I don’t make sense.
I’ve got my pride.
Don't need no meaning.
I feel no shame.
I will no believe,
I’ve got no choice.
I’m out of control,
But I love it!

I now understand why people sometimes develop adversarial relationships with certain insect species.

Thanks. My neighbor warned me to look out for them, but this summer got a little out of control and I didn’t notice until it was too late.

They either flew off when I hosed down the tree, or they went with the fruit into the brush pile. But yeah, that would have been satisfying to some degree.

Damn leaf-footed bug infestation ruined my abundant pomegranate harvest this year. Gonna have to cut all of the fruit off and throw them out to get rid of the bugs. Live and learn and do better next year I suppose. 🤠🌱 #GardenSky #LeavesIsPlants

My little pumpkin is looking great! 🤠🌱

I was wondering. thank you!

I just realized I said Kristy Os and not Krusty O’s! D’oh!

Yes! The foot spa was definitely unintentional! I still need to find a permanent place to store that. Glad you saw the Kristy Os and Wind and Truth. Those were what inspired this “unintentional Easter eggs.”

‘93 for me. That was the year that they faced the Suns in the finals, and as a Suns fan, that may have been the most I ever got into basketball.

Threw my back out by sneezing this morning! Uhg. At least I’ve got the day off, but now instead of trying to work on projects around the house, I’m sitting with the heating pad playing Balatro.

Building 64-pad drum kits in Ableton is fun! Playing them is even more so. Gotta keep developing my secret finger drumming technique. 🤞🛢️👆🥁✌️🪘🫵⚡️🖖🔋🖐️💡👇

If you do try one, I hope you enjoy!

Have you ever had white pizza? Not Alfredo, just olive oil and crushed garlic. Delicious.

Alfredo!?!

I need to remember this. Do the work, then talk about it after it’s done.

What if Dog was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us.
Just a stranger on the bus.
Trying to make his way home.

Yeah, yeah
Dog is good
Yeah, yeah
Dog is great
Yeah, yeah, yeeaah yeeaah yeeeaah

Give it a shot! You might like it, or even love it.

Whatever accidental audio delay that happened to Danielson when he said “Orange” was trippy as hell! #AEWDynamite

It’s so cool that #AEWDynamite has been on for 6 years! It hasn’t always been perfect, but it’s been my favorite show since its debut. I’m proud to say I’ve watched every episode! Here’s to many more years of fun with AEW!

It’s been a while since I displayed these paintings under a black light.

Joseon was a Neo-Confucian state, and under Confucian political theory: A loyal subject must remonstrate (간언) when the ruler errs. If the king ignores gentle advice, the subject must intensify the protest — even at risk to career or life. Silence in the face of injustice was considered disloyalty. Thus, far from being rude, dramatic protest was seen as the highest form of loyalty and virtue

Apropos of nothing, here's a little wisdom from the culture of one of the U.S.'s strongest and closest allies, South Korea:

Love yourself, regardless of your flaws. Nobody’s perfect is a cliche for a reason.

Just realized that there are a ton of unintentional Easter eggs in this photo. What can you find?

Cleaned up and made a new studio area in my living room.

New profile pic getting serious.

As much as I love my goth and industrial music, I’ve been going back to my rock roots since I’ve been playing the guitar more. I’ve forgotten how much I used to love that stuff before I got into the goth scene. Beyond that, I’m looking everywhere else I can for inspiration.
