This album is my complete life story — no holding back.
Childhood in a strict religious home. At just eight years old, I was thrown into a rough ghetto school where I was beaten almost every day. Gangs surrounded me, and one day they put a knife to my throat. Sheltered, terrified, and completely out of place in this world.
The wild descent. Starting drugs at 11, selling large amounts by my mid-teens, becoming the guy everyone cheered for when he walked into the party. Thinking I was invincible — standing up to arms dealers, running from cops, multiple overdoses, including eating 27 ecstasy pills laced with heroin and somehow surviving. Then discovering heroin on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
Redemption era. Becoming a Christian, volunteering endlessly, becoming a head chef, raising my sister’s kids, marrying, building a power couple life while taking care of my mom through 12 years of cancer.
The slow collapse. Health failing, bipolar swings, severe narcolepsy taking over, marriage falling apart, everything I built crumbling while I tried to save everyone else.
The healing road trip. Driving across 23 states in my Valkyrie van, facing every version of my younger self, rescuing the lost parts of my soul — until the near-death moment trapped under a boulder in an Idaho river.
The turning point. The topless moon lady tattoo that changed everything. The decision to stop hiding who I am. North Dakota darkness, raids, losing my sister to jail, and finally returning to Washington.
Where I am now. Completely disabled by narcolepsy (unconscious 22 hours a day), doctors failing me, still creating music, comedy, and the Moonverse every single day in my small windows of wakefulness. Still fighting. Still laughing anyway.
