april 23rd 2024
i was driving home from a nighttime meditation meeting earlier and a small animal ran across the road in front of my car (safely, i hit the brakes)…the funny thing is, last night, i was doing the exact same thing, and a small animal ran across in the road in front of my car, on the same street, in the exact same place…

In the bathtub listening to an AA speaker meeting and the speaker sounds like an angry Joe Pera (it’s not Joe) (He’s not actually angry either, just passionate)
february 5th 2024
I never in my life had noticed there was a button on the microwave that says “warm hold”
I never in my life had noticed that they have a defibrillator on the wall at the grocery store
And both are comforting
rows and rows of cars parked at the cemetery
dirt and dust from a riding lawn mower gets kicked into the air and blown by the wind into sun beams shining down through the trees
Forgot to make a wish on my birthday candle
But now I make a wish every morning and a few times throughout the day too
Smashed vase on the sidewalk with the pieces of it forming a beautiful shape
All the cars are gone from the cemetery now
empty factory building i look through the jagged fence and through the window
nothing inside apart from a blue ladder and a few plain shirts on a clothing rack
I see my dad’s smile in a video I watch
Autumn leaves on the ground look like frosting or paint this year

one of my meditation tips is to picture a little country western town in the corner of your mind and imagine that your breathing is the wind blowing through it

My bag idea:
The “Bat Bag”
It would be in the style of the baggu horizontal duck bag. The base of it would be a beige/cream color and it would have a yellow outline/border going around the outside of it. The handles would be black and there would be bats (the animal) embroidered on it and they would have red eyes maybe. I would love to make this vision come to life. I’m not sure if I’m explaining it properly or in the best way…

blissfully eating a $4 sandwich outside of the corner store with my eyes closed
a woman named quincy asked if it was okay to smoke a cigarette near me
she was in town for business and very outgoing
and reaffirmed my joy of getting to indulge in a specific craving
even if in the moment that meant a cheap premade deli sandwich
i recommended her some good sushi places to try
but i forgot to tell her about the best one and regretted it
my mom told me shes been sleeping better and dreaming more lately

a few podcasts change my life and become my best friend every year since 2016 and this year it is “the joe budden podcast”

and when i walked inside of the store they were playing “best friend” by 50 cent

december 4th 2018
had a dream that i told one of my coworkers about another dream i had and it helped them fix their relationship and it made them like me (i feel like they hate me in real life)
later on in the dream i just remember being in a giant mostly empty auditorium but it was the size of an nfl stadium and had a glass ceiling and i went backstage to look for a ghost and it was really dark back there
the dream ended with me getting chased on a football field by ja rule except he had short dreads

went to a halloween party in the middle of nowhere tonight and one of the people at the house had a tattoo gun and i got a tattoo of a strawberry on my shoulder but it looks more like a funny potato/strawberry mashup
had a good night tho
got to eat some totinos pizza rolls (a staple of my middle school/high school life)
update: the next day while i was waiting outside for an uber to work i saw the person who gave me the tattoo drive by and they waved. i had never met or seen them in my life before last night. strange coincidence
october 31st 2018
i am sitting at my desk for the first time since moving into this apartment and i can see people outside walking around with their halloween costumes on…there’s something special about today
october 30th 2018
spent the last 5 days in seattle with my mom and decided i’d rent a car so i could drive back to oregon instead of taking the bus or train. it’s about a 3 hour drive and i stopped halfway through the trip at a restaurant called “country cousin” in centralia, washington. i’ve seen it a few times before when doing this drive but never went in. i had a slice of pumpkin pie and 2 bud lights. i love this place
october 29th 2018

this morning i walked past the receptionist from the eye doctors office that i go to. she was standing absentmindedly on the sidewalk staring upwards into a library window or possibly just at a tree with changing leaves
october 8th 2018
today it feels like a nice october day, i can see the big tall pink building outside of my window surrounded by fog. yesterday i listened to the new sheck wes ‘mudboy’ album while cleaning the kitchen and went to a kikagaku moyo show and then billy rays dive bar afterwards which is my favorite place in the world. since moving i hadn’t been there in almost a month. it was nice to see some old friends and just felt great to be back there although i drank too much, which was stupid and not good for my heart…need to be better! also, i am going to be working almost everyday this week at my new job. i’ve done three training shifts so far and starting to become more comfortable now
october 4th 2018
first day at my new job! going to be a server at a retirement community. hoping it goes well

