home state of Arizona. Most of the arguments against have to do with the supposedly inevitable back lash of corner cutting done by small business owners. The first items to go will be Health Insurance. Now before I get rolling here, keep in mind, I'm no... Read More
i know a girl in Phoenix who lives off of sonic and jack in the box food. she's had every digestive tract problem you can imagine. instead of telling her to refrain from exclusively eating foods which are deep fried, the doctors give her nexium and run tests.
some people are to stupid to understand what their bodies are saying, or just too lazy to listen.

"Finally got some winter stuff up. The Puscifer Hoody is crazy bright.
Like guide ships in from a storm bright. I considered
included some SPF 50 with it. Also have a new Merkin Vineyards
Dickies hoody. Super comfortable and warm. I'm in Europe at the
