Been A Long Time Since I Rock and Rolled
Look!
My Site is Back!
I haven't written in my blog for over a year, but now it's taking shape. Many new features and tweaks still need to be applied, but it actually looks like a site again!
I've started a new hashtag on social media - #whereinthebuffislivinginthebuff
Yeah, it's a long one, but it feels right with as much as I do and as many events that I cover! So look for that hashtag on Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr!
And enjoy this music while you check out the new look and feel Living In The Buff!
Stone Ground
Lying on a bed of slate and stone
Spirit empty, for love unknown
Broken hearts mend slower than bone
Flesh stings from wounds not sewn
Body lacking both hearth and home
Something... Rome? Nome? Garden Gnome?
...and shit, now I've got nothing.
Sometimes my poems happen that way. I have such grandiose plans to make them something special, something emotionally challenging and stirring. Something that will take the reader's breath away. Then I lose my train of thought, and get lost in the words of others usually. It's different now than in the days when I would focus on music I can feel, the mind blanking white noise of jet engines and the body numbing release of drinking until I had my fill.
And here these words sit. Idle. Not moving. Not moving anything or anyone.
Maybe they should sit on their own. Maybe they need some accompaniment.
A photo? More verses? A quote that can give them balance?
If this was a piece of paper I would probably just spill some coffee on it for character...
Oh, and in case you missed it "Ground" in the title is a verb, past-tense. Not a noun.
Just clarifying.
What?
Where did sushibandit.com go?
I loved that blog... dammit.
The World According to the Buff
I realized a few weeks ago after reading some other blogs, I was missing a great opportunity. I didn't think I had the material I needed to be able to blog on a consistent basis. But I had been failing to consider my photography.
I have thousands upon thousands of photos from traveling and just living life. Things that aren't exactly portfolio worthy, but all together, they tell a story.
Are you ready for this? Just with my past photography alone I can blog endlessly, every day, for the next 5 years.
It will be relentless.
A life amazing
…Buffalo has been a wonderful place to call home. The wealth of natural beauty here, the easy access to an international border and the history of this region are compelling.
