Its all about the hustle
And the bussel float on up Russell
Shut your mouth speech muffled
Last course sweet treat truffle
Never stopping never breaking
Nervous legs always shaking
Take a break stay awake
Recharge yourself for safety sake
This is all irrelevant
The room with the elephant
No need to address it
Takes me out of my element
Times a made up concept
That flies by so slowly
While you're doing something
Fast in the past still keep going.
I'm so tired
Slipping and dozing off
Every blink I don't think
This filth needs hosing off
Be silly don't be shifty
Live it up light it up in this city
Stand up with me yeah really
Light it up live it up in this city
Eat the whole fruit and rind
Energizing my mind
Keep on moving forward
Stay on my grind
You Fail to plan you plan to fair
Between your legs I see your tail
Going to run away and bail
No dragging your feet blaze a trail
Do or do not there is no try
Why squander your dreams and lie
To yourself and all you've told
Noone to have and hold when old
Going for that gold... medal
All this in your head... mental
More solid than rock... metal
Be kind to yourself... gentle
You can do this if you try son
Work hard play hard have fun
Look how far you have come
Won one and done it just begun
RANDOM SCRAPS #2: HERO HEARTBREAK
Every hero had heartbreak
A hero not what a heart makes
Take a chance to tempt fate
Can't be a hero without heartbreak
You smile and don't show it
Save the world they don't know it
Counting on you so don't blow it
While world's watching sit stoic
I can see you're not into me obviously
Dichotomy of your psychology is dear to me
CARD #12 and #13
Sour Diesel and Dionysus
Random SCRAPS #1: NOBODY'S PERFECT
Nobody's Perfect
No body is worth it
Stick with yourself for your health
Or you will short circuit it
Don't feel you're worthless
My legs are all restless
Frustrated the way things before me
Feels like it's endless
Take me home take me away
Not to the home where I stay
Set me free what will I be
Foggy futures what I see
Made it clear sincere
I just want out of here
Place to call my own
Friends lovers want to be alone
That just goes to show it
That you should already know it
Take that shot pop pop
Don't blow it.
I work and i don't work
Get paid but that works
Get pain but that hurts
Incomplete holes in my shirt
Where should I take this now?
Live my life simply graze like cows
Live my life blazing dazing
Put up a fight I can't figure how
Stuck in my ways
I'm stuck in a haze
Conscious yes subconscious mess
Got my hand in this cage
Post my passion home
He went got his post alone
No face tats for me
Imma just let it be
So imma start killing it
If I think it I'm willing it
Dust off march on
Signs sealed delivering it!
I will
my will
to thrill
my chill
I will
My will
Will not
Stand still
Don't care what you think of me
Deep down I care minimally
Keep my nose down
Don't end up criminally
So starting today
I'll grind I'll hustle
Build my legacy
Won't let it crumble
I'm not just a kid
But I'm not yet grown
Gotta break the chain
Be on my own
Pave my own way
All that's left to say
Look out for me
See you next Tuesday
I will
my will
to thrill
my chill
I will
My will
Will not
Stand still
This shit is mindless
Takes all my kindness
Takes all my sight
Causes my blindness
Another form of torture and control
Sirens and lights flash on patrol
Stop your passion and dreams
Set fire to your mind petrol
No free thinking critical
Slaves by day cynical
Can't break these chains
Get you all in line political
Society set by rules divine
Be this way by others design
Why can't we just be kind
Can't because there will be crime?
Sick of this we're all fish
In a glass bowl of control we're not living in
They got a hold of that bowl
All your decisions
Of my imagination
Is it a figment?
CARDS Concept Sketches
52 designs in 52 weeks. 52 cards are in a deck so it's my take on it. So going to take one of these sketches into a design I will have on a CARD. Each exclusive design will be posted on redbubble each week they are uploaded.
Thank you for following alongside the process. I'm looking forward to seeing this journey unfold.
Work in progress and masterpiece
Working full-time has given me a rough mental health balance. I struggle with mental maintenance but I always get back into the swing of things reguardless of my creative slumps. I am blessed to be able to have the time to get my mental health back in order. Art music writing etc weren't really giving me the joy and the fun it once was. Sadly nothing was. Every area in my life was stagnating. The concept of better really destroys the psyche little by little. Why can't we all be together stop pushing people to improve constantly or at least comparison in this case isn't doing anything but helping the situations human to never feel acceptable.
