30 months later

It’s May 8th 2017

Let’s do a little recap of the past 30 months December 2014 I drove for mai thai nearly everyday and made around $2,000 it was both exciting and stressful I thought life was really looking up. All I really remember about that month was making money and a couple drunk driving nights with matt January 2015 Had to give the car back to Ashley's mom luck reversal, the universe always does this kinda thing to me. I persevered and was coincidentally able to borrow sarah’s car after she moved in with us temporarily broken up with Brandon. I got my first I-phone from selena’s dad. All in all it was a pretty good month. I remember playing south park pinball v stoned. February 2015 I began to realize this job wasn’t going to be all I had assumed as I made only half of what I did in January. Around the end of the month I had to give car back to Sarah as she got back together with Brandon. We were not on good terms after that. March 2015 Things only got harder work wise as I started borrowing cars from both Mike and Sada basically having to bike to work and home though mike often gave me a ride. The money I was making was decreasing. I used Tax money to buy a new car that only lasted a few a couple weeks. It was terribly disappointing. April 2015 The best thing I had going for me was the IPhone and my art direction had begun to change. I had been given the opportunity for a book however and was stoked on that. I had also been compiling video clips for a new series “The Life And Times Of Taj Bourgeois Vol 1″ Things with Selena steadily got worse of course, and by the end of the month I was taking the bus all the way out to PCC where Jeff was living in Ashley’s grandma’s garage just to borrow his car to keep working at Mai Thai. However Matt had hooked me up with Wynde who owned a greencab, and so I began the process to become a taxi driver. May 2015 This was a very rough month as tips dwindled and Jeff’s car finally died. There were a couple weeks in limbo as I awaited my fate as a taxi driver. I don’t remember too much else. I did some training nights with Wynde and felt anxious to begin. It had been my dream to drive Taxi for many years, and now finally I was getting the chance. I also had a couple pieces in “Art In America” and assumed my luck was going to change and I’d get “discovered” this was not the case. June 2015 I would ride my bike with a flat tire to Wyndes and drive the cab, and then get off as the sun rose, drink a 22oz, smoke weed, and bike home. It was pretty nostalgic at the time. The money was pretty good. However, Uber and Lyft had just become a thing, and eventually would force me to quit. For most of June I had very little to do with Selena, and got a tinder account. July 2015 My book came out, and that was a big deal. Definitely felt like I was achieving my dreams along with being a taxi driver. It's kinda crazy to think I spent most of 2016 awake at night. I also had sex with someone other than Selena for the first time since Kristen... an embarrassing fact even though I was elated for the experience. It was some of the hottest sex I ever had. Also around this time my grandparents gave me their old Volvo. Things were going pretty good. August 2015 Selena started seeing Jared, and I started seeing Emi. In my case however it was mostly just a desire for sex, and I did not achieve that lol. She was very naïve and in a sense I was just trying to keep the envy between selena and I balanced. Taxi was ok, and I was just happy to be taking pics and videos with my phone. Times were weird. September 2015 Not much changed. Emi got back with her ex which was a relief. She was a good subject for photos at the time. I was in a nudes group and on tinder and it bolstered my sense of confidence. Selena would still have sex with me sometimes. Turns out its cause her bf had a big dick and was never able to make her come. Kai started school next door. October 2015 Nearly a year after starting this “get well soon” blog, and to an extent I had become quite a different person. I was becoming a bit reckless with relationships. October had always brought about strange vibes and great changes, and this year was no exception. I got to live at wyndes for a week while she was in California, and hooked up with Sayer from the fb group, and a few days later hooked up with Rebecca (mike’s on and off again ex) It wasn’t a good idea, but at the time my sexual prowess was pretty much my main source of confidence. Alcoholism was the same as ever. The moment that changed everything was getting a rent increase in the mail, and reacting by kicking over a garbage can. Apparently the owner of the property saw this and we got a 3 month notice for eviction. Later that night I cried hard in my car at Lloyd center after stealing a body suit costume. Later still, I was on my 5th beer around midnight just sitting on my phone trying to get laid, and I did... Vasiliki. It was a very beautiful night though it was a one time thing, that kinda just depressed me further. At the same time I was preparing for a show in Knoxville via Sara Daniels, and that still gave me the kind of hope needed to keep making art. So far this year I was basically just a photographer, and maker of the kinds of funny videos you might stumble upon your fb feed. November 2015 The Knoxville show was one of the best times of my life, and the paintings that led up to it.. I can see now... were indicative of what would eventually transpire. Anyway... I had a great time... unfortunately the taxi money was going way down and it was incredibly depressing. On the plus side selena finally got a job for the first time since kai was born. I remember being especially lonely as November ended. Selena went with jared to thanksgiving without me or kai, and I remember thinking how shallow their relationship seemed. Still, I was grateful that she had something/someone to occupy her time with rather than focus all her shortcoming on me. December 2016 Bleak month. Much different than the year before it. All I can really remember without the aid of Instagram (to refresh my memory) was long desolate nights in the taxi. Christmas was especially depressing. Lol I just realized I forgot to mention some of the other tinder one nighters... whatever. Taxi began seeming like a mistake, and I had no idea what I was doing with art anymore. January 2017 Much like December with the added stress of having to move out and nowhere to go. Well... as the gods of coincidence would have it... Davey started doing heroin again and was kicked out of his parent’s basement. With a little help from my grandparents yet again..  our luck greatly improved. Though I think Selena and I both knew this would be the last place we lived together. Meeting Caitlin was by far the best thing that came out of this month. I don’t remember what happened to matt aside from cutting back on alcohol and weed, but for the rest of our time at Teresa's cailtin was my best friend. February 2017 Even though Uber/Lyft were driving taxis out of business it was ok enough that I could pay the rent with just $400 though there was fear about how I would maintain after the 6 month lease was over. Still, things definitely chilled for everyone as we languished in the cool of the basement by day and the fire pit by night.. I had a bittersweet nostalgia brewing for this time. I also tried tinder again when who should I meet but the popular abdl Mathilda. We had a brief fling and it made me feel good about my sexuality again, but it wasn’t enough and I ended up feeling depressed again. March 2017 I maintained this depression with a balance of mania. These were the days of drunken tomfoolery with Caitlin, and the discovery of digital collage “the shitposting era” which in fact was a very important development. I’m still surprised by how little I did with my all night mobility and sanctuary in the cab up until this point. Suddenly I was making 3-10 “memes” a night whether in the cab or at home “watching” kai, drinking brass monkey, but at least was exhilarated by art again, and also got a show booked at Reed.  Might as well mention my one nighter in a hotel with any, enemas, and whips etc... feeling more comfortable with myself than I had in a long time. April 2017 I met Breanne (soon to be Mochi) the day of my show at Reed. It was the final act of my “brand” set in motion by thejogging. There was both a sense of closure and beginning that day. It was one of the best days of my life. Caitlin (who I assume was jealous) disappeared for the rest of the month. Mathilda came out after Breanne left. Mike and Rebecca came out (amends where made), and Wynde also came out to show support, and took lots of pictures. That’s all I really recall about that month. I had butterflies and mantis’s in my stomach. I started seeing Breanne and felt very cautious. She was straight-edge vegan and extremely busy with work and ryatt who was almost 2. I was both attracted and turned off by all these things, but she seemed very sweet, innocent, accepting, and had lived through some hard shit. For the most part I kept my distance, but can’t remember much else about this month. May 2017 Shit went crazy and it was all in my head.
