pure heaviosity


my grandmother passed away on friday morning...
i was a pallbearer with my brother and 4 cousins.
spent the weekend surrounded by religion and death talks.
this morning i proposed to my mother the following:

if there was a god and i was sent to hell then wouldn't satan be on my side? wouldn't he be like "high five you non-believer"?

nonetheless it was heavy weekend.
got to eat lots of egg salad triangle sandwiches though.
i wish i could've recorded her before she passed away.
i chose this picture because she was an amazing pianist and a very faithful member of the Catholic church.
r.i.p. grandma.

3 days till holidays.
mountains.
music.

today, and then tomorrow


saw some weird things on my lunch walk.

-a girl eating hot dogs out of a ziploc bag. just walking around, totally normal, eating raw hot dogs from a bag.

-a little boy on a leash. this is the second kid this week i've seen with a leash on. is this new? it's terribly confusing to me.

then i ate chili with a cheese bun and walked around town listening to an old playlist i made for a friend. it was sentimentally nice. three songs in a row were perfect and although i'd heard them many times before they were still heavy. anyways, it's nice to be comfortable in these feelings.

now i'm thinking about how cool it would be to be a young composer travelling the world and performing in large theatres. i would wear fancy suits and probably have messy hair.

more trumpets!!!!

my life is now built upon wheels which means i'm always moving on.

i started skating again.
it feels really good right
now.
i'm sure i'll break my wrist soon.
have mostly been doing parking lot rips but had a really good skate at the university earlier this week.
no security to speak of.
seems strange to be 27 and looking over your shoulder for security guards, that are probably a few years younger then me too.
seems strange to be skating at 27.
seems good.

really excited about this:
