It’s fall. The days are shortening, the air is crispening, the colors are morphing, the leaves are falling. There is a palpable and present sense of transformation amongst us. Fall and its energy of change often inspires reflection. Many choose to pause and consider the patterns and habits of daily life and how they alignContinue reading “Big Reflections”

We Don’t Choose Our Feelings
I loved Grandma. When I first learned she died, I paused for a moment to reflect on the situation. I thought about my dad and wondered how he was feeling, knowing he just lost his mother. I’ll admit though, I wasn’t particularly sad. She was 91. The last several years of her life had beenContinue reading “We Don’t Choose Our Feelings”
Franny
There once was a band. Its name was Squish Rat. It was radical. It was unstoppable. But then it got stopped. By what? Good question. Too much talent? Definitely not. It was something other than that, but we’ll likely never know the actual answer. The song I’m about to share is like a charred andContinue reading “Franny”
Tryptamine
DMT is a helluva drug. Here’s an ode to wildest psychedelic out there. This one’s also a bit more introspective, emotional, and dare I say, serious, than the other songs I’ve uploaded. On the note of DMT, here is my semi-annual request to all my friends out there who might have access to some things:Continue reading “Tryptamine”
I Have A Problem With Math
It’s true, I do. Not a math problem, though. I’ve already solved this particular math problem. The solution was never in doubt. I’m also not saying that I struggle with math. I get by just fine with my mathing, thank you very much. What I’m saying is, I have a grievance with the subject ofContinue reading “I Have A Problem With Math”
Oops, I did it again
Ah man, for real? More music? Again, I’m sorry, but quit whining, and just giv ‘er a listen. This next track is very different from the last track I uploaded. Dare I say, it’s more in line with the soul feel of Yolo69420.blog, meaning it’s highly immature and sassy as hell. Backstory- basically, I tookContinue reading “Oops, I did it again”
Sorry, I Wrote More Music
I know, I know. Not what the readership is looking for in this blog, but I did, and now I’m obliged to share it. My apologies. It will definitely happen again though… So this is a tune I almost entirely wrote with the electronic piano preset on my keyboard. I had no agenda when IContinue reading “Sorry, I Wrote More Music”
The Mother of All Endurance
Merriam Webster defines endurance as “the ability to withstand hardship or adversity.” It’s a wonderfully nonspecific definition, implying there are endless forms of endurance. Inspired by my wife’s recent birthday, I’d like to speak of a remarkable form of endurance I regularly witness from her and other moms. Dare I say, I’m pretty fit, andContinue reading “The Mother of All Endurance”
Don’t Alpha The Goose
I encountered a goose this morning. While still at a distance, but approaching its feathery ass, I could tell this thing was belligerent. The way it was postured 10 feet up on the retaining wall, standing at the edge, and overlooking its parking lot kingdom, I could sense that this bird was aggro. I thinkContinue reading “Don’t Alpha The Goose”
London Rain
Now it’s raining in London. Well, I don’t actually know that. But it probably is. Because London is a wet-ass place. It’s always raining up in them parts. In actuality, I’m quoting a song lyric from my latest track that I’m posting here, titled “London Rain.” What a name. Evocative. Provocative. Moody… Yes ma’am. InContinue reading “London Rain”
Politics: I’m Confused
If forced to summarize my take on our current political climate, it’s the following two words: I’m confused. Now, while I walk around at a baseline level of confusion, sometimes forgetting to breathe in air, or blink, or deliver food to the correct bodily orifice for proper delivery of nutrition, I have never been moreContinue reading “Politics: I’m Confused”
I Ain’t Your Friend
Not you of course, reader. You indeed are my friend. If you can stomach this blog and come back for more, I have nothing but love for you. But there are probably some other bitches out there who ain’t my friends. So I wrote a song for them. It’s called “I Ain’t Your Friend.” GoContinue reading “I Ain’t Your Friend”
Be F#%$ing Nicer
It is an act of niceness to censor the blog title, because I don’t want to offend any innocent cybercitizen pleasantly perusing the internet with such harsh language. Believe it or not, but in this very moment, I’m trying to be nicer. Fucking nicer. That’s a phrase I need to utter to myself daily: BeContinue reading “Be F#%$ing Nicer”
Goodbye Beanz
They say we kill what we love. I don’t have a damn clue who said that. I’m also not entirely sure that’s a well-known quote or saying, but I think it is, and I will not resort to Google to fact-check myself. Until recently, I didn’t even know what this allegedly popular saying meant. ButContinue reading “Goodbye Beanz”
Holiday Gratitude and a Christmas Song
This is going to be a bit strange.. Unlike the typical content circulated here, today’s post will be a semi-thoughtful, borderline mature, and possibly self-reflective blog post. Not the norm. Is something wrong with me? No, it’s just Christmas, and now’s the time of year to do this kinda shit, so let’s get it overContinue reading “Holiday Gratitude and a Christmas Song”
My Father-In-Law’s Downstairs Bathroom
I would like to take a few brief minutes to discuss my father-in-law’s downstairs bathroom. It’s a place that has always puzzled and fascinated me. Over the 11 years I have pilgrimaged to that special place to leave my bio-organic offerings, there have been several changes I’ve noticed, as well as other conditions that stubbornlyContinue reading “My Father-In-Law’s Downstairs Bathroom”
The worst question ever asked
I remain haunted by a question. After years and years, it still occasionally bubbles up into the perimeters of my conscious mind and makes me shudder. For I still don’t have a good answer. There is no good or right answer. There is no winning. There is only losing. There are only wrong answers…. MyContinue reading “The worst question ever asked”
Vain(Vein) Motivation
Hi good people, I did a full-body manscape session recently, and I have some words about the experience. I did the works. The whole body hath been shaven. Trimmed the head hair. Shaved the face hair. Clipped the nose hair. Plucked the brow hair. Trimmed the ball hair. Considered thinning the chest hair, then thought,Continue reading “Vain(Vein) Motivation”
