mom’s spaghetti, he’s nervous

Ahhhh i love Detroit. 

It’s affordable, weed is legal, and she’s got a great food and music scene.

There’s a loft I like to rent, where I can enjoy my pot treasures with my tunes playing, and I stare out at the city. Read More

the oak tree and the cypress grow

I flew into Phoenix, and floored it to the Grand Canyon just in time for sunset. Once the sun checked out, I continued north towards Utah.

I had the (almost) full moon shining through the pines to my left and small controlled fires to my right.
