before this summer james and cogitavi were aware of each other, but they never really broke the ice. cogitavi and i have been besties for a while, but after I heard james's music i knew i wanted to meet

Hey Steemit, this part of an artsy rant series that one of my musician friends and I put together. We've already finished the next one, but I just wanted to get a little bit more attention on this episode

Moving to California has been a fucking trip. Since I’ve been here I’ve been radically excited, terrified to the point of tears, and endlessly lost, but for the first time I feel like I’m building a future.

Tomorrow I'm boarding a flight for California. I won't be bringing my computer, instead I'll have it shipped out to me later. Due to that situation, I won't be online for a while, so I won't able to post

But despite the look, shes's a sweetheart. All she does to hurt is jump all over people, yet that's done out of love. She's a border collie mix, I forgot the other breed. Her name is Missi, as in Mississippi.

I have an anxiety disorder. A lot of us do. That's not what I'm talking about, but this applies to that too. Everyone experiences anxiety, everyone loses sleep because they're afraid, and everyone has

On August 9th my friends in /4$ released this sort of dreamy poppy piece which is more than halfway decent. I wouldn't suggest it for anyone over 25 most likely, but it's a charming track.

Yay, it's the weekend! Yay momentary release from the hell of the work week! Yay! Yay!!

You have like 20 things you should be doing right now. I do as well. We all do, it's the mark of the modern, a sort of hyper productivity mixed with a constant need for distraction when we're not working.

This is one of those days where it hurts to think too much, so I've collected a few of my favorite cloud shots that help me chill out.

I was orphaned at 18, which is a weird age because a lot of people expect you to be an adult, but of course you're still a kid. My parents weren't the nurturing kind, more the
