INVERSE VANDALISM

Create. Live. Evolve.

Moving Forward

I got to admit it's getting better, getting better all the time. I've been looking back to all of the unfortunate events that have occured in my life the past few years and it's all been cyclical. I've always been aware of this in the back of my mind and have broken trends only to slip into another pattern. I've let myself feel less than worthy and let the fear of failure bring me down when I've been moving forward the whole time! I'm doing great. No more angst. Nothing can stop me.
I just shaved my head and started over.


The burgurlary/purge of my residence a couple of months ago did me some good. I decided to move and change things up a bit. Since then, I feel lighter and great things have been falling into my lap. I've been getting lots of calls for concrete design work so I'm currently looking for a storefront where I can live above and run my business below. Here's a couple of pics from the last couple of jobs

AFTER:


I haven't been writing as much lately because I've been happy. Angst has been more inspiring to me over the years than happiness. That will change as I continue to realize myself. As soon as I get another laptop, I'll start recording tunes again. I really enjoyed writing songs and sharing them here and will be moving towards bigger projects in the near future. This is the first instrument in my new collection.

I finally got rid of the Wrecked White Whale and picked up my Mercedes 300 Turbo Diesel. It's time to start making biodiesel and taking road trips. I'm about to get it painted, so pictures are on the way in a couple of weeks.

No matter what happens along the pathways of my life, I am traveling towards my dreams. The universe is always working for us. We need only to stop holding ourselves back and let the current take us away. The water feels fine and the rapids ahead are nothing to be frightened of. It's a one way joy ride. Anyways, enough about me. Peace.

P.S. - It's currently snowing in NOLA. This sets the record for earliest snowfall ever here. The fact that it's actually SNOWING here is amazing; truly a gift from god. And it's all for me.

Good to hear about the turnaround that life has taken, Dillon.

You can't beat hitting a new high after striking bottom.

Dear friend,

I'm very happy for you. Know that I learn a lot from your what you write. Every time I read your posts I feel relaxed and I try to make my routine problems small (their actual importance).

Thanks a lot and congrats on the concrete work. Man, that looks sweet!!!
