all hallow's eve........

i just realized, that i'm in another small community this year on hallow's eve......weird.....

last year i was in a small community and there was a bonfire, fireworks and food.....same thing this year.....it's pretty cool to see communities rally around occasions such as this.....everyone looks so happy.....

seeing dad's holding their kids made me miss my kids real bad. even though, right now, i don't want to go home, other than to pick up my kids and get hugs and kisses. despite everything i've been through in this trip called life, my kids get me through the days. the nights are hell, but that's when i make art.

well, i'm gonna go play guitar and watch the moon rise over this ancient rainforest........

re: the road.....

i'm heading home right now after a couple weeks (maybe three weeks now?) on the road......it's always a challenge to shift gears and try to adapt to some kind of "normalcy"........which is something i don't really do that well anyways......i think i'm gonna buckle down and work on some new songs and get ready for some more touring.......

sometime in novemeber i've got a book called "Stone the Crow" coming out with Kegedonce Press, so hopefully i'll be hitting the road and heading to Ontario for some dates to promote that.......will keep you posted.....i think we're doing a launch somewhere in vancouver too........

it's always kind of surreal, especially today, knowing i'll be back home on the rez in kamloops in a couple days......makes me look at the sunset different, trying to absorb everyone bit of sunlight, every breath of air, the cool breeze, the dampness of the ocean and the rainforest i was walking through today.....the smell of cedar and the earth.....the sound of the ravens cawing in the sky.......the sound of the waves crashing on the shore......i have a difficult time coming back to earth and the 'loops.....

anyways, life is what you make it........


cheers,

amsterdamage

i flipped over to amsterdamage recently with some friends......ahhhh the good life.....

sacred ways and lost days........

art is therapy, art as therapy, art as a means of finding and using your voice.....

the perfect family

i'm not religious, obviously, i like things that are sacrilicious.....and controversial.

i've been on the road from home a lot this year.....i miss my kids so much.

they are everything to me and i hope i do a good enough job showing them that. as for the art above, i think i love the idea of the family, but, because i never learned or saw a functional family in my home life, i never learned those particular skills, so keeping my family together has never been a reality for long.

this means i am dedicating my life to my kids and arts/creativity.

some of us love the falling in love part of a relationship, and then suck at the rest.......

etc.

re: hey, i'm alright, really, i am.....

oi! things get better.....that depressing post i did a while back was a temporary state of affairs. i woke up the next day, the sky was blue and it was a beautiful day, the came back into my sails and i've been charging happily towards everything that comes to life. i feel damn good, and look forward to the next few weeks......

i've got a book of poetry coming out in november, called "Stone the Crow" published by Kegedonce press, some more info can be found here:

re: i've had better days.........

i've had a horrible day.

i'm so tired. me mum is having serious health issues, i haven't seen my oldest daughter in two years, and don't look forward to that battle.....i'm tired, and my ex just basically told me to go fuck myself. aside from that, i have to paste on that smile, lie to people, say everything is okay and charge back into the inferno.....called life......

i need a break. here's the part where if there was a god, a goddess, fate, something, anything, i say, give me a fucking break. i can't take anymore.

whoever you are, wherever you are, cherish everything you've got.

'cause you could lose it at anytime.

life and death in the garden of paradise.......

the death of chris bose

my great, great grandfather died in belgium during world war I. i've been doing some research about it as i started reading "three day road" by jo boyden. it made me think about what he must have went through before dying. all that he gave up to go fight for canada. his aboriginal title, land and many more things.

the great war they called it.

250

i'm on the road and i'm tired.

jeez, it ain't like when i was younger, not that i'm a friggin' geezer or anything, but the long nights take the toll.....the bus, the car, the planes and the waiting all take their toll......then coming home and trying to have normalcy.......right.....

most of this month i'll be on the road here and there around b.c. and maybe a surprise trip to toronto....we'll see, i'm knackered enough as it is......but i wanna play  guitar and jam and do things, so sleep will have to wait.....

november looks chill.......we'll see, it might get crazy and that's cool, ' cause that's how i live......

until then, i'll keep making art and music and stuff and keep you posted.......
