This is a place where I'm going to be unpacking random things out into the universe. I trail off a lot. I am very interested in photography, tarot, mysteries and crime, and I tend to hobby hop. I have a LOT going on in my mind and this is that little pressure release valve. I have an endless thirst for knowledge but a bad potty mouth. You've been warned.
Email me if you have a suggestion for an episode, or if you want a tarot reading :)

Episode 12.5: I get high with a little help from my friends
In episode 13 I have a great conversation with friends, but especially Gemini Playboy! He's been a supporter of mine since the beginning and just a great dude. Enough about me.

Episode 12: Okay but HOW do we get over the rainbow? Bad feelers bro
Sup ball face. Somewhere the skies are blue, eh? With the sun, there is rain.
There are anger and rage under the shell we present to the world, it’s just that sometimes they can’t stay inside all the time. Rage and anger are normal and common emotions, and not inherently bad for us.
In this episode I talk about responsibility, accountability, and taking ownership of yourself. You aren’t responsible for other people’s emotions, but you are responsible for yours and how you react and treat people. The expectation is not perfection. The expectation is that we wake up every day and try to be better than we were yesterday. Love you okay byeeeee

Episode 11: Sacred Animals
Have you ever wondered why the Egyptians worshipped cats? Or why cows are sacred in Hinduism? Who is that frog lady?
Well, you and me and Gemini Playboi all had that same questions.
Which is not at all suspicious.

Al Capone had a lot of philanthropic (listen to the episode to hear me obliterate that word) endeavors. Bad stuff too, but surprisingly some good!

Episode 8: Feet from the Salish Sea
My flabbers were ghasted when I stumbled upon a post about a foot that washed up on a beach from the Salish Sea. Diving deeper, I found 23 more feet that have washed up in the area. I could not NOT learn more.

Episode 3: Fear and Instincts
It stinks? NO, noo, it's instincts! I was spooked but then I got curious. How does fear have the ability to take complete control? How does it tie in with experiences from our past ancestors? If you want to know the answers but don't feel like reading them, boy do I have a deal for you!

This is my attempt at relaying the story of Henry Box Brown, aptly named after the mode of transportation that brought him to freedom. There's a lot of information out there, but here is a piece I can offer.

Welcome to Lax Unpacks
This is a trailer. What else do we need to know about a trailer? This is where you can find out what this will entail while you're listening with your ear bones. I bet ear bones IRL are gross but if you picture them as cartoon lil guys they'd be so cute. Anywho, ohiioooooo.
