Blue Shadows

Don't Fence Me In

Cathedral Heat

Carefree Highway

And The Watchman's Gone:

Tumbling Tumbleweeds

Happy

Even though things are crazy you can still be happy

Morning mashup in my head

My regrets look just like texts I shouldn't send
And I got neighbors, they're more like strangers
We could be friends
Hollywood Forever
Woah-Oh!





Also, RIP to the Flicker hole.  Our family enjoyed seeing you peep out and your churl call every morning and every now and again.  I hope you two and your babies , if there were any, are safe and find another home close to our house.

Punks unite

I love punk sticks for fireworks, they are my favorite.
I wish I could always have one everywhere I go.
May all your macaroni be delicious
May it rain on your house at midnight
Let's unite and suppress the power of tyrants
Punk power activate!



I thrive best, hermit style
With a beard, and a pipe
And a parrot on each side
But now I can't do this without you

Let's unite tonight
We shouldn't fight
Embrace you tight
Let's unite tonight

Here's to ya

4th of July Tyrant Protection Spell

In the year 2019, the United States of America has a wannabe two-bit despot as president.  Donald John Trump is insecure, cheap, and tacky. He and his enablers are traitors.  On the day of this country's Independence, the illegitimate president is declaring the celebration his own.  He is being placated, like so many, many times again, with tanks in a parade like we are a small insignificant country trying to prove its might.

On the day of our Independence, the birthday of my grandfather, a yankee doodle dandy, July 4th, I am going to perform a protection spell.  Feel free to join in.  Recipe below.

4th of July Tyrant Protection Spell

Need:
Intent
Paper
pencil or pen
feather
macaroni
significant items of home State (optional)
book or words of Washington Irving
firework or candle
punk
flag or drawing of flag (optional)

Suggestion: Refrain from purchasing tank fireworks for this year.  Or if you must, use them to protest the traitors that have taken our country hostage.

Draw a picture of Nathaniel Hawthorne, add embellishments and words of protection.  If you have a fellow yankee doodle dandy in your family, invoke them on this piece of paper.  Fold the paper once around a feather, let sit on mantle or place of energetic intention

Let a flag air out somewhere in your house(optional)

Also optional--this is a time where you may want to gather items or pictures of things of significance from your state; State flower, animal, tree, fossil.  Place these things wherever you want but with intention and maybe say a few words out loud or in your head

Now, go and make a macaroni dish, yes, you will be eating macaroni on the 4th of July

When you are ready to commence the spell:
Lay everything collected out in front of you in a way that pleases you
Get out your Washington Irving book or a quote found on the internet and read aloud as long or short as you want.
Go out and ceremonially light a punk and set off a firework. (you may light a candle instead or skip the punk and light a sparkler).  I don't recommend skipping the punk, you may always do the sparkler after the firework.
Here you may sing, eat macaroni, set off colorful smoke bombs and run around in them, burn the papers you collected or just burn a little hole with the punk and poke the feather through, save some of the remnants of the spell in a bucket or a flat rock and bury them in the yard the next day.

Sing:
I'm a yankee doodle dandy!  A yankee doodle do or die!
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam,
Born on the fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London, just to ride the ponies
I am the Yankee Doodle Boy

and

Yankee doodle went to town riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni

Yankee doodle keep it up Yankee doodle dandy!
Mind the music and the step
and with the girls be handy

Enjoy the night, enjoy the sights, enjoy the sounds, enjoy your space and those within it.
