Hello! I’ve been posting a lot of full drum cover videos and realized YouTube was a better place for that. So I made a YouTube channel! I will still be posting videos here and on instagram but you’ll be able to find them here too. Here is a link, where you can find my cover of Flying by Living Colour and my introduction/backstory

Chicago based drummer. Re-learning how to play after I tore my left patellar tendon in 2019 and didn’t get surgery for 2 and a half years. This is my journey. :)

Do you think I got a favorite color? Also, baseball socks are dope. Preemptive RIP to the Oakland A’s. Tagged is a song about pigeons. They’re terrorists but pretty. Did you know that white doves are pigeons? Well now you know.

Also, I like wearing shorts because it means I get to show these knee sleeves which effectively does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but be a sensory nightmare when my knee starts to swell, but people actually believe me when I say I’m disabled and need a seat or need the bus to kneel so I don’t die trying to get off the buss when my knees just explode. So that’s cool. Shout out to invisible disabilities, ayeeeee. are cool

“The Letters T and K”

This is not about any ex of mine. 3 specific people in mind. Narcissists. Very strange people. Who made life very hard for me to navigate and took advantage of my undiagnosed neurodivergence and the nativity that comes with it. Very evil people who I wish can find a life that is full of happiness and the joy of contentment, where they are not hurting anyone. And most importantly, a life far away from me. Have a great day.

Yes, there are jazz hands outside of the frame of the picture. If you were wondering.

To the few who love me
And watch me as I hurt
Kept tabs as I asked for distance
I can only lend you my forgiveness
But with this
Comes a catch,
That you must witness
Don’t wither, or look away
The same way that you did my pain
The discomfort is necessary
For anyone to gain
A sense of compassion and respect
Senses I always seem to give
But never get, but if you repent
I might consider it
But until then, my love for you
Will be suspended in a place
Gravity may never touch
In a dilapidated village
Not far from my home, but enough
For me to not feel
As I do for everything else
Surrounding me
Casually, unknowingly
I just refuse to be connected
To another casualty
The mirror in us is too strong to see
How much you resemble me
But never speak

I miss you but it was nice to talk with you today. Please stay near. I know you will. Just know I still want you to. 💜

I could name this one something that would just spell out what this means objectively like saying “this piece is titled ‘Hope’ and I.. ‘hope’ you find it swell 😳😳😳well, f**k you. Objectivity is boring, this is named “Oblivion.” Let’s be miserable forever, together like dweebs. Interpret everything until it all loses meaning. Or die!!! /s

I am seriously calling it Oblivion though because that’s kinda funny tbh. Juxtaposition like a muhfu*ka.

This is a SAD FU***NG SONG…..

RIP Steve Albini. I always wanted to meet him. I had plenty of chances but….agoraphobia…. As mild as I’ve gotten it to be these days….. man…. You could just hear the way the drums and guitar was on a record and know he was involved. Even just slightly.…. Well I’ll just be listening to a bunch of that for the day.

Ok so I’m doing this “project” where I am forcing myself to write about something every day. I started on 4-20, which is very funny to me because I don’t smoke. But so, if you ever told me that a conversation about Amanda Seals of all people (🙄) would be something I’d write about, I would probably just be like….why? But I see that in the black autistic space they really want to adopt her as an idol to relate to. Please stop that. With anyone! None of these celebrities give a single f**k about you. But also do not do that with people who have a multiple decades long track record of being habitual liars. This is the reason why we got the reputation of being naive. I understand wanting to take things at face value and take things in good faith specifically because YOU want to be taken in good faith and at face value. But refusing to grow a use for discernment is not how you navigate that.

Charlotte’s Web To Make Amends

Feeling very uncomfortable posting this but discomfort can be a tool for growth. I am in a very bad place currently. That statement isn’t even relative to what this is about. It’s just… everything. Needed a place to say this. Thank you for reading these. Or for ever reading it in the past. I really hope you enjoy these as I cherish them. Later. 💜

Text: If your hurt
Can tear down nature
You must take comfort
With the lack of nurture
It’s what you’ve sown
Out of your own
Lack of control

If your pain
Breaches barriers with
Unprecedented amounts of
Collateral damage
Then you may sulk
But take no qualms
With the results of which
And who you’ve harmed

If your mind
Moves you to conspiricize
Until the unreal
Nostalgically feels real
But still ensues
To confuse, even yourself
Thanks to the obvious…
Then you will have to
Accept what comes
With who’ve you endangered
For with delusion
You’re no stranger…
You could correct it
Or embrace it
Just avoid daydreams of
Reconciliation
That dream is dead
Along with the bodies
Buried along with mine
Just up ahead…

