I’m an artist, not a fighter. But in junior high and high school, American football was everything to me. In junior high, I legitimately thought I was going to make the NFL. Around my sophomore year of high school, I realized it was a pipe dream and went into a

Struggling with depression checklist
Contrary to popular opinion, most depression is treatable. Of course you don’t hear about that because for one, a lot of people, including the super strong drug company lobby would lose a shitload of money. And for another, you’ve already heard my rant about how the media profits off your

Men – don’t ever lose your frame
I could tell you the exact moment the one who got away got away. I lost my frame once, and it was enough that it was over. We dragged it out longer than we should have but I knew I had lost her. I was really good at manipulating girls

You get the face you deserve
I was taking my dog for a walk. An older lady, had to be in her 60s, walked by swiftly carrying a shopping bag. She was beautiful. No, not in a sexual way, but in a different way. Her face had wrinkles, but they were all in the right direction.

By no means perfect
I’m by no means perfect. Heck, artist should already be a red flag. Sane artist is an oxymoron. We’re all a bit nuts. Just some more than others. Last night, I killed half a bottle of whiskey. It’s fantastic whiskey, Nikka coffee grain whisky, one of my favorites and quite

Why Bob Ross is one of my heroes
Are you a Bob Ross fan? I am. Big time. Not just for his painting lessons. But also his mindset. You ever see Bob Ross freak out? Heck, if the zombie invasion started, he would have just kept painting. Chill AF. In a zone. He’d even take his mistakes and
