Stoked!!!!
The last week has been wild af but some good news came through last minute and my attorney got things nailed down and I am now a several hours into having stem cell treatment. I can already feel a slight decrease in pain and stepping down stairs doesn’t hurt as much.
This is SOOOOOOOOOOOO sick! I can’t even beLIEVE I was blessed with this life changing experience. The pain relief already is just AWESOME!!! I wanna bear hug every one of you who’ve stuck around with me the last several years. THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
I’m gonna post progress for all of you who’ve kept me motivated and who’ve asked about it. I’ll give little updates as to what it feels like and all that stuff y’all asked about. Haha. I legit appreciate y’all so much.
Also some MAJOR shift in many other life’s aspects and some MUCH needed justice to some crooked cops and people in positions of power around Oregon is coming which ALSO means I can step back from 2 years of investigation. Good, good GOOD things in the works and now I’m actually starting to feel REAL relief without feeling drugged out on muscle relaxers.
I guess “here’s my recovery story”.
Thanks again y’all. Y’all are the coolest!

Herniated and torn discs in my cervical and lumbar spine.
I don’t know all the medical jargon but it’s not a good one, I know that.
I’m gonna try like hell to get back on my bikes, it’s just gonna be another long road.
Like Arnold said, “I’ll be back!”. I turn 45 next month, I’ve got another 15 years of BMX to attend to easily. Maybe more.

With enough let downs, it’s easy to let it harden your heart and teach you to doubt everyone’s agenda. For a long time, I caught myself hating everything around me, unable to trust anyone and when you’re looking through that kind of lens, you miss all the good right in front of you. I started falling into the trap of judging a whole group by a few rotten apples, letting past damage write a script for people who didn’t write the check. It’s a dead end every single time.
Furthermore, nobody likes the dog that’s always barking and pacing at the fence, and trust me, living inside that constant state of defense is exhausting. It takes way more energy to keep your fists up at the air than it does to just open your hands.
If you’re carrying heavy weight right now, hear me out… drop the armor. Real strength isn’t about looking dangerous or making a production out of every slight. It’s about building something real, showing up for your people, and creating spaces where younger generation doesn’t have to learn the hard way like us.
Save your fire for building things that matter, whether that’s your craft, your community, or just peace of mind. Loosen your shoulders Holmes, step away from the fence “Big Dawg”, and let the sun in. It’s a lot brighter.

So many of us have trust issues in some aspect of life.
We don’t trust the government, we don’t trust dating apps, and half the time we don’t even trust cheap toilet paper to do its job.
Yet, we practice blind trust every single day. We trust that the gas station didn’t mix up the fuel tanks. We trust that oncoming cars are actually going to stop at the red light while we zoom past.
So I completely get why people struggle when it comes to the bigger things. When life gets heavy, it takes a lot to get past those walls and ask that heartbreaking question: “If God is real, why do people suffer?”
Have you ever committed a sin? Stole? Lied? Afflicted harm to someone? We’re all faulty, some more than others, heavily shaped by societal factors, economic pressure, and mental or physical health crises.
There are so many things that inhibit people. We desperately need to shift our collective mindset from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”
Nothing is inherently “wrong” with people; we just need to work as a community to heal our sick, not throw them out to become someone else’s problem.
Think about the placebo effect. What is it other than simply trusting that a pill will work, even if it’s just a sugar pill? Believing in a certain outcome literally makes it real.
That’s what faith actually is at its core: radical trust. And trust heals. The placebo effect is proof of this.
Aren’t you sickof being sick?
Let’s heal, dude!!!

One-month stem cell update for everyone asking.
To be completely straight with you, the physical turnaround has been wild. I’m taking WAY fewer pain pills, and for the first time in a long time, I just knocked out a longer ride with zero pain afterward. When your body isn’t locked up in chronic inflammation, everything else falls into place…better sleep, gut issues calming down, and just a massive boost in mental clarity and overall happiness.
Real talk, I’ve spent a long time in hermit mode building walls because chronic pain makes it easy to just try to survive in isolation. But seeing how many folks are curious about this process made me realize it’s time to step outside the box and share what’s working. Looking back, I really believe every rough patch and roadblock was just building the resilience needed for this exact chapter. Wouldn’t trade the path for a second.
Appreciate everyone who’s checked in and supported. Stay stoked and go get rad in some way!!!
Thanks again @nwfloridaphysiciansgroup

“CHOPPED WAVES”
Choppers and surfing are cool.
11x14 mixed media
My spine still can’t handle riding the chopper and I’m trying like heck to let these stem cells do their job so for now I paint what I’d like to do.
