Let’s just drown in it today for this episode. It’s an overwhelming feeling this week. I don’t know what happened, but I just woke up today and nearly cracked.

Episode #30 Squinting Creativity: As I Do An About Face 16:14

2y ago16:14

16:14

Over the years since graduating university I thought being successful as an artist would just happen; that it would just fall in my lap. I think things like that only happen to the really wealthy people out there. Going to school for art was sort of an Alice in Wonderland kind of experiences in some ways; I was able to spend excessive amounts of ti…

17:29

I have leaned on those first two words to becoming my focus as an artist, as a thinker, and how I see the world around me - I am always attempting to abstract the nature I see around me.

This monumental arrangement of massive stones in Wales is how I sometimes saw Jude. How he carried himself, his strong, secure, and unmoving persona in his values, beliefs, and work ethic; has shown me how important he is in my life, and how I have taken him for granted for too long. His family are great to, similar to those ancient stones that sta…

This is a repurposing of the word noose: It has been a difficult two years but I know that in the face of trauma most of us can shine brighter because we see how fragile life really is.

Episode #20 Crack Addict Pity 16:10

2+ y ago16:10

16:10

This is how I saw it back then. Or at least I thought I did. I was inviting danger into our perfectly set up flat in the Gay village. I mean it wasn’t perfect as one window didn’t have a screen and the bathtub was pink, but it was really big with a great layout. It over looked Church Street the hub of the gay community in downtown Toronto, Canada. …

3y ago16:59

16:59

There is a lot to be said about Memory, Friends and Ego. How does memory get into a landslide? How do friends show value with reciprocity? I didn't think the friends that I had helped me get to the trajectory that got me to where I am. As I think some of us are aware that we always want what we don't have. Moving too much, diverting from friendship…

3y ago16:38

16:38

Being tripped up by disorder while going to university, I didn't see it that way at all. This aside my faculty was organizing a trip to the Big Apple and for some reason I though it was a good idea to go.

I was a mess back then, the demands of school, managing my condition, and trying to find where I fit, in the big city socially and economically.

Episode #17 Trauma Text: Shivering On The Inside 16:15

3y ago16:15

16:15

This took some time to process, because a toxic person from my past contacted me via Messenger - who knew they could get through even when they're blocked.

Collecting these traumas like wreckage from an accident or a fire, while being distracted by adolescent angst. I wasn't aware as I experienced them.

When I was quite young I fell hard for Bowie. His Space Oddity spoke to me, it seemed directly. Feeling alone in outer space. 'Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.
