     So I took a break from writing these because of many reasons I will get into later. August was interesting to say the least. I find myself longing for the autumn and winter for once. I wanna go fishing so bad dawg it's not even funny fuck man. I am also gonna get fucking ripped. I'm gonna buy a pull-up bar and weights and I'm just gonna fucking. Get Swole. It's gonna be baller. Im gonna get stuido headphones for my damn electric drums and just go fucking hard dude. I've been trying to embrace my hippie side more genuinely. I feel like a lot of the times I claim to be a hippie and yet there are some things  I do that are quite the opposite. I should judge others less. I'd expect others to do the same for me. Live shamelessly. Shame isn't valuable to me anymore. So in light of that news I'd like to share with y'all The August Moods. A horrible little paragraph of  based on the list of things I compiled over the course of August that I was going to write a blog post about. At some point I considered even possibly breaking these topics up into multiple posts! So,,, here's the list

I'm disgusted with everything to the point of nausea. myself, the world, my actions. (thats actually what it says. So edgy...)

Roadkill (?)

Conflicted about family (yea)

band update (!!)

doctor appointment (nothing happened I probably don't have cancer tho)

fuck it we ball (????)

everyone is a messiah (what does that fucking mean)

and now what all of that means in order

I was experiencing such a terrible case of burnout. Work, personal life, everything was just making me so fucking tired that I wanted to throw up all of the time. I also had to make some difficult decisions that were rough on me. It's fine now though. I'm all good, I had a super good day today! The global condition always makes me want to throw-up. Everytime I see a headline about climate change I get nauseated. Then I get angry. So angry, that I want to throw up again. Everyone is just so desensitized to everything, it drives me insane how often I have to see dead animals rotting away on the side of the road. I hate it so fucking much. It's not even just the dead animal it's the wasted life. It disgusts me. I dunno maybe I'm just  a sentimental fool but I care about the birds that get hit by cars!!! We're just supposed to deal with that like it's not rotting animals on the side of the road. like what the fuck. I fucking hate cars so much. We're just supposed to accept that and the constant capitalistic overstimulation that 90% of america's cities look like. I envy those who live out in the woods so fucking much.  I was feeling very conflicted because I was having some... interesting family events that affected me in ways I wasn't expecting. It's so weird. It's like I say I hate you, but I miss you. I don't care about you but I worry for you. How can I know if you care about me? How do I know if I should trust you. My dad has been texting me more lately. I feel bad sometimes for being cold to him, but I also don't. It's complicated. It always is. My band is booking hella shows! Sept 25th at Real Art Tacoma!!!!! 2 MORE IN OCTOBER (((;;;; I really like a lot of the music we're pumping out, and there's already plans in the works to do some recording. I'm not really clear on how it's gonna work but it'll be sick I'm sure. I had a doctor's appointment to check out some sus lumps. No cancer. wahoo. Fuck it, we ball. I do not give a fuck anymore. I am. Ballin.

Everyone is a messiah. We're all god. We are constantly reaching new peaks of enlightenment. We control our own destiny. We are all jesus. We should all wash the feet of prostitutes and the homeless. They are our cousins. We are all walking temples creating universe after universe with every decision made in a split second.  We are all code in a simulation in a matrix. Code is malleable. We are in control, Harness your energy, write your code, carve your path, and live everyday knowing that yesterday you did the best you could and tomorrow you will do the best you can. All you can control is today.

So anyways that was The August Moods. Will I do this next august? will it be a different month? will I just do it every time I experience burnout? who fucking knows.
