overheadalways.net

a project i started in summer 2021- a name i made up as a general cover for whatever it turned out to be

i figured a website would be a start if the domain wasn't active; amazingly, all OA extensions were unused

i now have a legal domain of my own with storage galore... wondering what i should publish here

so far it's drawings and photos. i have recent writing, spoken and musical bits- all are pretty short... or i have 20 familiar campfire songs you probably know and love that i play very badly.

origin story:

the OA name came to mind after 50 years of surfing; surfing soon had much less to do with the name concept.

i thought of the ambiguous moniker rapidly in a dozen contexts: angels, planets, love, ancestors, karma, gaia, energy... or goals just to reach, dreams, personal aspirations- intentionaly a fluid web name. but it does stand for something. 'overhead always' is my invention. i will post stuff & trust that you won't steal any of my material

i will soon make it possible to provide input, etc. to the site. i'm making it up as i go along & suck hard at that

musing that for many, access to the hollywood scene begins by finding a parking place


clubbing on the sunset strip in the 1970s

live shows were cheap and plentiful usuallys

parking first hurdle such diverse extremities

legalities neighborhoods exit plans securities

scout about know the rules to turn or not get a spot

hide valuables smoke what it is you got act like you're not

exit the car note where you are every item that you brought

hands in pockets gonna walk alot may even need to trot


note: here casey intervened & said to make it hibiscus-themed & set a 20-minute timer...


clubs not that far apart their lines intertwine bars in between score anything

see the show your ticket's for then walk the town spots up and down

depraved poverty right in your face junkies all running one endless race

seek that place where euphoria blooms in glory-uh blissful wistful empty chase


hibiscus hibiscus

you have come to rescue me

hibiscus hibiscus

would you like a cup of tea


you relax me you don't tax me

my neurons feel less entangled

since your red pistil dangled

is this true love- is it just me
