About

Just an average guy. These are just ramblings. Screams at the void. Outside of baking, I’ve no special qualifications, no radical insights on the human condition except for being on. Consider this a modern go at being a rural folk artist, doing the work they want regardless of the outside world.

My life is food, running, and experiencing the shit storm this world has become. And dogs.

For the record, I am a rural, Southern, white man with redneck tendencies. I often speak and type in vernacular. I have strong feelings about being from here, good and bad. But I believe we are only guaranteed this one life. Every human has the right to live the best life they can, and it’s our responsibility as other humans to make that happen. We are each other’s brothers and sisters, and we are responsible for each other. (Damn Christian upbringing seeping through my Agnosticism). Maybe that makes a pinko socialist but don’t really give a fuck.