So here's to being accepted.
January CARD DESIGNS
Each month I will be creating 4 CARD designs as a challenge for myself. Below are the concept sketches for January. The final designs are posted in /CARD. I look forward to each month to see where each of these sketches take me.
Update
So I appreciate and thank you taking your time to ready my posts. This last week I haven't really posted much at all. I couldn't do much of anything this week. My grandfather passed away. We were really close. Growing up He and my Grammy raised us before during and after school while my parents were at work making money to support our family. They also had a babysitting business. My grampa would bring all 8 or so of us kids in one car to the playground. Me oldest in the trunk. He had an even better donald duck impression than the original. I love you with all my heart and really will miss you. I appreciate your understanding. SCRAPS 33-41 will be belated put all posted none the less.
Posting
Hello. I've been struggling mentally for a bit to get up the courage and motivation to get this rolling rock to gather some moss.
I will be posting every week in SCRAPS a poem from the new book. A poetry collection of 5 years of scrap paper called 117. A download of the ebook will be available soon.
I will also creating artwork every week in the year 2023 for 52 weeks for my CARD project. I am currently working and waiting until the unofficial release of my CARD packs for purchase happens sometime in the near future.
Music will also be posted to my YouTube channel as projects and videos are completed.

SELF CARE
Words aren't enough to define
Take a breath up in the sky
Got me shaking on a wire
Frozen let go you're fired
Fuels my spirit floating lighter
Maloney baloney never tired
Only in dreams it seems I find her
Step on up touch gloves fighters
Get that ink paper cultivate stacks
Focus is not hopeless my self love lacks
Stay humble in the jungle I gather facts
Time and space out of place tics and tacks
Boomerang breakthrough coming back
Escape and break fast constant attack
Stay golden pony boy got on track
Men of steel man they do not crack
Outer space. Inner world. Self Care.
A self portrait inspired drawing.
Traditional sketch to digital.
Live with love. Love with light.
“Don't undervalue yourself or overvalue others. Realize that they are made of good stuff and that locked in your mind are many good things. Then get to work and unfold these good things and make something out of that good stuff.” WWA
PERFECT BODY
I don't got a perfect body
No girl on my arm burnin hottie
No place of my own stay home
Because some people forgot me
What can I do to make a change?
Sing songs sit back home on the range
This government has made a stain
Sorry to the ones who lost the game
Ahead of me I was naive
Inside agreed with just my needs
I live to be comfortable and loveable
World won't change says stay humble.
To be comfortable is to be complacent is
To not strive to better arrangement is
To not care for thy neighbor is
To close your lid Tupper Ware container
Just different in how they were raised
oh boy back in the good ol days.
Glory to out childhoods of the past.
Not focused on the present aside is cast.
As a caste focused the low not the high.
We're all connected you and i
There will always be those who
choose to live less and those who
prosper and those put there by the plan
of the man triangle eye he sees through.
Idk my point. my decision optimistic.
Got clearer prescription optometric.
Clear view see through me and you
My own alignment awaken I come to
A self portrait of sorts called Self-Love. It is currently a project to finish over this snowy weekend.
I created this because losing who you are, your own love for yourself makes you lose so much more than that.
I am now more happy with who I am and where I am. I may not get everything I've ever wanted because I can't control what is going on the outer of my internal space.
The control I feel I need. The external validation and love I feel I need is inside me. Relationships are all but a bonus acknowledging ourselves that we are tapped into who we really are.
DEEP SLEEP
I dont care any more
Lying naked on the floor
Noone cares any more.
What the hell you waiting for?
Doin it for the hell of it
I'm not a donkey or an elephant
I'm not important I'm irrelevant
Doin it for the hell of it
I don't know better
No one else knows.
But I DO know better.
Bitter badder I suppose.
Head full of woes.
Curl your toes.
No time for hoes.
Lick my fingers Doritos.
Chase it. you can replace it.
Gotta own up. And face it!
X2
Ready for that deep sleep
Fly me away
High up in the clouds
No rain falling down
Dangerously cheesey
Dangerously sleezy
White and asthmatic
Call me wheezy.
