This morning, I woke up in Salem, OR. I woke up late and high tailed it back to Washington to catch a going away party for some dear friends who are moving away to a small, art community of a town on the other side of the mountains…I barely made it, but I made it, and I’m glad. I work so hard and I don’t really complain about it ya know, because I choose my life. I enjoy staying up late into the early parts of the morning and sleeping until 10:30, 11am. But I about lost it today. There’s… Continue Reading →

The number one question people ask me is when do I sleep? The best answer would be when my mind is at ease or when I pass out from sheer exhaustion. Exhaustion more often than the other. I’ve been transferring footage from all of my drives onto the giant 4TB beast Tika got me for my birthday so I have enough room to film the European tour. Bob is paying me to make a dvd of the trip. I’m excited. 🙂 So many things to do, and never enough hours in the day. I picked up my buddy James from… Continue Reading →

I woke up about 12 hours ago, looked at my clock and groaned…I really hate waking up so late in the afternoon when I have a ton of stuff on my plate. Starting out so late in the afternoon makes me feel like my day is a wash. When I opened my eyes again, it was almost 1:30pm…so I rolled out of bed and took a shower. My brain is processing a lot at the moment, but I can’t say that’s anything that’s really new. Being home is nice, because it’s like, oh yeah…this is what it’s like to have… Continue Reading →

…and then some. I have been home for about roughly 4 days now, and I leave again in about 5. I’ve been sleeping 8 hours a night since I got home, but I am still exhausted. People keep asking me how the tour was…it’s hard to say, it’s kind of like when people used to ask me what married life was like back when Dan and I were still newly weds. If I could sum up tour into one word, it would be EMOTIONAL. I sat with Dan, showing him some highlights that I had filmed. While I haven’t been… Continue Reading →

Life belongs to the doers of dreams. I believe that. I am so fucking exhausted and this cold is kicking my ass. Long hours of driving with little to no sleep, on top of being sick…honestly it sucks right now in this moment. I can’t stop coughing; body aches are taking a strong hold on my muscles, and I’m still fighting a migraine behind my right eye. So anyway, enough with the bitching…I have a lot to be grateful for, and this tour has been fucking amazing. A lot of wonderful friends made, a lot of older contacts coming through… Continue Reading →

Today, I woke up in Lexington, KY, on John Howard’s couch. This is where the nerdy fan girl in me really shines through. John Howard is the creator of my favorite comic book Heroine, an unnamed bad ass that lives life on two wheels, traveling around to the scuzziest of places, fucking and fighting her way through life. No matter what fucked up situation she gets in, she lives to ride another day, taking everything with a grain of salt. I loved her since the first day I discovered her in a smoke shop at 16 years old. I wake… Continue Reading →

Around 5am, I dropped Jeff off at a Greyhound station today. There’s nothing really else to say. Now it’s just me and Pammy with 8 days left to go. We all make our choices in life, and this morning I made mine. It’s been hard to wear my smile the last couple of weeks, and we’re not compatible for the road. So…here we go, 8 days…3 shows, maybe 4, and whatever I can pick up along the way…Tacoma is 2500 miles away, and I have about $200 in my pocket. I’m sitting at Stone Tavern in Kent, OH, enjoying the… Continue Reading →

What gives you the right To piss on my parade The jealous eyes and anxious thoughts Do nothing for you As you sit and stew, chomp and chew On the negativity that floods your mind You do more damage to yourself Than I think you realize I am a ray sun, a light of hope A child exploring the world I can find joy in a blade of grass This does not mean I am not tired or that my bones do not creak and crack My heart, it hurts Still I push on despite the clouds that cover Or… Continue Reading →