If you insist
The universe planned this
For you to meet the
Potential of your existence
Know that the universe
She means no harm
And all harm done by you
Was as if from a gun
Know, it was the one
Where she began to spun
Karmatic events
That you will never outrun
And reset the balance
Back into one
And the lessons unlearned
Is what’s keeping you from
Ending the cycles you keep
Along with the bridges
You burn
With plans to rebuild
The moment you yearn

In right mind or not
You’ll still be at fault
No matter how you explain
Or lies you maintain
There’s nothing you can do
To reanimate my remains
There’s no alternative endings
To your quest
No matter how much I miss
The feel of your caress
Regardless of dreams
Which leads my unrest
I cannot allow you to re-infest
No perfect lies you could attest
Would ever allow me to accept

I must insist that what I gave
In hopes it’d stop
Is, I regret
All that I’ve got

I haven't posted a lot about this on here but I found out back in March that my dad (who I live with), who only makes social security income w/ no pensions, fell behind multiple years on property taxes. Cook County has a yearly sale of delinquent taxes to any financial group that auctions for it. It accrues interest over time and if not paid in an amount of years since the first purchase they then own the property. In March it was 5.7k that had to be paid. They do not allow incremental payments for taxes that have been sold.

$1k has been added since March. It's at $6.7k that has to be paid off UP FRONT. $2k gets added December 1st. I have $4.5k currently and once this gets paid I'm still 4k behind on taxes that haven't been sold yet. Doing all the overtime I can at work but I'm currently sick with some medication complications I hope to get fixed in the next few weeks. Need help badly. $vagabonded and Corey-1992

So, to the two people who probably follow this account. I'm probably not bringing back the podcast so I have shifted it to me posting about my writings and any potential endeavors I go with music. Hope you don't hate that cause I don't! -Coreh

Collaborative Doomsday

Text:

A desperate paranoia
I cannot let it hold
Massive amounts of power
Over my head
But it leads me to darker places
A poisoned carrot stuck to my head
Control doesn't exist
Not even in my internal monolog
Constantly surrounded by danger
Traipsing through my hazy fog
Meticulously collaborate
By my own fumbling through life
And their invalid projections
This will surely lead me to
My death
And after all it's all I wanted
In any insecure moments
I keep on walking towards
Angry that I can't control it
If I keep going back to it
Isn't it what is truly for me
Is this spell lying to me
Or pointing me towards the truth?

K, this is a poetry and music page now. I don't have a name for this. I'm too lazy for naming things.

Currently pi**ed off with my clinic over f**king up my adhd meds so I decided to be a chaos goblin and also to bring it here because it's a nice distraction and I am always correct about everything

Love you have a nice day, make sure to eat and drink water. Take a magnesium supplement.

Unfortunately I guess this has to be said out loud. For an organization who capitalized off the want to pick up where Afropunk Fest left off before becoming Essence Fest with less deodorant and more incense, they sure have learned none of the lessons to learn from Afropunk. So Punk Black so far doesn't guarantee bands any pay unless they sell pre-sale tickets (lol no one buys those), they had a gofund me for an office/studio and a network that went ghost and then suddenly with little build up they announced they're becoming a record label, they promote bands based on how much they're willing to promote Punk Black (that's not really how this works), they've booked bands with members who were actively being accused of SA, and now we have people who are critical of their ethics (wow ethics criticisms coming from a punk scene? No way that's unbelievable) getting either ghosted by the publication or getting passive aggressive responses from their lead executive vice presidick Von Phoenix asking why they want to be promoted if they don't like the publication.

That's the thing though is... That's not how that works in media. I mean. Yes that's how it works. But that's why it doesn't work for US and shouldn't be how it's working from a media publication that wears the outfit of "for us by us." You must not remember that the criticisms of afropunk did not start with ticket prices and Janelle Monae. It started from the beginning with "why is the documentary called the rock and roll n***er show" and "why are we centering tragic mulattos mid documentary" and "why is Spooner showing favoritism to who is getting booked." And I will say that I no longer do the podcast but when I was doing it there's aspects of this to which I failed at also. But I take responsibility for that! What does Von do? Nothing. But he sees me. And he sees the few others willing to sacrifice a few dollars to say what's right out loud.

So I will ask the same thing I asked of Afropunk. If you want to make your money by promoting ethnically ambiguous cosplay girls that you find attractive, some of who aren't even mixed with black at all, + book and promote your friends...Go ahead. Just change your name
