Secondhand
November 2012
The month I got laid off.
My world stood still driving home in a new lexus I just bought and pulling into a house we just built and huggin Asher who was just born and giving my wife britt a kiss. It was right before Thanksgiving and we had maybe $900 in the bank.
If you’ve ever crashed on a bike or a skateboard there is that time between you getting launched into the air and hitting the ground where everything pauses. Thats what it felt like.
When the universe has something planned for you it gives you the option to listen (gives you lots of opportunities to listen HA) and act or mother nature will do what she needs to do to get her creation back in-line and in the direction it needs to be… I knew it needed to happen. AND THANK GOD IT DID.
We always know what needs to happen…
Honestly I didn’t have to burn the ships. God did for me and it was a miracle made out of shit.
It’s fascinating how it works.
There is so much more to this whole story and how it led up to the point of me getting laid off and the next 10yrs of this crazy adventure.
So many details
and im going to get to that one day…
I’m coming in to a new chapter of my career and life.
Im about to launch a art project i’ve been working on for the last 2yrs and its a culmination of everything i’ve learned and fallen in love with:
Community
Creativity
Adventure
So, this is going to be a place for me to write and share my love for life and its beautifully insane adventure for anyone willing to listen.
A place to share what its like to build a project and release it to the world
A place for me to share the things I want to share that isn’t dominated by algorithms.
A place for me to get better at story telling and give others glimpse into the life of a 36yr artist/entrepreneur husband, dad of 4 that has a burning passion to go against the norms of life.
A place to share what its like to go after something you believe in
But selfishly its for me.
A place I get to write the story of my life. So when im old and don’t remember any more I can go back and re-read the adventures of my life.
Grateful

P.S. - I don’t really edit what writing so if that bothers you im sorry. I did go to college for 5yrs. I just didn’t graduate so you get it.