october 1st 2018
went to a doctors appointment yesterday and afterwards while i was waiting for public transit to arrive so i could go home, i went to this park right next to where the train stops because i saw leaves were falling in abundance from the trees, but not just leaves, apples too. apples were dropping down every second like rain and i was trying to take some pictures of everything that was going on and avoid getting hit in the head by a falling apple at the same time. they were definitely dropping from high enough to leave a bruise! it was a great introduction to october and i had a good day overall despite my arm being sore from getting a tetanus shot and losing in fantasy football by 1 point for the second straight week

september 29th 2018
first time to winco today since probably 2014…it’s more like a theme park than a grocery store…just incredible…sensory overload! rented a zipcar and went there, as well as goodwill, and uwajimaya. at goodwill i got a bunch of halloween decorations, some movies on vhs, two sweatshirts that i didn’t try on and ended up not fitting, plus a ‘nightstand’ type piece of furniture to put my tv on (only $10 for that). picked up lots of groceries from winco (including ‘beyond’ burgers!) and got some vermont curry from uwajimaya plus a bunch of snacks, gyoza, and milk tea. great day! it was nice to drive around at night in a more suburban area through dark winding roads and trees and big grocery store parking lots. a lot of the most special memories of growing up for me were driving around in places like that
september 26th 2018
moved to a new apartment and got a new job at a retirement community and a ‘warm apple pie” candle i am excited for the last few months of the year and hopefully a special and growing period of my life
september 26th 2018
feeling sad looking at google street view of my hometown and the neighborhoods i grew up in and just missing middle school and high school
i used to wear shorts everyday even in the winter and someone i knew would ask me to burn them cd’s (i remember once they asked for a cobra starship album) and i would do it and give them the cd’s when i got on the bus in the morning and bring big bags of candy to school and hand them out to random people in the hallway
the bus stop..
september 23rd 2018
awake at 8:47 A.M. listening to a fishing show on the radio waiting for the nfl games to start at 10 A.M. (football sunday always feels like christmas morning) and my mom has been visiting since Friday it has been so amazing to see her and spend time with her
september 22nd 2018
i wonder what the world would be like if everyone was as passionate and expressive as a live television studio audience

if anyone is reading this, listen to "watching movies with the sound off" album by mac miller, especially if you haven't before. he was a beautiful artist and seemingly an incredible person, who i was very inspired by, and correlate certain memories of my life to his music. if you can have a positive impact on such a large amount of people, you've absolutely fulfilled your job on earth!! you are in heaven now! thank you for your time here, wish there could've been more
september 7th 2018
sort of feeling depression and dread...missing the hospital...like a stockholm syndrome type thing maybe
september 6th 2018
first nfl regular season game of the year today! eagles vs. falcons. i don't particularly love either of those teams, but my brother and i put nelson agholor in our starting fantasy lineup because he's gonna be on tv. life is all about healthy euphoria and watching an nfl game that one of your fantasy players is playing in is one of the greatest for me
september 6th 2018
spent four days in the hospital, three of them i slept there. i started off in the emergency room around 4 pm and got wheeled to the actual hospital around 8 pm that night. having someone push you around the hospital when you are laying in bed is a feeling that i love. i wish you could pay $10 to get pushed around the entire campus for an hour.
my room had a tv, a bathroom, a bed, a chair, and a small nook near the window with enough space to lay down. it was almost like a tiny studio apartment, but with a nurse that checks in on you every hour or so. i got three meals a day from a small menu…hospital food is one of my favorite types of food so that was an exciting part. my three favorite items were the hamburger, the breakfast burrito, and the blueberry cobbler.
in the hospital i was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. it makes sense, although i always just thought i had asthma. my life is going to be different now but i am glad to be alive at all! its funny because my life is actually going to be better in a few ways!! i have to quit my bad habits or else… i’ll probably get a stroke or have heart failure…now that’s some good motivation!
september 1st 2018

walked to sushiland yesterday but they had a power outage so we went to applebees instead and drank some $1 strawberry margaritas. then walked down the street to a different sushi place and it happened to be the best sushi i've had all year...and even cheaper than sushiland!! it's called "sushi ohana" i forgot to get seared salmon though which i am really frustrated about and having trouble letting it go. seared salmon is my #1 favorite food

