They threw me a whirlwind,
And I spat back the sea.
I took a battering but I’ve got thicker skin,
And the best people I know are looking out for me.-Frank Turner, “Get Better”
Based in Southeastern North Carolina, this blog is a space that I intend to use to as a creative outlet to work through some of the stuff that I have gone through since the death of my mother in March 2023.
Some quick facts about me:
- my favorite thing in the world is going to see live music – shout out to all the bands that have gotten me through the worst year and a half of my life. I dabble in all genres (except country) but my absolute favorite is punk rock and there is no place that i feel more at home than on the barricade in the pit at a show.
“Standing by the speakers I somehow feel alright” – Jesse Malin, “Meet Me at the End of the World”
- Sneakerhead. Retro Jordans are my favorite but I also love old SBs and anything else that either provides nostalgia or catches my eye with a crazy colorway
- Sports Addict. Mainly basketball, but, I will watch pretty much any live sporting event on tv and Wrigley Field is my favorite place on the planet.
- Dog person. I like dogs more than (most) humans and am the person to a senior named Sherlock who has gotten me through the worst years of my life.
