Gloomy day gloomy single
From the physical media re-release of the OPEN DOOM CRESCENDO + The Rest Of OPEN DOOM CRESCENDO records, exclusively handed out at screenings. This track had been haunting me for the longest time, and I was never content with how it turned out on the initial The Rest Of OPEN DOOM CRESCENDO release. So IContinue reading “Gloomy day gloomy single”
Insomniac Dreams
Written way-on-the-nose to “Pictures of You” and “Out of This World” by The Cure. To every beautiful-ass amazing-ass badass person who came to Insomniac’s screening of Open Doom Crescendo at Eyesore Cinema—I am forever grateful, humbled, and moved. Tell everyone you can.

My close bonds had encouraged me to at once feel as sad as I needed, but also all the necessary resentment. So untilContinue reading “Dead Fathers & Outsider Art”
To everyone
1 I shall first demonstrate how far I’ve come—exhibiting my last down-on-myself contemplation from sometime earlier last week. Skip to act 2 if you don’t like Sum 41. These feels (n.) don’t really leave. And they won’t really leave when you’ve gotten what your feels had you feeling for. But if it doesn’t get better,Continue reading “To everyone”
Post-Paradise Thank You
The goal was that when I’m in Montreal again it’s resumption of arrangements, but now with making the most out of the catharsis and optimism I’ve collected here in Toronto. And since I was in the midst of losing my fuckin mind when I was last there in 2018, I had to show up withContinue reading “Post-Paradise Thank You”
Obituary
I buried Dad early last week leading to the weekend megabus to Toronto, which is a relief cause I resented him enough that I didn’t need an extra thing to curse him over. There was already enough to navigate between the “fuck that guy” and the “he was still my dad and did at leastContinue reading “Obituary”
