Since September 2011, this channel has been an unpredictable, unfiltered, idiosyncratic medley of art, comedy, nature, philosophy, absurdism, ASMR, and most importantly, authenticity. I'm free to do as I please here, just like how I live my life, and hopefully, how you live yours.
And since mid-October 2025, when I was 54, I finally embraced the writer I should've been since a teen. Aside from being a husband and father (to a son), writing (my 1st of at least 3 books) is my true calling and passion. This channel is now 2nd fiddle to that, and is a reflection of who I am: a free thinker, multipotentialite, eclectic, artist, actor/performer, angler, naturalist, humorist, dadaist, foodie, writer (editor/typesetter/typographer/proofreader), neologist ("Good Now", "Splentastic", etc), world builder, photographer, audio/video editor, PC builder, anarchist, and more: https://ephemeralrift.com/about/
Existence is my palette, the blank page & this channel are my canvases.
