Thought I could do it alone

Like I had something to prove

But Austin sunsets,

Won’t let me say goodbye to you

So I’ll get fucked up

Say goodbye to sobriety

Til I’m so numb

But then I hear it quietly

Your voice in my head

“What the fuck are you doing?”

And I’ll tell you

im fighting a battle im gonna lose

Then you’ll tell me

“Don’t you dare use me as a your excuse”

And of course, you’re right

Like you alway were

When it wasn’t about you

but now I’m faded

Crying on the floor

Just fucking wasted

And the cops are at the door

I’m so sick of

being a burden to you all

Can’t stop thinking

It should’ve been me

With fentanyl in my veins

Drifting off to sleep

and you should be here,

You should be here.

22, so much life to live,

Smoking a joint under the eclipse

Hey y'all, this is H... I've been holding off on breaking into Geoff's Tumblr because it was always a hands off area for me. But I would feel remiss to not let you guys know that he passed away on the 8th of May,shortly before one in the afternoon. His pain was well managed and I feel like his soul was at peace.

On April 25th, I woke up to him having a seizure and then he stopped breathing. The EMTs were able to get him breathing but he never woke. He had a couple three heart attacks and a bunch of seizure activity. He just didn't get enough oxygen for too long, although it wasn't ever considered brain death. His angiogram was surprisingly clear but there was weakness in his right ventricle. He was in ICU at Virginia Mason in Seattle, intubated but still breathing on his own, for 8 days. His dad and brothers flew in and his mom and I and them made the hard decisions together. His cousin was with him at the end and he had so many friends come visit him. We played his favorite songs and some that he didn't like. We held his hands, prayed, cried, talked, and everyone told stories...

Well, not me. I kept my stories to myself because no one else would understand what was so funny. Like him singing Holiday Road every time we went in a trip. Or us yelling at deer on one of our first dates in that damn Volvo he had.

Anyway, I thought that you all would like to know. Henry and I are doing a well as can be expected but kids are way more resilient than adults. My heart is broken but I soldier on. Just know that if he knew you or talked to you, he loved you. Tell your people how you feel. Every. Fucking. Day.

How did I not know of this hot, sexy man. He is a singer/songwriter with a distinctive voice, mostly upbeat music and lots of online photos and music videos. You can check him out on youtube, Twitter, where ever.

At the end of the day

I hope I’m no one’s sweetheart

Nor would I be someone’s best friend

I don’t want relationships to tank

No one to suffer, to die in the end

I’m afraid I’ll misstep

I get emotional, overly upset

I’m not gentle with my bomb

I’m a deadly disease

A burden you’ll keep with life

Never rid of with ease

I can’t handle being there for you

When just being has gotten hard

I’m content by my lonesome

Better to keep your skin clean than scarred

Well the night she has fallen--she's down on her knees.

Like the moon drunk and calling, I'm calling to sea.

Oh, sweet west wind wash me--my hands are caked and stained.

Won't you lay down beside me; love, I need your pain.

And you know it's going to be alright,

And you know it's going to be alright,

And you know it's going to be alright,

When the morning comes.

A song for those quiet moments you wish could last for a long time. A lullaby to a loved one, a whispered wish for continued togetherness that can never be certain. A prayer of gratitude for what is somehow here now in spite of reason or merit ❤️

Friday 5:

1. I thought it was going to be slick as hell this morning, but thankfully it wasn't. Still had to call in to work... #thanksgastricsystem

2. That being said, I really think I'd enjoy remote work more. I like my coworkers, but I'm trying to put up time boundaries and so far it's not really working. We work when there is product, so having 2 administrators there on a day like today is pointless, but I'd still have a difficult time getting a dictation of a SAP script done so that we don't have to rely on our support team so much. And I realize that I'm only in week 4, but the heat is there because another huge facility in our company goes live in a few days with a ton more product offerings, and not enough support to go around. So yeah...#sinkorswim

3. I will probably have the weekend off too, which is nice, and we have zero plans. Probably put away Christmas, clean a little, try to find a thank you gift for my stepson for fixing our sink(He, his wife, and their kids are such a delight!)... low key. Hell, I might even read a bit. READ, OMFG!!!!! H got me a book about "chasing the burst", the stories about the wood and the people who built the legendary guitars of Gibson and other great builders, and Im dying to just soak it all in. Funny thing is some of that wood can be traced to a mill that used to exist about 5 blocks from my house, and MANY moons ago Gibson took loads of blocks out of the maple grove right across from the farm we used to rent. (Fun fact: I have an aging burl from that grove that someday will become a guitar...someday...lol). Anyhoo... #nerdout

4. Speaking of which, I just finished the Audible version of Bono's book, "Surrender", and it was moving. It always amazes me the circles in which runs, like knowing people; but then it also amazes me that I've met people with whom he's friends. And to that end, I'm sure that I have very few degrees of separation with quite a few of yall, we just don't know it... lol! #itsasmallworld

5. I think that eventhough I've started this new job, and I'm really enjoying the challenge, I'm going to start looking at jobs with guitar manufacturers that match my education and skill set. Totally dreaming, I know, but here's the thing: I need to have an outlt for my passion for music. If it's not making the music, it has to be part of the supply chain that builds the instruments that make the music. It can be done ethically, with sourcing that's environmentally considerate, and at price points so that people getting into music can take those instruments and keep the tradition going. It's not me saying I'm quitting my craft, it's me making saying I want to commit to making the craft accessible and sustainable. #itstooearlyforthebullshitgeoff, #shhhhhh

Anyhoo, back to making music with my fingers and taking buggy to school. Much love to yall, and have a good friyay!
