What I've Been Up To

Topamax has saved my life

Hi gang. Long time no chat. How’s kicks?

I have not been much in the way of writing save for one or two new poems I’m workshopping now. I got a brand new electric bass I am writing extensively on towards a new record where it figures as the primary instrument.

That record is tentatively titled Stoned Ape Theory and I hope to begin recording it soon in which I will be handling the majority of the instrumentation myself but everything will be centered about around a bass guitar figure. Some of it is desert grunge jams ala early Kyuss and some of it is almost like early Tortoise and Rodan. Mournful and melodic. I am excited to share it with you.

I have been walking everyday and getting coffee and things in the neighborhood. I did a reading and an open mic that went swimmingly. I turned 44 years old yesterday and my wife and I celebrated nine years married and fifteen years together.

Through it all the new medication continues to do what it’s supposed to do with seemingly no side effects. My therapist said we can effectively consider my symptoms managed. I feel like I have reached a plateau I never thought I’d see.

Did I mention I am doing a podcast now with Dan Denton ?

Just Another Way To Waste 60 Minutes

We were on hiatus but are about to bounce back with a big 4/20 episode/mental health check in all about why we needed the long break. It should be good. We have bigger plans for future episodes. Go like and subscribe and check out past episodes at the link above.

I think that’s it for now. Thanks to all of you for being in my corner. I mean that.
