Dave did some math just now. On day three of week six I gave in and began this blog. Some few of you may recognize the title. For those who don’t, it’s an ode to my favorite quotation, thanks to Kurt Vonnegut: 

I don’t know about you, but I practice a disorganized religion. I belong to an unholy disorder. We call ourselves Our Lady of the Perpetual Astonishment.

This has and ever will be, thanks to some time under the tattoo gun, my sole religious devotion. Herein I suppose I’ll write the details, both delightful and not, of my personal astonishment.

I have no expectations for this blog but that it brings a smile to a loved one’s face, and allows me to travel just a bit lighter. I am optimistic that some loved ones may comment, and that my writing might improve.

Lastly, while my latinx, queerness, anarchism, non-monogamy, and pot-smoking will absolutely show themselves and often, I’ve no criticism to make of other peaceful cultures, choices, and lifestyles. (Unless you refer to Cheeto Voldemort as an American President, in which case I would like you to fuck off, genuinely and forever.) I tend to speak and write strongly on these subjects because I feel things pretty damn hard, but not because I wouldn’t welcome a different perspective (as long as it appears with kindness).

Thank you for asking this of me; I needed the push. Thanks for being here; I love sharing with you already.