june 16th 2018
one of our bathroom lights is burnt out and the knob that controls the other light fell off and we can’t find it, so it’s mostly been dark in there for the past week. i’ve been using an iPhone flashlight primarily and trying to imagine it as a bathroom in some modern chic hotel but a few times i’ve been in there with no light at all. it’s grown on me, and i love taking showers in the dark, but i’m ready for light again
june 12th 2018

kid at the park named kyrie told me if you put both of your hands on top of your head it helps you catch your breath faster. i was winded within 5 minutes of our pickup game but i made it through without dying! i've always been able to run fast but never had good endurance, even during my athletic prime. i might have asthma. kyrie got mad at his teammates for not trying hard enough to win. he said he was moving to michigan soon to play college basketball and angrily rode his bike home

enjoyed the nfl draft very much a lot of weird picks and disappointment but everything is ok. i would be the greatest nfl gm of all time let me run a team please! seahawks should've taken courtland sutton and ravens should've taken dj moore. i love kerryon johnson whoever drafts him will be in my top 5 favorite teams most likely unless they are one of my least favorite teams
april 26th 2018
forgot to write i got burgerville after work last night and brought it to the park and ate it there right before it got too dark outside. also, went to this cheap but surreal bar that had carpet floors, a bunch of "grandparents house"-esque armchairs, lamps, and a huge outdoor gravel patio. there was a part of the patio with a roof that looked like a childhood suburban garage with a ping pong table too...
april 26th 2018
looking forward to the nfl draft today...startts in less than an hour. most excitement for a draft that i've had in a long time! its 80 degrees and sunny outside feels pretty nice. i have a vivid memory of watching the 2016 nfl draft at a restaurant downtown and a ton of ambulances drove by with their sirens on. i hope saquon barkley somehow falls to the buccaneers, otherwise i would love him to get picked by the jets or the colts. really dont want the jets to draft a quarterback because i love teddy bridgewater and he deserves a chance to be a franchise qb!!
update: i like baker mayfield but picking him first overall seems like a bad choice. barkley to the giants is really good for them. i feel mostly neutral about it. makes the giants a lot cooler for sure. jets drafted a quarterback of course!!!! ugh!!!! wish i had some money in my account so i could go get a subway sandwich or a watermelon from the store
april 26th 2018

most of the jobs i’ve had in my life, i have quit on the first day of work, or before even showing up for my first shift. i hope no potential employers are reading this-don’t worry, i’m a changed man! well, i’m trying at least. the biggest qualities i want to focus on building are: following through, persistence, resilience, mental strength, and hard work, amongst many others of course! i am aware that some of those qualities may be redundant, but i need them all. apart from my “career” as an artist, the only job i didn’t quit on the first day was at a candy shop when I was in high school. however, i did neither get fired nor quit this job, i just simply stopped going. that was my first job! since then, every other job i’ve tried, from being a dishwasher at a retirement home, to stocking at Macy’s, to driving delivery for a sandwich place, have all led to immediate dread, depression, panic, stomachaches, and suicidal urges within the first shift. i’ve been lucky to have my creative work allow me to get by and pay the bills, but i want a longterm future. i want to be a better, more responsible person. i want to have a family and a stable career. i don’t want to be famous, i want to have enough money to go to community college. i already backed out of what was supposed to be my actual first day of this job, but today is my first shift and i am two hours in. i just need to make it through this shift!

i haven't done as well as i should have in life but hey i'll just pretend i was born just now, this is my first minute ever being awake. also, i feel bad because i have been too immersed in the NBA playoffs during the time I've been here visiting my mom. i am very frustrated with the blazers!!! had some good beet soup for dinner tonight though and had a great time talking to my dad and older brother on Sunday night. plus i got to see my other brother on Saturday and we had dinner and shared a 6 pack of Rainers and watched the Blazers game (they lost) and I got to see my baby nephew Anthony he was funny and running around and laughing a lot even though it was past his bedtime but the dogs woke him up

had some honeysuckle peach wine, cranberry walnut cheese and crackers today…don’t usually have things like that but i wanted it to be a special day plus the concept of a “wine and cheese night” is sort of funny. finally went to the mall…beautiful feeling! i went through a period where malls made me depressed, but after not being in one for so long it was refreshing. just walking around stores and the food court. we moved around some furniture in the apartment and threw away some boxes so there’s more open space now…my short term goal is to get a 4x6 rug (not too big not too small) because it would look nice on the open floor…i wish i had more money! not to mention i spend the money i do have on things that i shouldn’t like beer and fast food. went to the bar afterwards and some people at a table near mine were talking about babysitting. one of them was talking about a particular kid who was scared of the dark. i wrote down in my notes a phrase she said, “the man in the wall”
overall i had a really good day and felt happy

