I love windscreen time. It’s therpeutic. I live on a farm in ohio but do a lot of work in New York.Sometimes I’ll drive. I listen to books. I treat myself to a two cheeseburger meal at McDonald’s.I have a little air cooled 911 and planning a 2500 mile road trip in it to a friends wedding in July. There’s something about bonding with a machine that I love. I love the smell of oil and gas and manually rowing through gears on beautiful byways. Stress drops away and it’s meditative for me.

Doesn't matter if it’s with your partner, friends, or all by your lonesome nothing beats burning rubber on the open road. I’m not much of a speed freak but there’s something about gunning it on the highway that gets my gears going.
There’s so much country out there and it’s all within driving distance. You might just find your new favourite small town or offbeat roadside attraction. Get out there and have a good time!

nothing has ever been more about the journey than the destination. Blasting music, talking about anything and everything, pulling over for random landmarks and dinner at Waffle House.
Give me the entire world through a car window as long as somebody else is driving.

The mix of fear and adventure
Driving through the night blasting your music with the windows cracked open just enough for the cold breeze to swipe against your face while having the car heater set on your hands and feet, smoking j after j to keep you up while you let the random thoughts come and go from your stupid little head. Practicing pushing the unproductive thoughts away. Very hard for me, they get stuck all the time, but I WILL keep practicing

I grew up in a Beatles, Willie Nelson, three tenors house.When i was 12 or so, my friend up the street put me on. The ramones. Violent femmes. corrosion of conformity. Metallica. DRI. Minor threat.Across the street, my other friends older bother tuned me into the smiths, the cure, bauhaus. Joy division and new order…echo and the bunnymen…In college i found the dead.All of this is a soundtrack to my life. I cant live without constantly listening to music. It’s means so much to me to music to whatever im doing. It makes living a joyful experience.

I dont know what it’s like to not be neuro divergent.It manifests in ways that are…inconvenient. Anti social, stand-offish, scattered, frsutrated, over explaining, self doubting, perfection paralysis…et al.One of the reasons I love what I do is because I can actually show people what I’m thinking…through images, fabrics, product…things that are tangible and tactile and the conversation becomes much easier.There’s a block in my brain in which the words are in my head, but the ability to communicate them is hard to get out of my mouth.I have to work on this every single day to keep the non ideal aspects of this at bay. I’ve been responsible for large teams and have worked within publicly traded companies for 20 years, so the ability to communicate clearly with concise intentions is vital.These are all things associated with ADD, but the understanding of this by people that don’t experience it first hand is minimal. It’s not about being scattered or flakey. It’s so much more deeply complex.Simple tasks to most people present themselves as heavy left obstacles to me.Every day, it takes monumental effort to pull up and put my game face on. However, the upside to how my brain operates (I can’t speak for others) is that I get incredibly plugged into what I’m passionate about.I’m so fortunate and grateful to have found that outlet in a creative field that brings me joy and a sense of accomplishment…and I get to work with amazing people who are equally passionate.So whoever is out there that experiences this…I see you and I feel you.Get up. Brush your teeth. Get dressed. Regularly push yourself outside your comfort zone and follow your inner compass because it will tell you deep in your guts what you’re capable of doing.Also, a dog is wonderful at soothing this condition.

I’m super smell sensitive. Ive worn the same fragrance for almost 20 years. Santa Maria novellas patchouli. Just recently a friend, Todd nickey of nickey kehoe sent me some of what hes been working one. They were both great but his brand Bernards cleome parfum ol bijou was so good. So now i put that on first and the patchouli on top. I love the mix.
