Two Tuesdays ago, Jocelyn and I made our way to Indianapolis from Twiggtown. Along our 2,700 mile journey we stopped into Indianapolis not only to see family but to get our engagement photos taken. I was excited although completely without expectation or prior experience of this sort of thing. Thankfully, Mindy Hiatt and her fiance/photography […]
“It’s a shame how I see all trash around here,” he said. He pointed to his head. “People don’t understand that the freedom starts here in your mind.” From this article.
English: O my God, I offer you all my prayers, actions, and sufferings of this day in union with the merits of Jesus Christ, for Thy greater glory, and in fulfillment of Thy most holy will. I offer them in honor of Mother Mary, most holy, in honor of St. Joseph, and of all my patron […]
You won’t have another applicant who traveled Bhutan for a month as a diplomat, or who can ramble off a stupid-long list of the digits of Pi. I can also grow a beard so thick I could donate it to locks-for-love.

The National Hellenic Museum has been busy making some intro videos for their new beautiful Chicago museum. If you were waiting for the right time to tap into your Greek heritage, it’s probably time to go check it out. The NHM has been using beats from this site in their videos. Check them here: Comments […]
Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness – I wouldn’t know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness. Aaron Copland
I’ll be posting more often due to my recent decision to cut off ties with the Friendly Networking Monolith known as Facebook – I had been more active in posting things I liked there. I’ve been cooped up in the lab for a few days not feeling well and letting my body cleanse itself out. […]
I’m almost done with the first semester, and just finished writing on Europe’s “discontents”, her problems, and the ethical response found within Social Teachings of my beloved RCC. Two weeks ago I was neither writing music (because I had papers to write) nor writing papers (because all I wanted to do was write music), and […]
Three new tracks for y’all. Presence Of The Bass (mp3 @ 256kbps) I’m (so) Proud of you (mp3 @ 256kbps) Anymore (mp3 @ 26kbps)
It’s been a very pleasant (awesome) few days, despite the various housing problems, the extreme shortage of money, the upcoming finals, and the impending big decisions I have to make about school. I had the pleasure of stumbling around Rome with a pretty lady who tolerated my musings, bad jokes and inclination for really dudeish […]
Submission for the Beat Competition in St. Louis Tonight. Hope it goes well. I’ve got a running credit there now…
There has been a lot of pressure coming in on me from different sides- scholastic obligations and friends and collaborators who are quickly improving their technique, giving me a run for my money and challenging me to step up on the plate. I won’t have a lot of time for this sort of thing, I […]
Hello y’all, I’ve been back in Italy for about two weeks now, trying to get all the papers straight and the monastery technological department running smoothly. I’m moving to Rome and living with Evan and his little slice of heaven any day. The internet often dies at 8:00, leaving me unable to work and able […]
From Joni Mitchell’s Hissing of Summer Lawns comes an attempt to be a shadow of soul of what Joni brings to the table. She’s one of my inspirations, one of the greatest gifts from my mother, and one of the most talented singers to tread from the green days of the age of aquarius into […]
DJ MF has been cranking out beats faster than I can count, so it’s time for me to step up, do more updates and keep the limited fan base entertained. Below is some funk not ready for the project, but makes the soul feel good. Feels good to be refreshed – being back in Italy […]
Second installment in the various pieces I’ve done with no home, no father, no nothin’. These don’t make the cut to the Odyssey project, aren’t funky enough for Philly Tea, but nevertheless come into being because I hear a wild sample or twist some knobs and make a nice noise. ENJOY.

For those of you tuned in, you may have noticed lots of layout and content changes, but few blog posts. I’ve been spending the creative energies on beats and learning enough tech know-how to manage this site, though I’d greatly appreciate someone who’d like to step up. Last night madlib & J.Rocc played at Circolo […]
Soon enough (once I figure out these plugins), I’ll upload pictures and some stories. For now, a non-verbal summary of my trip.
