Yeah, it’s been awhile yet again. Different reasons this time though. It’s because it’s summer here in Dallas and it is fucking HOT! Like, hotter than the Devil’s asshole the day after he won a Texas chili eating competition. I’m saying miserable, knock you down, burn you up, and leave you crispy on the pavement […]

Reflecting on a chapter of my life spent living on the streets of North Texas. Here’s a handful of photos from last year when I was outdoors in Denton, TX. It’s a pretty cool little city with a decent homeless community. I met some good people there but, I returned to North Dallas as my

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? ~ Stephen Levine A personal reflection on the power of unexpected friendship, learning from regret, and a man who believed in me when I hit
“It was on the streets of Dallas that I learned how to drop my guard and truly care for others. I loved greatly and was greatly loved by my adopted family, dysfunctional as it often was.”
You know… In writing my story – 18 months worth of my story at least – I’ve had to constantly examine my motivations in order to tell it proper like and one thing I’ve learned; It truly is “All About Her.” Enjoy,
