Jail, it sucks, but it can be necessary for knocking the brat complexes out of people, like it did me … whatever .. I’m only surly this morning because I still need to smoke and have a coffee .. yep .

Ok, on to other stuff … Like, romance… When’s the last time you were romantic?

Necessary, teeth brushing, sometimes ….. TREAVEN!

Love resides for those who twin to others in harmony.. I’m feeling pretty great about life right now and I’m trying to find my easy avenues for existence here yo ,,,,,, Hye Pockets …. Are you ok?

Twin Cities music scene, Anoka is gonna be hoppin’ on May 23rd at the Knights of Columbus building for the first annual Rum River Shakedown, in memory of Art Reese …. 

I’m too swamped with other stuff to blog, I’m heading to Mississippi on Thursday and I need to buy a reliable bike to take down there …. Lovz, AC

It’s all weird and then you’re gone, is what’s patterning … Whole not ____ yep.

It has been a disaster sweeping up indecency in my ownership of money and cleaning up my spiritual karmic at the same time and my next phase is earning and saving money in a success pattern .. absolutely, compassion …. It’s not an easy line when you’re spoiled .. Alex Rossi said all my debts have been paid over the microphone at Bunkers Music Bar and Grill and since then, everything has gone better and I’m learning more. Debt free and lovin’ it….. Ready to earn god, yep.

On to other things, like stories. Like the time I burnt a bunch of paper in the middle of a pond … someday, god. How about the first time I met Joe from Left Lane Cruiser, evenly .. the second interaction … I was so busy then I was probably double booked and couldn’t see them perform at the Bayport BBQ … I do remember them kicking ass lots of times on many stages … life is strange and I need to finish this story ….. The second interaction we each exchanged CDs and I need to get him more recorded music now .. that second interaction changed my life for the better, when he passed me Rock ‘em Back to Hell and I passed him Tied to the World Behind Me. That was a spark for both of us and I would guess that it provided each of us hope. Just like the CD exchange that I did with The Gated Community ..

I need rest, lovz, AC

Starting the morning out right. Yep. I feel way better than before, which is awesome. 

I feel pretty good. - AC

People can be annoying, really annoying; the trick is: don’t care about their ways, keep your eyes peeled on your own bobber and let theirs be annoying and for them to deal with. Family is even more complicated than “people” so keep that in mind too, at least they aren’t your family … imagine having to deal with that fucker on a regular basis; you’re welcome.

I needed to hear that for my own self too, so thanks.

Peace and love, AC

Yesterday was great, I ironed out lots of details on the first annual Rum River Shakedown, rad! 

So, I need to relax for like 20 minutes before I get started blogging here ….. New shirts coming out on the web-store soon  ….. Wooop! 

I’m listening to old ass blues music from the 1940’s it sounds like, not sure which artist, which is a surprise … it might just be another lost nerd blues soul like myself … weird, how things cycle back like that … can’t quit pushing evens, I need to call people when they come in with inspiration and roll with the punches and flow towards more moves and less food.

I’m about to re arrange my truck from street muse to, traveling one man band for my show in New London, leaving the cities ma night early and hitting the open mic at Little Theater up there on the street perpendicular to the main drag ,, yo? Come! 

Thanks for listening to the podcast, and the Rum River Shakedown is gonna be off the hook, yo 

… AC OUT … boogie1down

 04.09.2026 am

Missed my pm blog yesterday, I’m getting my am blog in barley … Hanging out at my pirate bar hometown spot and living easier than normal. - AC

Making bank, it’s time to earn during an economic downturn. Hustling. Ice Cube once mentioned on the Carson Daily Show that there are only two types of people in life, Pimps and Hoes ……. Which one you be, Starcracker? Earing in the economic earnestly of clear takes and gives and sells and what do you get? Trust. Boogie is cookin’ too and I’ll be earning in that department on Saturday at Goat Ridge Brewing in New London. One man boogie band … WITH harmonicas, and I’m looking forward to making that boogie bank, thanks Josh.

Trump is just a lot, that’s all .. Biden was a puppet .. Obama tried, Bush was a puppet … Carter was a bad ass .. Bush Sr. was real … Colin Powell can rot in hell according to Purple Heart war vetrian’s dead living opinion …. Rest in peace Art Reese ….. Fuck politics .. boogie trumps Trump, that’s it … whatever, people will still get pissed reading this probably .. oofta.

