Human Disaster, Part 1: Trajectory

I’ve been working intermittently for awhile on a collection of stories about my life and the stories behind some of my songs to possibly…

I’ve decided to start posting some stories about my life, music & touring over at Medium.  The first is a story about touring with Adam WarRock, Tribe One & Jesse Dangerously on the NOFRIENDS tour of 2012.

Belief

LinkedIn sent me this great article on the history of workplace clichés. The writer includes what the cliché means and then what it really means, such as:

“Brainstorming” What it means: A free-for-all group meeting that encourages spontaneous, creative ideas.

What it really means: A free-for-all group meeting where ideas are generated and then summarized in a lengthy memo that is never seen again.

Job Hunt Week #8:

Job Hunt Week #8:

This week’s post is a day late because yesterday I met with a career counselor, a financial planner and ran ALL the errands ’cause I don’t get into the big town as much as I used to.

Dim light from a drizzly day is making me feel a bit sleepy, so I’m going to go heat up this coffee and then we’ll get started. Sound good?

Job Hunt Week #7: In which our hero survives being social

Job Hunt Week #7: In which our hero survives being social

No matter how much I do, at the end of each job hunting week I feel like I haven’t done enough. Like I’ve been lazy and bad and done things wrong.

That’s why I started this blog: to force me to pay attention to what I HAVE done. Last week I managed to make some progress and be social without burning myself out. I count that as a success. Well, it’s not nothin’.

So, let’s get started, shall we?

Because sometimes what you needs most is a video (and photos and gifs) of newborn baby goats wearing sweaters. This awesomely adorable trio of Nigerian Dwarf goats (triplets!) were recently born at Sunflower Farm in Cumberland Center, Maine and were dressed in tiny custom-knit sweaters to help keep them warm when the weather turns chilly:

This is the piece I painted for the Critical Role 50th episode art gallery! AKA the glorious Holy Bag of Dicks moment from my favorite arc (so far). Definitely do check out the gallery if you get a chance – I’m crazy lucky to be featured along with so many other amazing artists, all their work is phenomenal. Happy 50th!

every time Nietzsche’s “god is dead” thing is mentioned all i can think of is that meme

nietzsche: god is dead

god: no im not

nietzsche: sometimes i can still hear his voice

Job Hunt Week #6: In which our hero loses internet access for a bit and has low energy but still gets some things done

Still with the allergies. At least that’s what I’m blaming the sleepiness on. Or maybe it’s the insomnia I’ve had off and on since I was seven.

So, let me try to raise the mood a bit with a shout-out to another job seeker. I bring you:

What a title, right?! She’s an “unemployed creative type” and to combat the ick that is over 10 months of job searching…
