Goodbyes are Difficult
Goodbyes are Difficult...
As I sit at my computer desk, in a new apartment, in a new city, in a new state, I can taste the flavor of the last cigarette I smoked on the tip of my tongue. Just as easily as I can feel the streching of my lungs as I sit once more, in my mind, at the end of a long table filled with friends I love dearly and people who I will never forget. We laugh like that a lot. So much, that I take it for…

Gone in Vapor
Thank you, for coming and reading through this March. I was waylaid by life a bit towards the end, but I’ve still got all of those pieces and will be releasing them over the course of the year. I hope you’ve enjoyed thus far and continue to enjoy in the future. You are a blessing to me, and I can’t tell you how much it means that you’re here. Thank you, and Happy Birthday. -AT I spent hours…

Quarterly Update: Water
This first quarter of 2021 has been… insane? With the pandemic still going on, and recent lifestyle changes having taken place I’ve found myself in the unique position to (more or less) work on my projects without worry of paying bills and feeding ourselves, thanks 1005 to my incredible wife for supporting us and encouraging me to do what I love as much as I can. That being said, this is the…

Broken Shackles +
“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”Galatians 5:13 ESV I am grateful that I have met the men and women in the faith that I have. I have been extraordinarily lucky to know the vast number of strong-willed, good-hearted people that I have. Especially those who don’t share my faith. I cannot say…

Breaking of the Noose
Breaking of the Noose
Idealism is a fundamental part of who I am. By that, I mean that I take no small amount of pride in believing that the world operates (or should operate) a particular way and everything would work out just fine if everyone could conform to that idea. We’d have no debt, no sorrow, and no fear of the future. We would have no noose by which to hang ourselves which, incidentally, is how I view the…

The End of a Life
The End of a Life: A story about death, and breakfast.
“We have two lives, the second begins when we realize we only have one.”Confucius I have spent the grand majority of my life clinging to the proposal of finality. That there is this grand idea that exists somewhere in the stratosphere and if I can only grasp it for a moment, I can find freedom and happiness in my day-to-day. I obsess over the future and what is to come, what is to be. Yet it…

Everybody Needs a Door
Everybody Needs a Door
This week, the theme is Courage, and more specifically, Responsibility. Perhaps we are more than we think we were. I :: Courage I think there are a lot of things that I could have phrased so much better. Over the years, I have written candidly about the people in my life and pretended that I have been building some kind of an empire but the truth of it is that I do this because it is the only…

The Champion +
“Good afternoon everyone, this is your First Officer speaking and uh, it’s a beautiful day for flying. There’s a few clouds in the distance but uh… we will be climbing above them very quickly. The Captain will be speaking to you periodically, we are first in line for takeoff, and uh… it’s great to have you with us. Thank you.” Few things are as priceless to me as the ability to listen to music.…

The First Thing I Forgot
The First Thing I Forgot
I find myself oftentimes overwhelmed by the simplicities of life. When all the responsibilities and callings of the day to day pile up inside my home and I see dishes that need to be done, laundry that needs to be cleaned, a broken washer, and a mountain of garbage by my door I think to myself “how did I do it all before?” Recently I was relaxing with my wife and we were talking about how much…

A Rose For Each of Them
A Rose For Each of Them
A lifetime of wealth can be summed up into two words: Good Friends. I’ve written before a handful of times about the nature of my group of friends. Yet, I am constantly reminded that the situation I have been blessed with is unique and too terribly uncommon. Last year was another thrumming reminder in my heart that I don’t deserve the men and women I have been blessed with. Across the board, I…

City of Spirits
City of Spirits - What lives inside of your mind?
A good man died today. A good one died the day before. A good one died the week before then. Yet, despite the frequency, we look at the world and see the pain of death is as real as ever before, despite the heartbreak, despite the sudden and unbreakable fang that hunts us all we look and see no change. We see the world before us, unchanged. And how? How can it be unchanged when we’ve lost so…

Shoulders of Goodness +
Shoulders of Goodness + A new year is here. What should we do? What shouldn't we?
There are an uncountable infinity of things that I know I need to do. I decided that, despite the difficulties I struggled with over the course of 2020 that I would not go into the new year with this restructured sense of identity and purpose without first one-upping the day in and day out strife that I have been promised, so I ended up losing my job. With the long dark days of 2020 behind me, I…

The Year of the Lion
The Year of the Lion
For the last two years, I’ve been going into New Years Day with a “Theme” of sorts, back when I did my first Lifeis+ campaign, I released a bunch of photos in a big project and among those photos were the first four laws that I try to live my life by. They’ve changed and tweaked themselves over the years, but have more or less remained functionally the same. They are the core values that I set my…

Promised in Blood
What a year… 2020 hit us all I think where we least expected it, and it hit hard. I think I’ve come across more people this year that are just tired of the daily grind than ever before. A few of my friends haven’t had jobs since March/April and others are working in jobs that are now paying way less than the ones they’d had before the pandemic because of shutdowns etc. We carved a swath of…

Above the Spire +
Above the Spire +
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my faith, and how my faith impacts those around me. Especially with the events of 2020 and the fallout from the election and otherwise emotionally charged year we’ve had in the US. I think we’ve gotten ourselves into trouble. In my camp, I had to deal with putting our regular fires over lines of political thought that had been taken to extremes. This year we…

Laudanum & Lye
Laudanum & Lye - Hope & A Clean Toilet
I’ll be the first to admit it, I’m a mess. I mean that in the literal sense, but I’m a mess pretty much everywhere else too. But the core of my mess comes in how I live. I am cluttered, and I hate to clean up. So I’d just as soon leave dirty dishes and boxes of magic cards and hell, even Christmas Presents out in the open and unwrapped. My clutter has gotten me in trouble more than once this…

Former Things: An Account of Christianity in Chaos
Former Things: An Account of Christianity in Chaos
Post published as written: September 21, 2020 ��Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”Philippians 4:6-7 ESV This year has been nothing short of chaos. The rumors of war, the recent light…
