Breaking Free: My Journey from Hyper-Independence to Self-Care
If you’ve been wondering why I’ve been so quiet here it’s because I’ve been hard at work taking care of myself and leveling myself up. This is my journey from running myself ragged to intentional self-care. At some point over the last few years I started to realize I was living in a particularly masculinized […]
Moments in Quitting Weed that Changed My Brain Chemistry
Anyone close to me these days or following my story knows that I quit weed about a year ago. Exactly a year actually as of June 9th. This post was promised that day but I’ve been a little preoccupied with life and work since then so it comes now. My full download of why I […]
Episode 6: Evolution Opinion and Perspectives
Well, that was a lot. Perhaps the most emotional episode so far for me at least if you can believe it. I was left feeling very conflicted after episode 5 and now after episode 6 I feel emotionally drained, but also somehow seen. This is by far my favorite episode, as far as Im concerned […]
Episode 5: Damage Opinion and Personal Perspectives
I have mixed feelings on this last episode. I’m not sure how else to put it. Naturally all of this has brought me back to those times and that relationship and the way I felt during that relationship. I’ve been somewhat accused of only focusing on the bad memories of that relationship. The reality there […]
How I Met Jason Henza: Guest Post from an Unsung Hero
This post was written by my good friend and someone I call my crypto Dad Doug Barbieri. Originally posted on substack, here. While he was interviewed by the producers of The Anarchists, his story with us so far has not been worked into the episodes. Its hard to fit 6 years into only 6 hours […]
Episode 4: Living without the Law Opinions and Perspectives
Ok, so like where do I even start with Episode 4. I suppose the Facebook live videos, to explain why I went live. While I did message Lisa Freeman immediately after the murder, I didn’t call her and I know this because I couldn’t call anyone on my phone. You can see a bit in […]
Episode 3: Currency Opinions and Perspectives
I feel like I need to preface this post with a sort of notice, warning, disclaimer if you will. Needless to say I am having all the feels watching this series. Some of them are positive, like seeing Henza and some footage from after the murder last episode in which I remember who was there […]
The Anarchists: Extra Perspective and Insights About Community Dynamics
I have a bit more perspective to share on my experience with all the experiences I had in my time in that community in Acapulco. I realize now I need to start taking notes while watching for the things that stand out to me because as I see these things visually in front of me […]
Episode 2: Forking Freedom, Opinions and Perspective
I’ve just finished watching the second episode of the HBO series The Anarchists. The first thing I want to say is not about the episode itself but actually about the response from certain aspects of the anarchist community (mostly not ancaps). They’re convinced of sinister things with the makers and have been even giving some […]
HBO’s The Anarchists is coming, and Im not ready.
So what happens when you overshare your deepest traumas and later deepest triumphs in front of a camera for 6 years of your life? Well it ends up on HBO of course. Well, not of course. When I started filming with Todd Schramke and Kim Kylland I had no idea where this film would go. […]
