Well that was some radical change. I ended up donating about 16 uneven inches of hair, shaving my head completely bald, and radically adopting a new style. I wrote a little bit about my thought process behind the activity, and what I learned from the experience.
It’s been a long journey and I’m so grateful for how many wonderful experiences I’ve had. I still seek more, in unique and rare experiences, trying to awe at as many things as possible. This world is enormous, and I would like be in it. You should do what makes you happy, that’s what I’m trying to do.
Sexuality is such an easy insult to level but such a difficult personal journey to parse. Our sexual preferences change, grow, and challenge us in a reflection of our own path for self. Just a little personal piece on my process.
I had a conversation with Nick Pollifrone about Toxic Masculinity and society today on his podcast Typed Out, which can be found on Spotify or Apple Podcast [link in the blog]
I wanted to do a quick postmortem and highlight some thoughts I had listening back to the episode!
A experimental long form poem, short vignette. Something about This dirty city and it’s fertile soil, against the highs and lows of it’s turmoil.
I hope you like it!
Sibling Iron Chef: Seafood
Peter and I went head to head for cooking skills. We competed for title of head and sous chef. Two plates each, app and entree, three judges, hour and a half time limit. I narrowly won 102-98.
A highlight year for sure. Extremely grateful for everyone around me, I love you all lots. Here’s to a outstanding 2019, filled with love, support, growth, expression, and more exploration.
Hey thanks. The performers: Amy, TB, Maddie, Izzy, Garrett, Jannika, Fozzy, Peter. Thanks Dan for the space and support. Rosie for being the best. All the attendees and artists. Just incredible. The support. The show. The love. Look for more, January in Philly, February and April back in NYC!
A love note the the Shippers that I’m going to have to wait way too long to see, but I’m counting down the days and keeping my hand outstretched.
Merry Christmas!
10 days in Cusco, hiking the Salcantay Trail to Machu Picchu. One of the most awesome experiences of life. The city is wonderful. The backpacking was rewarding. The ruins were incredible. Some thoughts about the place
I had a weird interaction biking across the Brooklyn Bridge earlier this year. A mere few seconds turned into a whole essay. I’m not sure what it is about. I’m vaguely sure it’s all first person narrative. But I liked the whole thing and I want to talk about it.
Just a privilege and a honor to share a stage I built with talented and beautiful friends; Jared Rosen, Toma, Kayla, Mike Robley, Calvin Smith, Garret Robinson Taylor Bradshaw, Blue Spruce, Alicyn Yaffee, Elijah Sokolow, Peter. I reflect on the night, highs and lows, speculate on some improvements, and have aspirations for the next one! November 17th!
We had an event at The Graham. A friend posed nude and another gave drawing lessons and we collectively drank, flexed our creative skills, and had a merry time. I was overjoyed at the experience and success, really looking forward to building on it and the next open mic, Sat Nov 17th 6:30 to late late, at the same place!!
Or how I am trying to lessen my environmental impact because honestly global warming is a species level threat and I want to be doing everything I can, which includes using less, being frugal, and being forthright about my shortcomings. Plus a little on how I think culturally we could be doing better as well.
A summary of my recent financial obstacles. Half rant, half habit vocalization.