Extra saucy
Salad tossy
Throw me a rope
Gotta flossy
Graced by your face
buy you presents
I'm not worthy
by your presence
Chase it you can replace it
Gotta own up and face it
X2
Ready for that deep sleep
Fly me away
High up in the clouds
No rain falling down
Hard to lose your nerves
They haven't helped before
I know the right path
Recalculatung a Detour
Take the road less traveled
May be rough and Rocky
Fight through it just begun
Don't get too cocky
Got that passion to write and sing
Soaring sky's with a broken wing
Not proving tough am I enough
We're all puppets cut your string
Chase it you can replace it
Gotta own up and face it
Unlike the days old masses
This sabbath is dark and black
Light ends the tunnel passes
Crazy train flying off the track
Chase it you can replace it
Gotta own up and face it
X2
Ready for that deep sleep
Fly me away
High up in the clouds
No rain falling down
(Fade away to nothing)
No not a drawing but I had to share this. I found a mouse friend. I was hanging out a bit ago at a local bird sanctuary where I like to go to connect with nature and ground myself for some time to myself.
A man walks up to my car and seems all panicked. His battery died it was cold and his dog was in the car. He has cables and was desperate because he was supposed to get his batter serviced tomorrow. Figures. Such a humble guy down on his luck. We count even find the latch for a good 5 or so minutes. I got a flashlight and found it in a weird spot. We spent a couple times giving it a go.
Come to have it I've been down on my luck as well. I was asking for a sign thing sweet going to be ok. I don't tend to ask for much but it felt it was necessary. So in my car after helping a man with his jump and saying bye to the pup I eat my bagel and my coffee. I picked up some meds I am starting to get a handle of my mental health.
As I reach for my bagel I see a little furball on the floor. Eeeeeeek! Not really. I was excited. I calmly gave him some bagel crumbs. I sat there for a while while we both munched down. It took a good half hour to coax this little one out of my car. After taking my seat cover off where he was hiding in strategic fashion I put a bagel piece just on the edge of the door so he would have a good amount of food for itself.
I have a video uploaded in the You Can Moo It Facebook page of what I'm talking about. My dad pointed out that this mouse had to be a good sign for me. I didn't notice but a song was playing during the video saying it's gonna be alright baby. I didn't even catch it and was going to delete the video. It was a quick thing to share about what happened. After looking up mouse spirit animal on the first result it solidifies that I got to be consistent in working on myself to recap my rewards. I have to find myself to find the answers to the universe. So how about that for a sign! <3
THUNDER CLAP
Under ourselves Indivisible
We're run by these Individuals
We can't see In the visuals
Taking all our 99% Residuals.
Luke I am not your Father
Floating suspended underwater
Burns hot together metal sauter
Souls wove makes a son or daughter
I know I don't have it together.
Rain cloud clap bad weather.
Groups of feathers flock forever.
Stuck in my own rut that I gotta sever.
Crumbling from this fragile nation
Why resort to Condemnation
I know I'm blessed but still stressed
Needs some elevation
With this lack of communication
Reasons for my internal Flagellation
Stuck here in this fragile station
Tried to escape vacation cancelation
Found it all in you but you
choose to choose another dude.
Give all of me its rude your attitude
This love from you was pre-chewed.
I know I don't have it together.
Rain cloud thunder clap loud weather.
Groups of feathers flock forever.
Stuck in my own rut that I gotta sever.
So that's all I got.
Not to pick on you or pick your spot.
Living the life I'm given.
Seek out my destination my vision
Cause my cause of addiction
Love conquers life's ambition
End of the road
bottom line stone cold
wherever I roam
To find my own home cause.
I know I don't have it together.
Rain cloud thunder clap loud weather.
Groups of feathers flock forever.
Stuck in my own rut that I gotta sever.
Rain cloud thunder. Clap clap clap.
Pain now mother. Clap clap clap
Rain cloud thunder. Clap clap clap
Rain cloud thunder!
I know I don't have it together.
Rain cloud thunder clap loud weather.
Groups of feathers flock forever.
Stuck in a rut that I gotta sever.
We need to find our very own super power. We are human but doesn't mean we still can’t feel super. Here's to feeling more super for this coming year and to stay in my power. I will not allow outside forces hurt my inner self. I am in control of my emotions and reactions. One step at a time. Day by day.
