Post-workout Selfie
1 year into working out consistently after years of neglecting fitness.
I work out with max weight on most machines, & I’m nearing max weight on a few others.
I had a setback with a torn rotator cuff, & I’m currently nursing a wrist injury, but I feel a lot stronger & better than I did a year ago.
New haiku drop:
“Motes twirl in moonlight
A cosmos dancing for me
Indifferent still”
I’m currently reading Japanese Death Poems. The introduction inspired me to write a haiku.
“A blade of sunlight
Cuts across a sleeping cat
Content with defeat”
Pictured: the book on a table with sunlight sunlight
Map of the best times to see the blood moon.
See the blood moon. Hear the blood moon (my new single).

I wrote a new song called “Blood Moon.” Justin Smith, as The Withering Blooms, helped me bring it to you.

It should hit streaming services soon.
Thanks for listening!

That’s really cool. But also, that pedal collection!
The Myth of the Red Comet
The Mississippi Delta is fertile ground for farming, but there are also songs & stories in the soil too.
Yep. There’s a lot of lore & mystery for living 27 short years.
Side note: Robert Johnson died & is reportedly buried right outside of my hometown.
I think part of the mystique is that, according to Son House, Robert used to annoy people with his guitar playing. Then he disappeared for half a year & returned an amazing player.
Apparently, he’d gone to practice with a mentor. They played in a graveyard at night where there was no one to bother.
No worries! I get it.
Ran is one of my favorite films from Akira Kurosawa.
I came here to recommend Omni Man cosplay, but I see my job is already done.
I’m not doing it right now, and it’s taking no effort!
That’s great!
On a different note, I plan to do a sleep study this summer. If I’m prescribed a CPAP, I wonder if I can craft it to look like a facehugger..?
I did! I’ve been a lot less active on social media though.
Anyway, I’m bedding down, but I’d be happy to discuss a commission tomorrow.
Cool Hands, Luke!
I love it.
No. I bought the guitar used at a good deal. I bought the case separate and new. Fits like a glove though.
The entire camel’s mouth goes hard. They eat cacti.
That’s one level-headed dog.
KL is up after commercials.
I’ll definitely give it a watch. I read the book for a class on violence in 19th century America and was morbidly fascinated by it.
Enjoyed didn’t quite seem like the right word…
🤘🏻
Will do. Thanks!
If you’re punching nazis, count me in.
The comment section is fine. Thanks!
It’s good enough to get me another day off of work/school with my family.
