(ok let me focus (wait one more thing (baby absolutely slid in the new version dont get me wrong (ok where was i (music is the most sacred form of art (like im probably the best photoshop painter in the universe but i cant create anything that can give you some of the feelings music can (i shouldve been a rapper (but the music industry is crazy (first reaction to these awful deals is always to say its hurting the art (but blah blah everything is subjective blah blah so idk (definitely hurting the humans behind the art (i guess it feels like artists cant get as artsy with it though ya know (and yet still its so cool the way the sound of hip hop has evolved despite artist being in perpetual debt and having to overthink the art that should naturally pour out of them (where my carti stans at? (wlr being received so negatively at first and then really appreciated a lot in a short amount of time maybe is bc i think people realized this is what we want no! need artists to do (even if you miss its like hey carti at least got artsy with it (and cant say it enough producers dont get enough credit (pierre bourne and f1lthy have objectively and significantly influenced the art that you are currently scrolling through right now (how are producers not clearly half the equation? (at least!! (can you imagine if drake kanye and baby said were gonna destroy labels and streaming services (no no not like tidal (idk can you nationalize the music industry?

poetic self portrait 932023
(can't quite confidently conclude if anyone could care to continuously consume this diary but i haven't posted since may ((sorry 4 the wait)) and since you asked (uhh) I'm frolicking away
from a fling in the forest of Nebraska ((afraid of what she'd say so please don't ask her)) constantly concerned we can't commit to love for life so in 2075 probably have a good cry then die, old, cold, and alone in Alaska
((fast forwarding through life I lapped ya))
now its 4:30 on the 3rd sunrise of September ((so naturally)) im mixing beers and daiquiris to quiet the thoughts that are often harassing me
((((paint all day! then im fast asleep on the floor of the torpedo factory -they gave me a studio- (how flattering) a creative space, all mine, third floor, castle in the sky
((((some of my coolest creations are simply metaphors for being high))))
on a jet to McPherson space station exploring our collective imagination
((goddamn i love alliteration))
3 tabs on my tongue so awareness is temporarily toggling between terribly twisted and terrifically trippy
looking through a portal or maybe merely a musty metro window with an arch (now its kicking in, feelin loose (no starch))
good morning its 4:43 (almost turning 27 thought all my dogs would go to heaven then i stopped believing around 2011 (just a freshman)
free will is a foolish fable so i guess i was destined
to have a relentless need for gas and speed with a little caffeine

runnin late
cruising down Connecticut crushing casa migos and koolaid
couldnt concentrate so cut to me crashin like a kamikaze through the white house gates
they said i was speeding but at any rate its not cute anymore my stage lights came on in 1998
whoops 1997
back to 2011 (aau practice) and we watched our friend Devon
collapse on the court and die below eyes
so fast
((you don't have to ask)) smiley face? just a mask
soon everyone will be ash but lets be clear
the finish line is near but its not yet here
so until the day I rest my head and never get out of bed I'm chillin with sexyy red parasailing over the Potomac floating on the breeze heading to southeast
(washington, dc)
somehow its snowing in september so we bought a magic 8ball and it told us to remember
be careful when you ski(yeee)
((my names logan circle (its little old me- eyes red like a fall tree) dying to construct creative countercultural community that i currently cannot see (never catch me selling nfts)

((((((work hard lifes hectic)) adderall for breakfast
my creative pace is so prolific ((it's kinda horrific) but I'm telepathic) probably painting privately cause life's not a blockbuster its more of a cult classic
excitedly explore the strange and scary parts of your soul as if it were a park named Jurassic
