i am sitting at my desk eating ginger snaps and drinking milk.
i am sitting at my desk, in my office, typing on a brand new laptop. i am at my office desk, with trixie on the rug beside me, in the warehouse space downtown where i will soon be opening a coffe house and performance space. The Kosmos...coming soon.

ten months ago, i drug my shit out to the street, sold it off, and fled this town a lost and broken individual. four months ago today, i was a hobo in greece, living in an abandoned, turn-of-the-century, waterfront warehouse in Xania, Crete.



today, i am a business owner. and thanks to my odd jobs, i have money in my pocket for landscaping my yard, thrift store browsing, and plenty of groceries and beer. that is absolutely thrilling. i got to buy new underwear to replace my hole-ridden panties. i can stop staring at my roots because i can afford a box of hair dye. i might even own a matching pair of socks soon! oh the luxury! no more cans of tuna and rice and beans. i can afford eggs! meat! butter! beer!

in a month i hope to be up and running with the coffee house. my investors are the three gentlemen who own the space. today one of them took me to get this computer. two weeks ago i wrote and presented a seven page business plan to them without even really knowing what a business plan was. all part of my magic. i am using my left and right hemispheres like i used to do so well. before i got so loopy and lost in free float. look at me function and thrive!




in the late summer of 2007 i was living in vancouver, with a strange desire to go to new mexico. i moved there after a short stint in LA. what i fantasized about my life there was this: i'd meet some working class hero who can do all sorts of useful things with his hands, with whom i would share my bed, i'd have a gnarly little adobe shack downtown, i'd spend my time growing food, drinking with down-to-earth folk, and scheming with trangressional artists.
two years later i have it all before me. that is the power of vision.
