get ready.

Folk Life & Liberty.
it's on my mind.
countrysideever-lovin' life-livin' goodness.
puppet shows and bicycles and welded-up single-speed contraptions.
jug-band jams, and fireside storytelling.
how about home made root beer?
hell yes.
i'm already ready already,
but,
the house hunt is comin' up short.
rather than bum out with my bum out,
it's got me thinking on the bright side of some very cloudy days,
because i'm ready to move on,
move up,
and move into a better-days barbarian headquarters.
a fresh-to-death fortress of flavor.
every day is another day closer to better days,
and the worst days are still better than past days...
today is the day.
and the 'glory days' aren't back then,
they're right now.
a better fate than death awaits us anywhere!
i'm just sayin'.
the damp and dismal doo-doo butter basement i'm residing in
just isn't a suitable scene for serious construction.
i'm talking about buildin' a better life, ninjas.
F*, i'm talkin' about livin' well and building a real life.
i'm ready.
i mean,
life is happening right now.
just slightly slower, wetter, and less explosively,
at least compared to how i'd like it to be.
which, of course, is to say louder and harder than ever.
i'm ready.
i'm here.
Folk Life & Liberty, ya'll.
rural and righteous an' free.
it IS harder to get psyched when it sucks outside, for sure,
and the weather report says it's nicer outside in alaska right now.
so c'mon, ma nature-
hows about you an' me silver-line these creepy cloudcoverings,
and help me its-bitsy spider this week?
i'm spoutin', after all...
gettin' busy gettin' busy,
makin' moves and keepin' it really real.
i'm workin' and searchin' and writin' and readin'.
i'm here.
i'm ready.
Folk Life & Liberty.
farmers' markets, hand-thrown pottery, and wood-grilled treats.
fresh sourdough bread, an' that.
northern new england.
old timey goodness.
woodsly goodness.
bearded-weirdie berserker barbarian warrior worthiness.
hot mutha-ucka-lickin' fire and sh!t, ya'll!!
i'm ready.
if i say it enough, it must be true.
i'm ready.
the wind is blowing.
change is coming.
i'm ready;
never quiet, never soft....
