Always making
First of all, Happy New Year! I watched the ball drop on tv with the family. Did not care for the music , so I popped on some. Calypso music. Found an old record of Black Stallion from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹.
Ate some Tamoles, black eyed peas and greens with a little cornbread. I almost had champagne but my feet started to hurt so I calmed it down. (Blood sugar spike sign)
I hope this year is beautiful for us.

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?
Hola Galeras,
So this question is an easy one for me. My studio exists. But, if I could make it perfect? I would buy a huge shipping container and deck it out. Lights, grid walls and lots of running long tables with bar stools as stations.
A spot in a bit of land near our home. Heated with a toilet inside as well as a dump sink.
So a few ideas I guess.
I can not express to you that I feel. Packing up the studio yard salon actually. It’s a movie don’t want. It’s a movie. We don’t have a choice about. And I don’t know that I’m ever going to have a studio that feels so at home even in a new home down the road. We’re being forced to sell our place because we can no longer afford the huge increase that they recently put on us of a extra thousand dollars a month. Nothing about this feels good. It feels hard and fearful and awful. I generally don’t have any hope.
I just feel very deflated and incomplete. I just stuffed my entire life‘s work and into a Bike box. At least it’s really heavy.
Eat the rich.
My mind is like my desk. Full of ink.
Hola Galeras,
This year has been a lot and I promised myself I would make a new shirt.

Pick up one today.
This country is crazy but we are in this together. I will be here for you. We are in this moment together.
I hope you enjoyed today. For me it’s a special time of year. It’s the Day of the Dead. We celebrate our pasted loved ones on today.
I miss all of them but I know they are in good places.
Every few years, I always say clean your brushes. I spent years without cleaning my brushes sometimes, and some my favorite brushes are no more. It broke my heart, but I did it to myself and so get some brush soap clean your brushes you’ll be happier.
I have a few I need to clean always.
Coco Beware was a pro wrestler in the 80’s when I was a little boy. He was one of the first Black wrestlers I ever saw. he was very charismatic and extremely skilled at story telling.
He used to come to the ring with a bird from the Caribbean.
My friends are made up of the cool people you see in the streets with tattoos. One of my cool friends is a tattoo artist at a tattoo shop. He designed a bunch of old wrestling tattoos. I am his first wrestling tattoo this year. It’s simple and a foot note of my childhood.
Hola Galeras,
I had some time this morning so I shot a video.