i had already been thinking about this, but after talking for awhile with my neighbor last night, i may try to start a sports blog. separately from this blog...or just in it's own tab i guess! i had three dreams growing up: be a professional athlete, work in a doctors office, or be a sportswriter. it would be nice to have a piled up archive of writing and little articles. i am not sure exactly where i want to take this. i have a ton of ideas! i don't always follow through on things so that's why i am posting this here

sorry it has been awhile since an update! i am not sure how many people, if anyone, even reads or cares about this page anyway, but i enjoy writing on here and it’s important for me to do it…so, sorry to myself really! one month ago, on valentines day, morgan and i visited the oregon humane society and met Buttercup, a sweet and funny cat! we came back the next day to adopt her! i’ve always wanted my own cat- i can’t believe its actually happened. the major reason why i was able to finally go through with it is because i met one of my neighbors, named alex, at the dive bar across the street. awhile ago, another one of my neighbors was trying to knock down front doors and screaming in the hallway a day after he was released from the mental hospital. alex lives in an emergency exit apartment so his door has glass around the handle. the man was looking for his mother and punched through the glass around the handle. there was blood all over the hallway! our landlord had to come check it out and alex secretly has a cat, which he had to let our landlord know about. i was told it was a no pet apartment building before moving in. it turns out our landlord doesn’t really care! anyway, buttercup was sick for awhile but doing much better now. buttercup loves to stick her paw in cups of water and knock them over. she loves to sit on the windowsill and she loves to roll around and meow. today we took a beautiful walk to the grocery store and got some fruits + vegetables. i had an uber driver that had wifi in his car and let me stream the final few minutes of the blazers game on my laptop

i wish i knew how to stop the pain in my stomach! it's been the worst episode in awhile tonight! i have had terrible problems with my stomach since i was a little kid. i remember the first time it happened being curled up on the bathroom floor in agony and wondering if it would ever go away. i still have vivid memories of the bad ones even from almost 10 years ago! it helps a little bit when i drag my nails across my thighs or shoulder or wrist over and over...i think that occupies my mind with a different pain slightly, for a split second. having on a podcast or the radio helps a bit too, it doesn't stop the pain, but its comforting. in middle school there was a specific episode of south park that i would watch on my iPod that would have the same effect, it wouldn't really help, but it made the experience a tiny bit easier, maybe just by placebo. i have these awful stomach aches fairly often, but not really in a consistent pattern. some days are ok, even some whole weeks if i'm lucky! i keep track of the most painful stomachaches like its a sport or like theres going to be an award show. it is really debilitating i am scared everytime i am out of the house. it is hard to be around anyone unless i am very very comfortable with them and think they would understand why i might have to leave or be alone for awhile. i am so scared of the pain even when i'm alone. when it happens it gives me anxiety too for multiple reasons which only makes things worse. usually it's triggered by eating, no specific foods though. i am sorry to complain on here, but the pain has been so bad at times that i've thought i'd rather be dead than feel it. i have been to the hospital many times and to so many doctors throughout my life but nothing has really helped. generally the most logical answer is IBS. but it seems more complicated than that...either way, i hate this disease! i do read forums about IBS and it ruins the lives of so many people! i know i am being a little brief (i should be more detailed) but i want to keep this condensed and plus it is a little bit embarrassing to talk about for me! if anyone struggles with the same thing please send me an email, especially if you have any tips or things that have helped you. thank you

i cant believe christmas is over it is scary how time passes but everyone says that. i had a conversation with an uber driver (car ride service) about how fast time has been going and i asked him if it was maybe a scientific reason and we talked about that. i assume it's just part of getting older but you never know. my brother and i lost in our fantasy football championship by 3 points in the most frustrating way but oh well at least its kind of funny

being on an amtrak train is one of my favorite feelings in the world. they have a cafe car and a lot of bathrooms. it was terrible, surreal, and chilling to hear about the train that derailed today. multiple deaths and many injuries. i've taken that same train (the 501) from seattle to portland multiple times! i have also been on a train going home to seattle that struck and killed someone on the tracks. tell your loved ones that you love them! cherish your life! but don't live in fear either!
