Having a good laugh at my own expense, or maybe yours. Experimenting with music and sounds. Listening to live music. Climbing onto the rooftops of old warehouses. Climbing up hills. Playing in creek beds. Listening to trains. Watching things grow. reading. I mostly enjoy making things (art) out of whatever. Spending all of my time and money at local businesses. Eating fresh foods grown close to home. Watching fire.
The people who know the people I know, people. People who want to know me. People of interest. Lucky so far... Real lucky
