Basecamp: 313

I'm an adventurer, explore, & gamer. Aficionado of epic facial hair, graffiti, & tattoos. I'm a storm chaser, ghost hunter, & stargazer! I love spicy cuisines, craft beer, rum cocktails, & shooting exotic vistas through my lenses. To the crazy free thinkers, dreamers, psychos, schizos, anti-socialites, those who work against the grain, the quixotic, neurotic, and those who're just plain odd... welcome to my world!

Watching the @detroitlionsnfl win their last home game of the season is becoming a tradition for us. Loved to share it with our friends, even if some of them were rooting for the other team 🧡🐻🏈🦁💙 #bearsvslions🏈 #bitingkneecaps #brandnewlions #defendtheden #detroitvseverybody #grit #onepride #latergram (at Ford Field) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9cmrprf5Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well, my top 9 isn't very impressive since I only made 18 posts this year. Going to make a point to get out and shoot more street art, murals, and graffiti in 2023. Maybe add a little graffiti to myself too! #newyearsresolution #topnine2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmw6hhZP_qr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Musk’s egomania drove him to buy and inevitably ruin Twitter because he hoped to transform it into X, his totalitarian “everything app” WeChat clone he wanted to send us to space with. But there is another, simpler narrative here. A man who grew up in apartheid South Africa, whose family owned a diamond mine, who made his name helping cyberlibertarians bypass banking laws, manipulating the US tax system to build faulty self-driving cars, and shooting rockets into space in the hopes of establishing debt slavery on Mars, bought an app built by activists and Black Americans, and that is relied on by the Global South as a valuable democratic tool, and is used by journalists around the world as a free and open source of information, and tried to turn it into his personal country club. This is just the mundane nightmare of watching a wealthy man wreck his new plaything — an imperfect, but vital communication system for some of the most vulnerable and marginalized communities in the world. This is a colonialist doing what colonialists do. And I hope that when this embarrassing circus is over, we can figure out how to build something back that someone like Musk can’t turn into his new diamond mine.”

Watching an oldie but goodie tonight, Stargate. Forgot that Djimon Hansou is in this, only billed as Djimon. Plus next to Big Trouble in Little China, Tombstone, & the Escape from series this is one of my favorite Kurt Russell films.

So if Twitter goes tweets up this weekend I better start learning to post here again.

So I spent this week at emergency response training for work meaning I had to shave my beard off for the first time since the pandemic started. Too bad I couldn't have let it grow out that entire time, but I never got to wfh. Security being an essential job and my facility also being vital too keeping supply chains running meant I've been going in everyday. Sigh.

Spent the afternoon getting out of the house picking some lavender and Black-Eyed Susans. As soon as we got to the edge of the field you could smell the flowers. Not overpowering like an essential oil shop, but warm, subtle, and lovely. #puremichigan #busybees🐝 #summerdays🌞 (at Indigo Lavender Farms) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDE2-LyDn3I/?igshid=1dbcy9ej90h66

Tonight's dinner whipped up by my amazing bride @sra.fernandez807 is deconstructed bacon cheese burgers (so Gouda), cauliflower "potato" salad, almond green beans, and roasted cauliflower & bacon.

Before we may #HailZombo once more we must endure #theSlumbering. Might just have to attend the gala one weekend and the main event the next in 2021. 🖤💀🖤 (at Theatre Bizarre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAZXEGHjRgt/?igshid=1mfb3wplcrxlt
