Recorded this rendition of a song I wrote called “White Rabbit” 🐇 for a special someone on 8mm VHS at Old Union awhile back (a place where the depths of my soul always feels at peace). 🤍🪦🖤
FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT

Restless minds don’t sleep. Not sure what melancholy came over me today, but somewhere in it is direction. My Saturn Return is set to end soon, forcing integration. Naturally, I think about time. Who I was. Who I am. Who I’ll become. Whoever I was is set free, like a dream forgotten, its remnants preparing me only for what is... I welcome whatever is to come.

With the year closing, I woke up nostalgic as I embark on something I’ve been working toward for over a year—arguably my entire life—acting in and producing THE WHITE LINE HUSTLE. It’s funny how little I recognize who I was a year ago: short hair, scared eyes, holding up a book I’d written in the midst of losing everything. Not much changes, but I see it in myself—for better, for worse.
It’s hard to fit an entire year into this flash-in-the-pan format, but there’s been tears, love, drunken escapades, poems written to the wind, sacrifices, friends gained, movies made, bills paid, too many darts smoked under a lonely moon, a f$&@ ton of driving, and an almost total loss of identity—one I crouch beside, gaining warmth from the embers while conjuring a roar from the lion inside.
My life has been a lesson in becoming what you must to suck the marrow out of the full experience of living, while maintaining the truth that you can never really escape who you are. In this understanding, there is no man I would not break bread with, for I’ve come to know I will always be a Midwest poet, grown from the roots of a riverbank, by God-fearing Hoosiers who grew up hard—but free.
Freedom, truth, and constant growth will always be the goal. An artist’s creed.
The man I wish to be is never really out of sight, and most days are clouded by wasted potential, but I trust the final form is near. Cheers to all those who wish to stand by me in what is to come. May we find the courage to keep our hearts open to one another and step further into divine knowing. May the stars always remind us that we come from more, and that all we carry is truth.
11•21•25 … “Are you going to cowboy up or just lay there and bleed?”
currently prepping for my role in the @blackmassllc production THE WHITE LINE HUSTLE! time to lock in!
I needed new headshots, so I took & made some myself. I definitely recommend hiring a professional, but when in #indiana I guess 🤷🏼♂️… Anyway, IDK, cast me in your movie. That would be cool. That would make you cool, because these are pretty cool, and that’s cool. Probably because I took them with my mom’s camera, which is cool…cool… cool… right? Oh, yeah, peace! ✌🏻 🕷️🪐… 🆒‼️‼️❕⚠️ … #actor

Not much to say. A lot to feel. Life has been so expansive yet the inward journey is met with moments of remembrance that ask me to face my shadow. These last 5+ months have been a total exploration of those things that tormented the child inside. This has been both forced and willing. Healing is a life long journey. Today I finally feel like I’m enough. Maybe one day I will be enough to someone else. But then again, poets cry, and then they die.
I just wrote this song. Honestly I don’t know what I call it. “Flow” maybe. It’s just how I feel. Enjoy.
