Welcome to Buddha Squid

I decided I should take a moment to send some shouts out to some people who did some good last week (added some links so you can check out their stories, if you haven’t already heard about them): Pamela Hemphill She was at the capitol on January 6 (2020). She was a Trumpkin. But in…

I went to a poetry slam for the first time last weekend, and while I can completely understand why it’s an art form that hasn’t really taken off, I did have fun. I mean anything’s fun when you’re a little weeded and you’re at a place that pours some fuckin-A tasty stout. Anyway, I’ll probably…

You know the campaign ads are getting annoying when your wife’s a big Patriots fan and even she’s like “I can’t even listen to the game anymore with all these goddam ads.” Sorry not sorry 98.5 Sports Hub But, on a more serious note, if you have some time today, do a quick google on…

Shit’s on tonight..The Raven in Worcester. For a bit there I didn’t know if I was going to be able to make it because, well, my car is old as shit and keeps having issues. Even for a Toyota, 200,000 miles is a lot. Probably going to be getting a 2021 or 2022 Odyssey soon,…

So. I skipped last month, figured I shouldn’t skip two. At some point I will actually build out this site a little. But then I’ve got to actually have a good reason for so doing, as in, have some actual material of consequence to present and/or some activities to plug. THAT SAID–it is about time…

Overthinking things is so much fun, ain’t…

Posting like monthly is probably a good idea, right? It’s been more like a month and a half, but, whatever, at least I got some updates. (side note, I have NOT taken the time to get into the mechanics of working the site here on the Bluehost/Wordpress machine. Eventually I really should do that. ANYHOO).…

My next little project here will be to add some external links, gonna do that in the coming days. Anyway. IN THE MEANTIME… I’m not exactly a young’un–I’m in my forties, actually. Old enough to look back on stuff I said and did in my twenties and think “what in the actual fukk, Luke. Seriously.”…

I’m a Kansas white boy, born in Wichita in the 70’s and transplanted myself to Boston in the late 90’s. I started writing short stories when I was eight, started drumming when I was thirteen, and started singing and composing when I was twenty-one. Rufus Deschain is a “pen name,” by the way–real name being…