Now, food, eat less, take a quicker shower, expand more on saving resources … plant a garden, eat fresh food, plant trees, live without rape=ing the planet, please .. thanks! 

I’m only trying my best here, and so is my bartender, thanks for the water, no ice, Alex

 04.08.2026 am

Another recording session passed with Jeremy Johnson, Keith Boyles, and Bobby Vandell supporting three of my songs across a four hour period of time. It’s humbling to have that much horse power behind one’s own art.. Rad.

Other things, like ice cream, it fills in the cracks after a meal, so eat that and remember, it came from someone else to get to you.

Life is beautiful and life is weird. It goes fast sometimes and sometimes it goes by like cold syrup out of the fridge. Either way, appreciating it helps the time go by easier. Find it and hold it, appreciation. Get one with the weirdness too, be weird. Life is bizarre, roll with it.

I didn't talk to my brother on his birthday, I did leave him three voice mail messages before his voicemail was full though…. The last message I was going to send was “Fart Noises” off youtube … 2.3 million views of fifteen glorious seconds of fart noises, and shit, his voicemail box was full … ha!

I miss my friend Smokestack, that grumpy friendly fucker. My last interaction was pretty on point with how he needed and how I needed to grow as people, and I’m fine with that. I took that $1k he owed me and walked out cold .. he needed to see that.

I smoke marijuana regularly these days, and I feel better because of it .. I need to mention, thanks to the state of Minnesota for allowing me the option to smoke pot legally while on probation.

I gotta go, this day is calling me, love, AC 

04.07.2026 am

Happy birthday to my blood brother Clint, bless his thoughts, spirit and temple god … 

On to other things, trust your instincts ya’ll … or don’t sometimes …. I don’t know

Now, I have an announcement … new music by Alexander Craig will be coming out soon. Also, I’ve released a mountain of material under an alias that will not be mentioned to anyone … I’m testing A.I. on streaming regauring authenticity and the concept of "the cream will rise" ….. Nod to Ike Turner who released a 45rpm single under RENRUT EKI (name spelled backwards) to test the public under the terms of the hype of his name at that time vs. the merit of his artistic integrity …. Watch his stage leadership in those late 60’s videos of him and Tina …. He was a leader and a pressure pusher on stage …. Just like I am, and like local legend Brian Hayes was too … REST IN PEACE BRIAN … and Al Mevison ….. anyway, new music under Alexander Craig coming out soon ….

So, that was a lot … how’s about Box Breathing? You draw deep for four seconds, hold your breathe for four seconds, let it out for four seconds ,,, then you keep zero in your lungs for four seconds, then repeat by drawing in for four seconds … it’s great for resetting and meditation in this day and age of so may of the 10,000 things of every day … Shout out to the Tao.

I drove a Harley-Davidson Sportster from St. Michael to Minneapolis tonight, and my dick has never been so cold, literally , in my life , for real ….. Yep, 38 degrees at 80 mph is too cold to be without long-johns, aahuh ...

It’s for sale, email me for a good 2006 runner … boogie, AC …… 

 04.06.2026 pm

I’ve had a whirlwind of a day so far, recorded two songs with a producer from France, got money for a Harley Davidson Sportser from the bank, made an event link for the First Annual Rum River Shakedown, paid for half of the cost down for a new run of ladies Boogie Booty Shorts and Boogie Baseball Caps over the phone (while at the same time, on face-time with the producer in France, which was weird as hell) and I’m in the middle of doing my laundry currently … oofta .. yep .

Next, be nice to people, it helps. Don’t sell yourself over other people, it’s a shit way to survive, so be nice. Easy. Help others without them asking …. It will actually cycle back to someone else helping you some day, so put some effort in, without even trying to “try”, just do it. Kindness goes a long way in this day and age, so does selfless-ness. Try existing for others AND yourself, like they are a mirror of yourself.

Lastly, I’m swamped and I need to exercise more, so I gotta go, yo! If you’re in the market for a rad Pinball Machine of the Playboy nature or if you’re looking for a running motorcycle for this season, hit me up on the contact page, boogie! AC

 04.05.2026 pm

It’s been a good day. I started out preparing for departure on my Motorcycle, and now I’m way up in Isanti County blogging at my Old Man’s place on the old dirt road. Yep. Otherwise, my uncles seem pretty good and I’m glad that they saw my vintage Kay Electric Guitar. The great thing is, my uncle gave me a new hunting jacket in camo, with foul pockets in the front, one on each side.

