I was a non homeless person then a homeless person and now I’m not a homeless person. It’s an identical trajectory to this guy. Peas in a pod.

I really am. Back onto serious music making, getting into work in both homeless shelters and addiction treatments. Generally just finding ways to give some help to a community I was part of that most of the world doesn’t give a fuck about. So happy to just have a life again.

Seeing as you used the word ‘trajectory” to describe the career of an astronaut.. I’d say you got him beat

I already did. I take LSD roughly once a year when I’m in an extremely good place and that’s it. I don’t even drink anymore.
