I See You All the Time

In our everyday lives, we hardly take into account the specific details of our surroundings; when we wake up, where we drink our coffee, our routine drive to work. When we lose someone, those details suddenly reveal themselves as if they had been waving at us the whole time.

Drums vs. Sparklers

Burn it away. I just can’t see it.

Always there. Like a splinter.

Never subsiding. Only sinking. Deep into subconsciousness.

A dangerous place. Where all of my deepest fears collide and give way to new coping mechanisms. They teach me how to lie to myself and push the negatives aside.

And now there is nothing but joy.

But something is missing, as if I’m no longer myself. Like I’m only half of what I should be.

As if the spectrum of life suddenly became one color.

Maybe there’s more to life than goodness. Maybe evolution had all kinds of emotions in mind for proper functionality of our brains.

Many people claim to have the answer. Many people try their best to ignore. But life continually presents itself in all kinds of ways.

It’s when you fall off your bike, then start wearing a helmet.

– That’s what happens when you’re at the farm.

Riding groovy frequencies through Santa Cruz with Creatures Choir! Venue at…

…the Catalyst was mellow but the jams were ever so heavy; as expected, these boys get down to a unique sound. Plus, they do it well. The bandmates consist of Rory taking lead, Eli rippin’ the harp, Hank using his magic fingers to serenade a shiny 12 string, Adam slapping the bass, Brad slamming the drums and Nate providing the rhythm to keep it always extra groovy.

Mad Alchemy Liquid Light Show – https://www.madalchemy.net/ kept the set visually entertaining with a constantly moving and ever persistent hallucinogenic background. You can be sober, they induce a visual trip for you! All done by a few magic fingers spinning glass discs filled with watercolor on overhead projectors. Ya like the ones that hag of a teacher used to use in your 5th grade math class. Only these folks found a much better use for such resources. Spin on magic fingers, keep spinning… everyone’s got magic fingers here. Ladies beware.

After the show, the last one of the tour, the boys and I headed to Cory’s house for some late night celebrations and shenanigans with the band. Antics included writing on the walls, drinking till we fall, and smokin’ till… well we never choke! Best you know we did it all, and we did it well, for the memories. Finally at roughly 4am everyone passed out so naturally Eli and I, in spirit of the great whimsical Easy Rider, bolted out to the driveway to lie down on some comfy asphalt aside the Harley. Threw the wool blanket over, and lights out Santa Cruz! Sweet dreams under pine trees.

Cracks and holes in Victorian walls
Pink noises coming from above and all around
The scent of stale chips and old spinach
Don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m keeping my head down