We all did a podcast together and that felt successful, so all good. My uncle John is driving a 05 Mustang with reverse offset truck wheels on it, it looks tough as fuck and squatting wide and low, bad ass. Old Man took the role of co-host and seemed to enjoy the ride too, which was rad … check it out here.

With everything else, I need to get to a social spot and brush my teeth and remember that I only have one life to live and the most practical next place for me to sleep would be is in Anoka, time to scoot soon because of deer moving around on country roads and my ass being on a bike, safely, dig? Yeah … Where is my second phone, god?

Life is a whirl-wind sometimes and the little things like making old guys laugh means a lot sometimes … rest is important too, and wind therapy too … and skateboards … and love, and honesty, and kindness .. and all that stuff brings you closer to that happy, happy… dig? Yeah, I’m thinking about you, goomba .. shoop ,, shoooop! 

Love and easy success for easy successes … just an egg galloping down the line, AC

 04.04.2026 pm

I just bought a Sportster. Last night was amazing at Rossi’s show. Love that guy … 

Ran into a weird situation giving two folks a ride that I didn’t expect .. English accent …. Yeah.

So, anywho, I’m fine here. I’m blogging at my favorite gas station chain in the Midwest, KwikTrip, yep. I’m behind on coffee consumption and I have a headache, and I should try to get closer to Anoka, asap…. I wonder how UJ is … Tavia is leaving Clint a message on the jail phone on my dime, so that’s cool …. She’s in that got’damn mental hospital on University Ave., that place I know all too well …. Hustlin’, it’s easier than being a street muse or a family enlightenment leader… FOR REAL.

Onward and upward, things are falling in place to make my life financially sustainable again, which is rad, time to make money again … yep .. So, wanna buy a Harley? I own two of them now .. and a 1989 Playboy pinball machine, which is also FOR SALE, contact me.

Other things, pod casting is crazy with randoms on the street, so, if we already know each other and you have anything interesting to say to humanity, please contact me.

Lastly, I need to stay on the ball and keep my nose to the grinding stone, so be well people, peace and love, AC

 04.03.2026 am

Krista invited me to go to the Minnesota Twins Opener today, so you know I’m going … yep!

Yesterday was a good day. Today will be good too, thanks god. I need to find speed with this typing b.s. because I’m all ramped up and in the mood to do something other than Blogging .. Whatever, I’ll find a flow and run it ……

In the beginning everything is kinda wonky with big ideas and big moves and then typically the kinks get ironed out and the machine starts working for it’s own selfness and the ball just kinda keeps moving …. That’s what I’m hopeful for .. yeah.

Sometimes what looks like chaos to others is actually ironing out kinks for eventually instead of peace and awesome in the now, it’s like making way for that, eventually, dig? Yeah, think about it. In the base pattern of the way I’m wired sits the foundation of inspiration meets freewill meets freedom in moves, forward, not straight, we don’t need to bump into anymore stuff yo, seriously … 

I need to fix my bumper with a frankenstein ziptie and black back strap plastic thing, like hillbilly ghetto hoopty style, yeah ,,, I’m fine, I hope Hye Pockets is ok, I haven’t heard from him in a couple weeks … those old guys keep getting older and I know I’m gonna miss them when they're gone, yep. In the country people make do, in the ghetto people do too … New Orleans is in my future, and I’m hopeful that I’ll keep finding people who hit a similar sentiment in freedoms here in the twin cities, for sure. I need to stop running into shit with my work truck …..

I gotta close up shop here and go to the computer store, AC

 04.02.2026 pm

So, it’s fine, the world is not a vampire anymore, thanks god. What a life… I’m ready for something other than blogging, if you know what I mean … I’ll power it out tough .. I’m turning on my headphones at the bar and getting busy with this blog, baby, yep!

Headwater, clean water boogie! Mississippi was a good lesson from Traven on the podcast today, and my mom actually liked the interview .. rad. Boogie, cleanly, out at the bar,, try it Mikey!! Come on boogie, heal me now…. 