Relationship Rambles
She can easily find a better guy
Happy sweetness Peace of pie
Taller more handsome than I
She's a knockout right in the eye.
She's got me others got none
We're still just friends having fun
I'm that case I feel color runs
Down her face he left blue bumps.
You see my conundrum
The life not so humdrum
Singing for myself in a band
Futures bright health be a man
Demi attractive sexually
Doesn't matter actually
Could it be to me perfectly
Where in life I want to be?
Don't get too close. But don't be too far.
This balancing emotions is very hard.
Take a trip to the local bar.
Drive to mountains in my car.
Idk if they like me that way.
Taking things slow is ok.
Don't get ahead of myself.
Unless you want to head yourself.
Your mans hand is used against you
I just want to lay against you
Run from the tyranny tears she's shed
Run away from the pain that fears fed
I see you as my future one and only
But I gotta take time to better know me
You are a fantasy figment of my reality
Testing my actions and distractions had to be
I haven't known myself for years
Weekends with some buds not beers.
She's helpped me through jeer and cheers
Through lots of fear and tears.
For my own kind my own peace of mind
Before I can vibe with my tribe and cheer.
This has been a tough week for me. You can kind of guess what's going on. The fact they are all serious when they mean you gotta love yourself before you love somebody else is far deeper of a concept than I expected. I have to still keep going one day at a time no matter how bad I just want to give up.
All I gotta say is to this woman that I am sorry. You are right. I have to work on myself. I'm getting on meds with no shame anymore. My happiness is my job. I adore you in so many ways but I'm not going to hold you responsible for the way I feel. You added to my happiness as much as you could even though I was dragging myself down and thinking I wasn't worthy of the realest love I have every had.
NEW HOPE
Oooo Ahhh! Oooo Ahhh!
Trip on the past
At one point in time
Dark skies have past
Over this life of mine
Stare and lose focus
Feeling so low
Not all is hopeless
You go with the flow
Credits are rolling cut the ties
Waves are controlling rips inside
Moments unfolding sequence of lines
Your broken hearts have equal minds
We are the new hope!
We are the new hope!
We will not fail
The strength it burns within us
Tell our tale
The problems they don't concern us
Minds in jail
Lacking even common sense
Piercing the veil
With the Chain of Consequence
Credits are rolling cut the ties
Waves are controlling rips inside
Moments unfolding sequence of lines
Your broken hearts have equal minds
We are the new hope!
We are the new hope!
Day after day spent chasing
While my whole lifes been wasting
Resurrection to my woeful
Vocal redemption facing
The new hope where we walk the skies
The new dope the darkest of sides
Savior’s sabre is in your favor
Of course the force replies
Oooo Ahhh! Oooo Ahhh!
Credits are rolling cut the ties
Waves are controlling rips inside
Moments unfolding sequence of lines
Your broken hearts have equal minds
We are the new hope!
We are the new hope!
Credits are rolling cut the ties
Waves are controlling rips inside
Moments unfolding sequence of lines
Your broken hearts have equal minds
We are the new hope!
We are the new hope!
A Bob Ross inspired acrylic on canvas board. Waves of energy are always controlling us. Sometimes those riptides rip inside. You at the end of it all have to just go with the flow.
This is the first song actually being created by a band Chain of Consequence. I am in fact the vocalist. I play ukulele and bass when the song needs it. Just like those waves it has been a storm of a struggle but that's another goal of mine. We are creating a 10 song album when all is said and done.
Navigator
I bought this canvas from a yard sale years ago. It was a more simple tree landscape with a lamppost. I had the intention to paint over it. I felt terrible. It means something to someone else at one point even though it seemed to be someone just starting up painting.
Not a novice myself but still discovering my process. I threw a bunch of colors on the floor. I wanted to use up some of my paints left around. That's my goal to at least with my painting is to use up all the paint I have before buying new ones.
I wasn't feeling the greatest this week. A loved one was admitted to th hospital while one isn't doing great with dementia. I sometimes get stuck. Frozen.
Not knowing where to go or what to do. I just stay in place. So out comes the navigator as a push to move in any direction really but honestly with the one the speaks to you the loudest. Hope you enjoyed it. I did.
If I can moo it… You Can Moo It!
