J’essays
I would be honored if you visited my Substack to read and listen to my j’essays, and I hope you enjoy the experience.
Devil’s kitchen
Devil’s Kitchen is a geological feature Jodi and I visited on a stomp in Sedona. It’s so-named because a meteorite containing “magic” mushrooms infused with the DNA of ancient aliens landed there tens of thousands of years ago, and the devil—so the legend goes—fed the mushrooms to our prehistoric ancestors, unlocking consciousness in our species. I can’t back up any of that rubbish—but I do believe something like that happened somewhere in the world.
In my feelings
Sometimes my youngest son stays in his feelings like Drake after getting dunked on by Kendrick in a rap beef.
Human nature
If they say, “Why…why does he do me that way?” tell ‘em that it’s human nature.
Roll of thunder, hear my cry
I scoffed when Kanye West claimed bass-heavy music was mind control. Now I embrace his wisdom—and plan to follow his lead in influencing White House policy.
The cars that go boom
Unlike sistas Tigra and Bunny, the forty-five-year-old version of me sharing this three-dimensional experience with you does not like cars, especially not the ones that go boom.
Extinction-level event
It’s all but certain that humans will go extinct long before the sun swells into a red giant and swallows the Earth.
Crazy love
I’m grateful to have women in my life who give me love, love, love, love crazy as Aaron Neville’s hairstyle.
For better or worse
Chaperoning my son’s nature field trip helped me realize that humans are still in the larval stage of our species’ development.
Big beautiful bs
I call big, beautiful bs on anyone who calls Trump and his laws un-American.
The Age of Aquari(not)us?
Women are poised to flip the script and payback’s a bitch. That might could be why Elon, Bezos, and them billionaire boyz are so hype to get off planet.
Flight of the bumblebee
If we look closely enough, we can see the entire universe in a bumblebee.
Megachurch
I attended megachurch and loved it. This is an AI-generated image of a pretend one.