This is better, thanks self.. Smart idea, numb out the chatter and get to grinding, like how I do…. Yep! Listening to “Bittersweet” by Galactic … Not sure if it’s A.I. Generated music, which is where we stand these days, so now I’m going to research …. WOW, 2003 release that sounds pretty damn current, way to get about it early Galactic! Yeah.

Push is the way I go towards appeasing my commitment to expanding on Art practices in the greater metro areas of this fine nation … it can get a little crazy at times so now I’m subject to telling Police what’s going on before I test boundaries, adulting, it’s a thing.

Chill is an easier line, currently and I’m fine with that, love and rest, AC

 04.01.2026

April Fool, yeah call me that please… It’s been a week, slept ten hours again ….. Exhausted, that’s how I woke up …. Been giving a lot to eventuals and hoping for forward moving energy to plow through … plant a  seed, water it, watch it sprout ……… What else is there, fool?

I’m hearing from spirit that I should move to Vegas, it’s probably a calling and a run that I can’t come to comprehend unless I just take a big leap into the Mississippi River tour run that makes more sense to the spirit of my personal essence, and the betterment of mystery and offering lessons … I could do all that in Vegas, so um yeah….. What else?

Who cares? Let me run into those type of people today, please god? My brother was stupid, lot’s …. In my life I was too …. Art Reese taught me, it’s not about the “do” it’s about the “when” and “why” ……. see? Care-er-ers, where yee be? Seriously. Exhaustion.

I need to do other things, lov, AC

04.01.2026 pm

It goes like this, it’s all complicated for a while, then things typically go easier there onwards… Thank god for coffee and friends … they're everywhere, don’t forget. Love resides to those who offer and give and hope for the same from others ….. Where is the offer and what is the cost? …..Think about it..

This has all been a learning curve for everyone, and it always will be… so try to be easy, yo! Learning is an everyday part of life, so when an offer to learn comes in, allow space for it to come through the threshold. Learn for futures, and teach for futures. 

I need to reach out to MC Lucky……

So, working in proximity to others who are trying in the same vein of hustle actually helps, for why? I don’t know, life is weird. It does help to work next to a buddy. Cool…..

I’m a little brief with this blog today, but I’ve got a lot going on in my life currently, so give me a break, will ya? AC

 03.31.2026 am

I’m fine, I slept almost 12 hours last night and forgot to take the stupid pill, so I think I’ll be ok… I’ll take the pill tonight, don’t read into it. Fuck, life is a fucking bugger sometimes. I just traded bracelets with another bracelet maker in NE Minneapolis, so everything will go better.

I’m going to the studio with a 1959-1962 era Kay electric guitar made in Chicago, Illinois and recording Blues in Ram-kucky as the cool kids are calling it these days … The instrument has hardly been played and it’s immaculate in the framework of clean energy … bless me Wanye Dyer, this day started with an audio book of yours, rest in peace. Thanks Mr. Mark Music in Anoka, Minnesoata, the Kay will be put to good use today … Love, AC

03.31.2026 pm

Too much time in spirit these past few months.. My heart feels for Clinten and spirit is hinting to distance myself from him based on simple logic in timing and honor ….. Time to cut from bad juju .. in general too …. It’s about that one last synchronicity that also ties into the first and third issues where the mystery begins in the old world testament …… mind your body, fool head …. This is three same thiiiiiing as that other he-haw except this is hillbilly country punk on motors and engines and body resistance and strength, and animal spirits like ::::: HAWK :::::: GARFISH ::::: DEER :::::: OWL :::::: RAPTER :::::: ____

It’s time for a chill out yo, let’s take a breather everyone …. It’s a bonkers way to be up here in Minnesota Currently …. Bonkers…. It’s good, we crew with real ones, rasta style and medicated in the easy vibe of the bud of the sun is the life to which we spark on this planet ,,,,, and then I heard Boogiefied …. From a smartphone on speaker at the coffee shop that I’m at …. Weird ….. I need to chill and they are wired from being on foot, these four boys that just came in ,.... Time to go to work ….. Yep 

I didn’t see this coming, I just made friends with all these boys that are hustling candy for various reasons …… Took a lot to keep them from getting kicked out ,,, whatever ,,,,, Shout out to Allen Kirk and Jason Madreos —- I’ll be at Blues Saloon tonight …. Yep ,, time to go to work … man with god ;;;;; now reflections ;;; Payne, why you don’t call back??? AC
