America and the Cult of the Razzle Dazzle Sky: A Diagnostic.

In 2022, after the publication of the novel America and the Cult of the Cactus Boots: A Diagnostic, a terrific literary journal/ book called The Holon Project, publishing several volumes of work, this one in particular Vol. 3, each edition compiling the short works of multiple different underground/ independent/ experimental authors/poets/artists, published a piece that I wrote and Jeff illustrated titled: Pen Pal #44, that was one of hundreds of fictional pieces of “fan mail,” that we proposed that Jeff had been writing to actor Erik Estrada, a colossal creative talent, as well as a gentleman, known for many incredible works, including, his inspiring performances on the hit feature television show CHIPs, airing on NBC for 6 seasons, running from September 15, 1977 to May 1, 1983, today we had the honor of meeting Erik to bring our “fiction,” to “real-life,” and we presented him with a copy of the book (the authentic Pen Pal #1) that we signed for him to add to his library, as well as gave him several posters of Jeff’s illustration, and Erik was kind enough to sign one copy of our piece in a book for me, and one book that he signed for Jeff that we will forever cherish, now archived in our libraries!

First camp of the season. Super chill, no drama, gorgeous weather, new camp meals like birria tacos and chicken tikka naantos and pretty amazing company.

About a month ago I had the chance to go to Wisconsin with the @cultofthecactusboots crew to meet inspiration David Lee Miller. In a little over 48 hours I spent time with a brilliant man, discovered the best convenience store ever, ate some amazing food, spent time in absolute silence in a Buddhist Temple and bonded with some beyond creative people and further formed metaparadigmatic synchronicities.

A grandiose metaparadigmatic synchronicity in the Cactiverse. Today we had the profound honor of meeting and spending time with philosopher/scholar/author of Philosophy of Creativity and character in America and the Cult of the Cactus Boots: A Diagnostic. In the book it was a huge part of the quest for the characters to find and meet David Miller, today we did. We also all worked very hard to help bring his book back into print with thanks and love to Rick Harsch. This moment is hard to describe but it is profound and powerful. Explore, follow, create, and fulfill your dreams. This is a new possible world.

In honor of our pilgrimage to Wisconsin today to meet David Miller, the Philosopher of Creativity, The High Priest of Metaphysics and Philosophy in the book, Jeff designed a one-of-a-kind Wisconsin edition of our Make America Read Again sticker to post all over La Crosse as we enter the center of the tesseract, this time “for real.”

Happy almost 2022.
I plan to make a lot more memories with people I really fucking love & adore (not all are pictured - these were just a few highlights) while also focusing on my health (both mental & physical).
This year kicked my ass in many ways but I've learned I can take it & it's just a part of my journey (I'll always come back stronger). 😉
Side note, resolutions are okay - don't be a dick when you see them being posted and rain on someone else's attempt at growth.
Be safe y'all.
Cheers to healing & health & all the rest of that goodgood. ✌🏾🎉❤️

I took some much need "time away" with my sister and friends camping over the last few days.
We ate tons of local foods, explored some nearby wineries, and just chilled the hell out.
I'm happy to be home but so thankful for the time with my sister and out in nature 💜

We had an amazing time yesterday making some juice for cider the way people used to with an old cider press. .
