I have been meaning to update you all with more letters about my experience in Australia, but have been stuck in the perfect storm of having too much to do and not enough time to do it. Also, thunderstorms.
Casual rambles, short stories and poetry done casually
I hope everyone is settling into the new year. For me, it’s not really a new year. Not yet, anyways. I have always had an issue with the idea that the new year should begin in the dead middle of winter. Which is why I am writing to you from the apex of summer in Melbourne, Australia.
It took a moment, but I’m excited to say the Casual Camera is here. I had to reiterate how I wanted to the video to look multiple times over, but finally reached a level of complete that I am elated to share.
It’s a late night Monday update because I am prone to late nights. Who could have guessed?
I think it goes without saying that I write a lot about how I fuck up. I think that needed to end yesterday, so I’m not going to boohoo about how I meant to release the Casual Camera last Thursday and did not.
The one thing I am going to do is give you the revised schedule.
Howdy, Casual Ramblers! The Casual Camera has been postponed for Saturday; Wednesday got away from me in a good way. The good news is that I found an idea for the next short film that I am pretty happy about. I just have to find time to make it happen; likely tonight and tomorrow day. […]
I must admit something: I’ve been stuck. Stuck between the pages of my journal, writing, rewriting and then writing again poems that have been equally stuck in my head. And when I brought my head up, I realized that three weeks had passed since my last post.
Welcome to a new era of the Casual Camera! Enjoy my first short film, “A Prayer Roll” as I share three of my favorite poems from the past six months.
There’s a new short story on my Patreon! I’ve been hesitant to write about what I do on the Patreon because it felt like I would be doubling up, but the thing is you wouldn’t know about it if I didn’t!
The Portland Trail Blazers’ 2025-2026 campaign begins tomorrow, which means there’s no better time for me to talk about what I think is going to play out for the year.
