Putting art into the world and no one cares
9 Jul· Blah Di Da
I'm fascinated how I have no control over what happens when I put something into the world. I wrestle with it a lot. Sometimes I care too much about it. Sometimes I don't care at all.

Catching the spirit with art
11 Jun· Blah Di Da
I felt the spirit in music as a kid, or at night, or in random moments. I wanted to learn how to hold it outside myself, even if temporarily, through art.

Why I like "bad" poetry
21 May· Blah Di Da
Most literary poetry feels like it's looking over my shoulder. Some poetry I read I feel like I deserve a trophy and it belongs on my shelf. Other poetry I feel like I earned a friend and it belongs in my bag.

Laughing at myself and sometimes others
8 May· Blah Di Da
I like when a writer or comedian points inwards and laughs at themselves. And I like it when they point outwards (sometimes). I'm more likely to believe them.

Resting is important to make quality art
23 Apr· Blah Di Da
